The first-ever Dominican Week in Qatar has concluded with an exclusive dinner that brought the best of Dominican gastronomy to Hunters Room & Grill at The Westin Doha Hotel and Spa.
Dominican chef Maria Marte captivated the diners with a gastronomic proposal that combined Dominican, Latin American and Mediterranean cuisine with Arab ingredients – a sophisticated fusion of flavours that represented a piece of the Dominican Republic on each plate.
