Hospitality
continues
to grow…
Another new year is upon us and Aspire Katara Hospitality (AKH) – one of Qatar’s leading companies in the hospitality sector – seeks to build on the successes of previous years and welcome the challenges and opportunities presented by the year ahead.
AKH continues to grow and the main reason for this is the superb range of brands that come under its umbrella – brands that appeal to all sections of Qatari society. They range from dining at premium outlets like the L’wzaar Seafood Market to the fashionable and fun Red Velvet Cupcakery – just two of AKH’s expanding portfolio of branded outlets.
Not everything that AKH does is visible to the eye, however, with the company providing consultancy services for concept design, concept enhancement and management operations for a host of other hospitality companies within Qatar. High profile Event management is an important part of what we do.
AKH achieved numerous successes in previous years, including the opening of chocolate boutique Chac’Late in February 2013; the opening of American-themed burger joint Burgeri in June 2013; The opening of Al Jazeera Media Cafe in Katara in May 2015; The opening of Burgeri Bus in August 2015; The opening of Chac’Late extension in January 2016; Conceptualization, management and execution of Ramadan lighting as well as other hospitality activities within Katara Cultural Village, such as the Qatar National Day decoration and the event management of the Katara Traditional Dhow Festival. The opening of the 3rd Katara Traditional Dhow Festival 2013 was under the auspices of His Highness Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani, the Emir of the State of Qatar.
AKH completed its plans to open two outlets abroad. The ‘Chapati & Karak’ restaurant in London’s Brompton Street (at the exclusive Knightsbridge area of the British capital) opened in January 2014 and Burgeri restaurant in 22 Great Marlborough Street, London opened in July 2016. This year, there are more projects to look forward to in Katara Cultural Village and Aspire Park.
AKH is a company defined not only by bringing the best dining experiences and hospitality to its customers but also a clear vision and ambition to become a global brand. 2014 marks a real push to turn this vision into reality by expanding and exporting the quality brands AKH has built up in Qatar, and also promoting the consultancy services it offers to a wider audience.
The company already has the presence in London, but this is only the beginning. By nurturing our brands – and accruing even more, hospitality experience, AKH seeks to combine these two strong strands into a combined product that will prove irresistible to the overseas market.
With hard work and dedication, AKH feels the coming years are going to be great and we are at your service, always.

le VESUVIO INTRODUCES PIZZA NIGHT, “CLASSIC VS. GASTRONOMIC PIZZA”
November 28, 2016
le Vesuvio launches a themed “Pizza Night” to take your Pizza cravings to further heights. We aimed to introduce an extraordinary pizza tasting experience from the interplay between Classic and Gastronomic. The Pizza Night will be held from 6 pm onwards at the le Vesuvio Rooftop Terrace in Katara Cultural Village. This theme night commences on the 30th November until 17th December 2016.
There is no doubt that Pizza is a worldwide favorite. Above all, it is one of Italy’s favorites amongst its national dishes. Pizza making in Naples, Italy becomes an authentic artisan tradition passed down from one generation to the next. Thus, pizza becomes an icon which symbolizes Italian gastronomy. Aside from its variety of forms – round or rectangular, in a dinner table or grab-to-go, it also comes with the variety of toppings and customized methods of dough preparation to achieve the desired taste and level of digestion.
At le Vesuvio, we take our dough preparation to the highest level of standard. We take great pride in introducing our special 41-year old secret recipe from a family of baking experts to create an exquisite sourdough base. We worked towards achieving the right method to form the perfect sourdough, raised and fermented for 24 hours to obtain the desired softness and consistency. Lastly, it is blasted in the oven to ensure that it gets the right balance between a crispy edge and a soft center. The result is a differently delectable pizza-light, crackling crispy on the outside but chewy moist within.
The Pizza Night will showcase offerings of the regular Classic Pizza with toppings which are prepared the traditional way, whilst the Gastronomic Pizza is specially prepared with pre-baked sourdough garnished with a combination of fresh and pre-cooked toppings. Guests will enjoy a special set menu consisting of an Appetizer salad, Classic and Gastronomic Pizza, a Dessert and a Mocktail of the night.
The distinctive taste of the usual Classic pizza and our bespoke Gastronomic pizza will come as a surprise. Are you now ready to take part in this battle of the bites?
For reservations, please call 4408 1500.
All restaurants within the AKH portfolio are unique and offer a diverse dining experience.
