Gerry’s Grill is quite famous in the Philippines. The Filipino community was ecstatic when we saw that Gerry’s Grill would open in Doha, but of course we were not hoping for it to be the same from back home. There are a few things that we were certain won’t be available here in Qatar.

For one, it's famous Beer Tower will definitely be on the no-no list. It's branch here in Qatar will surely be a dry establishment. Of course some of it's famous pork items such as the Crispy Pata (Pork Knuckles) and my favorite Shredded Pork Adobo Bits will also be unavailable. 

Well, enough about those that are not here and let's talk about what's available.

Baked Tahong

The baked tahong (mussel) is one of my favorites. The mussels are sprinkled with some cheese and baked.

Coco Fish Fingers

Fish Fillet coated in Coconut Milked and deep fried. These, I ordered on impulse but I was surprised when we had a bite. You can actually taste the coconut milk used for coating the fish fillet. Served with garlic sauce.

Seafood Rice

I was a little disappointed with the Seafood Rice, there was not much "seafood" in it, except for the mussels you see on top of the rice which I think was more of a garnish than for flavor.

Adobo Rice

The Adobo Rice was more my thing than the Seafood Rice. Cooked White Rice with Adobo Sauce and bits of Chicken Adobo wrapped in banana leaf.

Crispy Tadyang ng Baka

Crispy Tadyang ng Baka (Beef Ribs) is the best substitute for Crispy Pata (Pork Knuckles). I was very surprised as it was very tender and the meat was actually falling off the bone. It is served with soy sauce and vinegar.

Inihaw na Pusit

Grilled Squid, this is one of their best sellers and I would definitely recommend this for all seafood lovers. It is served with the same soy sauce with vinegar dip as the Cripsy Tadyang and some Atsara (pickled carrots and unripe papaya).

The restaurant is clean and the staff are friendly. Although, I would suggest that you order some appetizer as most of the food take time to cook.

They are located in Al Nasser Street, just right in front of Family Food Center. Parking is quite scarce in this area, but if you're lucky, you might just find one in front of the establishment.

As fas as Italian Restaurants go, Lo Spaghetto has always been our favorite. It’s just a few blocks away from our accommodation so it’s really accessible for us. Although, its location is quite busy, Lo Spaghetto always seems to be unpopulated; which for me is always better than overcrowded places.

The ever-present Mushroom Soup. This, for me, was a bit on the "instant" side, you know those soups you buy in a sachet and you add boiled water. 

This shrimp salad was not what I expected, because they are not that fancy on plating. But what they lack in artistry, they make up for in the food. This, by far, is second on my list (next to The Noodle House) for the best shrimp salad in Doha.

Now, this two are the superstars of the night. We just could not get enough of their Mixed Seafood Marinara sauce that we decided to have it in our pasta and risotto.
