RESTORATION METHODS

All the world's cuisines are represented in the Sultanate, due to the presence of foreigners on site (expatriates, Indian workers, Pakistani or Sri Lankan staff, etc.), but also those of international chains and hotels. French, Italian, Moroccan, Indian, Lebanese, etc. All bets are in place, especially in Muscat with the greatest diversity of possible tables. The best restaurants are usually located in hotels, but there are also some good tables outside.

On the price side, the range is large, but rather cheap, when you depart from international hotels. In particular, Indian or local dishes can be restored with fresh fruit juice for only 2 RO (4 euros).

Fast food/fast food

Several international channels are located in the Sultanate: Mac Donald's, Papa John's Pizza, Pizza Hut, Starbucks, etc…

Many shops or crisp shops also sell popular dishes, ready to prepare or very fast to prepare, such as historical, shawarmas, falafels, etc.

The Buffets and Friday Brunch

All major hotels have at their own minimum, in addition to foreign or gastronomic tables, a main restaurant in which buffets are served, often subject to themes and variables depending on each day of the week (Italian Monday, Arabic on Tuesday, seafood on Wednesdays, for example…). The more luxurious the hotel, the greater the choice of culinary products and preparations, but always at affordable rates.

One of the local institutions is Friday Brunch (Friday brunch), very popular among all communities, both expatriate and Omani, and especially families. Participating in the Friday Brunch of a large hotel is a way to have access to the gardens, swimming pools, landscaped beach. a chance (see the box in the "Restaurants" section of the Muscat chapter)!
