NANA's Restaurant

NANA's Restaurant is a beachfront restaurant at Qurum Beach on 3044 Way in Muscat, Oman, popular for breakfast with a view of the Gulf of Oman. The location is one of the draws: Qurum is among the capital's most visited stretches of coast, with a long sandy beach, a promenade and a relaxed holiday atmosphere that suits a slow morning meal. The menu combines Omani and international breakfast dishes. The Omani traditional breakfast is the dish most likely to interest visitors, typically built around egg rolls and other savoury items served with bread and accompanied by karak tea, the strong milk tea spiced with cardamom that is ubiquitous in Oman. For those preferring a Western style, French toast offers a sweet alternative. This pairing of local and international breakfast makes the restaurant suitable for mixed groups where tastes differ. The atmosphere is casual and breezy, with the beach setting setting the tone. Dress is relaxed, though modest beachwear cover-ups are expected when walking into the restaurant, and noise is generally low in the morning. Prices are mid-range at roughly OMR 4-10 per person, and a full breakfast with tea fits comfortably within that range. The restaurant operates on a walk-in basis, but arriving early is advisable on Fridays and Saturdays, when residents and families fill beachfront tables. Mornings are cooler and the light is good for photographs of the shoreline. In summer, outdoor seating can become uncomfortably hot by mid-morning, so early arrival or air-conditioned seating is the better choice, while the cooler months from October to April are ideal for sitting outside. After eating, visitors can walk along the Qurum promenade, visit the nearby Qurum Natural Park or head to the beach. The restaurant is also reachable by taxi from most central hotels in a short ride.
