A different perspective at Pierchic

For a combination of spectacular Burj Al Arab views and the very best seafood, Pierchic is unbeatable. Part of the Al Qasr hotel in Madinat Jumeirah, Pierchic sits at the end of a long wooden pier, several hundred metres out into the sea. Far from the bustle of the main hotel and surrounded by endless blue, it’s no surprise that Pierchic has been consistently recognised as one of the most romantic restaurants in Dubai. The menu is an ode to Italy with fresh crudo, light antipasti and perfect pasta – don't be afraid to ask for recommendations and the waitstaff can advise on the freshest catch of the day.
Superb views from Souk Madinat

Souk Madinat Jumeirah is the retail heart of the Madinat Jumeirah complex, and is packed with dozens of delicious restaurants. As with the hotels, some establishments boast admirable panoramas of the Burj Al Arab, particularly in the evening. Folly by Nick & Scott is the venture of two Gordon Ramsay protégés, with a menu offering all the excitement and innovation their mentorship suggests. Meanwhile, Publique is rated as one of the best French restaurants in Dubai, and aims to bring the atmosphere of an Alpine ski chalet to Dubai’s coast – except towering over the restaurant is the Burj Al Arab, instead of the Mont Blanc. And down by the canal-side, Anar offers excellent Persian cuisine with a view.
