Arguably one of the most romantic destinations in Dubai, Pierchic seafood restaurant at Jumeirah Al Qasr is a serious scene-stealer, when it comes mindblowing locations. Its unique over-water location, floating above the Arabian Gulf and accessed by a wooden pedestrian pier, allows you to feel like you’re walking on water, and features some of the best views of the twinkling skyline, with Burj Al Arab, Burj Khalifa and Ain Dubai, the world’s largest Ferris wheel, lighting up the shore.
A quintessential setting for proposals, romantic dinners and incredible evenings under the stars, many memories have been made here. This month, however, reasons to visit grow even longer, with the introduction of its new three-course Sunset Menu. Already renowned for only using the freshest seasonal produce, Pier Chic has created a new menu, focused around seafood, but also emphasising intelligent twists on contemporary dishes, in order to showcase the skillset of the restaurant’s award-winning team.
Your culinary journey will run you through the gamut of gastronomical fare, starting with Artisan UAE burrata with red endive, mango and black olive crumble, Australian beef tartare with crispy egg yolk, hazelnut may and pickled onion, and seared queen scallops with a duo of butternut squash and Venere rice. Tempted? Then let the carefully-curated mains of corn-fed chicken breast with topinambur cream and zucchini, wild mushroom risotto with parsley pesto and Norwegian salmon with wilted spinach, saffron sauce and lemon zest give you a final push.
Round off your evening with UAE ricotta pistachio cheesecake with sour cherry sorbet, leaving you sated and happy on your walk back to dry land.
