It’s not difficult to see why Pierchic is regularly proclaimed as one of the city’s most romantic spots for a long lunch or dinner. Jutting out into the Arabian Gulf on a wooden pier, the restaurant wows with clever use of open indoor and outdoor spaces lined with woods, silver and endless glass walls. Specialising in shellfish and seafood, plus few other meatier options, chef de cuisine Rosalind Parsk’s menu leans on the Mediterranean. Part of the Madinat Jumeirah, this chic pier can be accessed from hotel Al Qasr’s pool and beach area.
