Pierchic
Pierchic
Over-water restaurant Pierchic offers a romantic setting with uninterrupted views of the famous Burj Al Arab Jumeirah. The menu is predictably luxurious, with caviar, lobster and foie gras and an expensive drinks list to match, but for sunset dining views over the Arabian Gulf, Pierchic is hard to beat.
