Pierchic reopened on 26 October after a refit, at the end of the pier that runs out from Jumeirah Al Qasr. The kitchen now belongs to Emanuele De Leo, previously at Shimmers, and the menu is Italian coastal cooking, from crudi to pasta.

Jumeirah calls the new Pierchic a salotto by the sea. In practice it is a long dinner over the water, and since this week a set lunch as well.

Hours and prices change. Check with the venue before you go.
