Get Taken On A Whirlwind Journey Through The European Seas With Shellebration
Europe has some of the finest seafood in the world, and now is the perfect time to sample it all with the beautiful Pierchic’s Shellebration.
Situated at the end of the pier at the esteemed Al Qasr Hotel with captivating views across the Arabian Gulf, this internationally acclaimed restaurant made waves across Dubai last year as the Emirates’ leading seafood festival, and it’s back and better than ever this year.
