BiCE

Dubai Marina & Palm Jumeirah


Back in 1930s Milan, Beatrice 'Bice' Ruggeri first opened her trattoria, which evolved into the city's most fashionable by the 1970s. Today Dubai's BiCE carries on the tradition, with chef Davide Gardini adding his creative touch to such classics as fettuccine with lobster and veal tenderloin with foie gras sauce. Nice touch: the olive-oil trolley.

You may want to contemplate a pre or post-dinner tipple at the BiCE Sky Bar on the 9th floor (open 5pm to 2am); cocktails start at Dhs150 – and that includes the view.
