Bice Mare Restaurant
Abu Dhabi
At a glance
Bice Mare Restaurant is an Italian seafood venue in Souk Al Bahar, the traditional-style retail and dining destination beside Burj Khalifa in Downtown Dubai. The restaurant combines an upscale dining setting with views towards Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Fountain, giving meals a distinctly Dubai backdrop.
The menu focuses on seafood prepared with an Italian sensibility, alongside familiar Italian classics. The kitchen places emphasis on fresh ingredients, careful preparation and balanced flavours, with dishes designed to reflect both the simplicity and character of Italian cooking. Seafood is central to the restaurant’s identity, while the broader menu gives diners options beyond fish and shellfish.
Bice Mare suits diners looking for a polished restaurant experience in a landmark setting. The atmosphere works for an evening meal, a special occasion or a relaxed gathering where the surroundings are part of the appeal. The combination of Italian food, seafood and views across Downtown Dubai creates a setting that feels more refined than casual, without separating the dining experience from the energy of the district.
Souk Al Bahar provides a convenient base for combining dinner with time around the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Fountain. Its location makes Bice Mare a practical choice for visitors already exploring Downtown Dubai, as well as diners travelling in from elsewhere in the emirate. It can also suit visitors coming from Abu Dhabi for an evening in Dubai, particularly when a restaurant near the district’s major attractions is preferred.
The restaurant’s character is shaped by its attention to flavour and presentation rather than by a single signature dish. Seafood-led Italian cooking remains the main draw, with the menu offering a balance between fresh produce and established Italian recipes. The setting adds a visual element to the meal, especially when the Burj Khalifa and fountain are active around the restaurant.
Reservations are available through the restaurant, and advance planning is sensible for diners with particular seating requests, larger parties or a preferred time. Bice Mare offers a considered Downtown Dubai dining option for seafood lovers, Italian food enthusiasts and anyone seeking a restaurant experience closely connected to Souk Al Bahar’s landmark location.
