Jumeirah Fishing Harbour Opens New Ice Cream Shop, Launches Summer Deals
The waterfront neighbourhood gains a fresh gathering point as Sicream opens alongside established spots, while city-wide deals encourage repeat visits during the peak summer period.
How we reported this
Sicream, a new ice cream concept at Jumeirah Fishing Harbour, opened recently from the team behind Brix Journey, with pastry chef Carmen Rueda Hernandez creating more than 15 natural flavours for visitors seeking a casual treat by the water.
Harbour neighbourhood draws day-long crowds
Jumeirah Fishing Harbour already supports a relaxed community rhythm through lunch at 3Fils and coffee at Brix Cafe, allowing residents to combine a visit with the new ice cream option and extend time outdoors without leaving the area. The combination creates an easy loop for families and groups who return on weekends to mix sweet and savoury stops in one location.
Friday classic and city-wide deals strengthen local routines
The Spaniel adds to the pattern by serving its special steak frites menu every Friday, giving regulars a predictable weekend meal that fits the harbour's laid-back character. Dubai's Summer Restaurant Week runs from 13 July to 2 August 2026 and lists two-course lunches for Dhs80 and three-course dinners for Dhs120 at participating venues, providing an affordable way for the same neighbourhoods to keep dining out through the hotter months.
These options sit within a setting already known for easy transitions between morning coffee, midday meals and evening desserts, reinforcing the harbour's role as a steady community anchor rather than a one-off destination. Residents can plan a full day by the water without multiple bookings or long travel times.
Bookings for the restaurant week menus are handled directly through participating venues, while the harbour spots operate on standard hours that align with typical local schedules. The setup keeps the focus on repeat visits and simple planning for anyone wanting to stay close to home during the summer stretch.
