ZEST Live Kitchen Chef Yannick Alléno
Building on techniques honed in the kitchens of
France that won him the highest honours in the
cooking world, STAY by Yannick Alléno is fine
dining at its most playful. TradiConal cooking
methods are married with modern culinary
advancements to create a seasonally evolving
menu of signature dishes and tasCng menus.
From creaCve starters such as ‘LangousCne
flirCng with a crystallised rose’, to the finest
milk-fed lamb maturated for 12 days in a salt
moss cave, the dining experience at STAY
exceeds expectaCons. The dramaCc
monochrome dining room sCcks to a paleNe of
black, bronze and silver – with splashes of rich
burgundy and high Cmbre walls for a touch of
theatre. Baroque black crystal chandeliers
suspended from vaulted ceilings cast a gentle
spotlight on Yannick’s wiNy dishes and highlight
the intenConal lack of stuffiness in service.
InteracCve culinary experiences encourage
guests to immerse themselves further into the
STAY by Yannick Alléno way, be it at the Pastry
Library, where guests assist the Chef De
PaCsserie in creaCng their own desserts, or the
private dining area complete with signature
dishes, pastries and exclusive wine list. Perched
above the Arabian Gulf, 101 Dining Lounge and
Marina is one of Dubai’s most loved alfresco
dining desCnaCons. Serving a refined seafood
menu, the concept takes inspiraCon from the
renowned arCst Damien Hirst’s exhibiCon,
Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable.
Every aspect – from the intricately designed ‘fish
scale’ tableware to an elevated menu of the
finest seafood – celebrates the restaurants
ocean-side locaCon. Fusing age-old cooking
techniques such as smoking, salCng and
fermentaCon, fresh sustainably sourced seafood
is presented in a modern arCsCc style. Designed
to deliver more than what it first appears, dishes
are not what they seem, revealing hidden
depths of flavour or inspired bursts of texture
inviCng diners to dive into the deep. Adjacent to
the resorts private marina, the overwater
terrace boasts gliNering views over the city
skyline. Accessible by yacht or jeNy from
One&Only The Palm, the chic lounge opens out
to sprawling overwater seaCng. At night and on
weekends, the resident DJ and live
entertainment brings a vibrant life and energy as
the tempo shims from day to night.
The Lounge provides a comforCng sanctuary for
Amernoon Tea, light snacks and refreshments in
the Manor House. , while 24-hour in-room
dining provides guests with the perfect reason
to linger a liNle longer within the comfortable
privacy of their guest room or suite. For those

takes diners to sister property One&Only Royal
Mirage where eight excepConal restaurants
