Michelin-starred chef Yannick Alléno recently collaborated with One&Only The Palm to develop three distinct dining concepts – ZEST, STAY by Yannick Alléno and 101. Celebrated for his role as head chef of Le Meurice in Paris, Alléno wishes to indulge guests with an array of both local and international cuisine to complement the understated elegance of this boutique beach resort.
Coined "le prince des palais," by his peers, Alléno entered the elite circle of the world's greatest chefs after receiving his third Michelin star in 2007 and "Chef of the Year" in 2008 for his role as head chef of Le Meurice. At One&Only The Palm, Alléno will offer a unique array of dining experiences designed to provide a distinct mood and ambience paired with innovative haute-cuisine. From romantic evening celebrations at STAY by Yannick Alléno and casual gatherings with family and friends at ZEST to party goers at 101 by the marina - the restaurants are destinations unto themselves.
