There’s a certain cachet to arriving to dinner by boat that amplifies the wow factor on a Saturday night in Dubai – an impressive feat for a city that appears to have it all. Situated over the water at ultra-luxury resort, One&Only The Palm, 101 Dining Lounge & Marina is gearing up for patio season as the cooler temperatures begin to breeze in.
Evoking Riviera glamour at the water’s edge, three Michelin-star chef, Yannick Alléno, oversees the restaurant’s gourmet creations and spirited dining experience. Renowned for his passion to create, innovate, taste and play with ingredients, dishes are served as culinary works of art. Offering a refined seafood menu, the restaurant’s character is inspired by Damien Hirst’s exhibition, Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable. Every facet – from the intricately designed fish scale tableware to the elevated menu of the finest seafood – celebrates the exquisite oceanside location. Fusing age-old cooking techniques such as smoking, salting and fermentation, fresh, sustainably sourced seafood is presented in a contemporary artistic fashion.
Those that wish to take special occasions to new heights should book the one-of-a-kind private dining area, an intimate space enclosed by coral-inspired walls featuring customisable lighting and a mesmerising LED floor, offering a truly unique experience that pays homage to the restaurant’s modern vision.
