Michelin-starred chef Yannick Alleno has launched three restaurants on The Palm Jumeirah, Dubai at the new One&Only beach resort.
Celebrated for his role as head chef at Le Meurice in Paris, Alleno collaborated with One&Only to offer a unique array of dining experiences at the outlets called Zest, Stay by Yanick Alleno and 101.
Alleno said: “It was a natural decision to partner with One&Only The Palm as it echoes the same quality and exigency I have in culinary and food creation”.
