101 Dining Lounge's Luxury Seaside Dining in Dubai

The 101 Dining Lounge and Marina inside Dubai's One&Only The Palm takes waterfront dining to awesome-but-realistic heights. It’s not just the view along the marina — the setting inside is just as impressive. With a floor that "mimics the waves and hosts a live piano performance", the venue is also as much an architectural statement.

The 101 Dining Lounge in Outline

The 101 Dining Lounge and Marina elevates the fine dining experience by blending inland and outdoor seating, Mediterranean dishes and crafted cocktails. You can enjoy a meal from Yannick Alléno while you take in the idyllic ambiance of the Dubai marina. Key features of 101 Mirabelle and Marina:

1. Architectural detail: The airy structure features a reflective floor mimicking water, plus striking arches and recurring circular motifs.
2. Ambience: You’re greeted with live piano music, fresh flowers, and glassware.
3. Kickback seating: Both indoor and outdoor seating at the marina.
4. Order and aromas: Chef Alléno’s Mediterranean dishes and signature cocktails. The 101 Dining Lounge distinguishes itself with the city’s most dramatic waterfront views, along with live piano performances, and where Chef Yannick Alléno’s Mediterranean specialties are peppered.

Dining on the Edge

The 101 Dining Lounge and Marina gives the world an updated model for waterfront dining. While fine dining is by no means unique to Dubai, 101 Lounge offers a modern twist on the traditional restaurant experience.

The Sights and Serenity

Yannick Alléno’s Signature Mediterranean Fare

Chef Yannick Alléno is one of France’s most celebrated chefs and has earned three Michelin stars. His serious culinary training: The Westin Paris - Vendôme, Le Meurice, and Le Parccage Royal des Vosges. Some of his famous work has even got him consulted on other chefs’ own restaurants, including the Monaco Casino. Fine dining is Alléno’s strong suit, but at the 101 Dining Lounge and Marina, his Mediterranean cuisine stands out.

Design and Themes

Instead of dining on a typical lakeside patio for a meal, 101 guests sit on a wave-like floor reflecting the marina, and from there take in the views. The interior’s most significant feature may well be its organic structure, with arches and circular motifs, and a live piano performance moving through the space. Seasonal flowers and fresh glassware that can be seen in the visualization data, complete the design.

The Venue

Michael Issa, CEO of the One&Only hotel chain, has been a key player in Dubai's advancement into a luxury travel hub. Issa’s hotel chain is home to one of Dubai’s most famous nightlife destinations, The Bunker, and the top progressive cuisine in the city. The One & Only the Palm — alongside 101 Mirabelle and Marina — is a marquee tourist destination. It’s no surprise that the hotel chain's signature venue is in the hands of celebrated French chef Yannick Alléno — and it’s clear that the chef’s Mediterranean cuisine is a real draw.

The 101 Dining Lounge & Marina's Spectacular Marina Seating

One of the key draws of the 101 Dining Lounge and Marina is its waterfront location. The marina seating provides panoramic views of the marina at One&Only The Palm. The experience of dining while looking out into the marina itself becomes an extension of the fine dining experience.

Dubai in the Mood

The 101 Dining Lounge and Marina tells you precisely how luxurious a meal can be. You are getting the live piano, the views, and Chef Yannick Alléno’s Mediterranean cuisine. Chef Yannick Alléno himself describes 101 Dining Lounge and Marina as “a temple of epicurean pleasure”. Dubai’s 101 Dining Lounge and Marina hits a perfect dining experience: Chef Yannick Alléno’s signature Mediterranean cuisine, the marina’s picturesque views, and a live piano performance.
