Dinner at Stay by Yannick Alleno

on 26 Aug 2026

by Peter Verey

Yannick Alléno is one of the super chefs of our era with 18 Michelin stars around the globe . Having previously dined at his flagship Pavillion in Paris , I would confess that I may like @stay_dubai a touch more .
The dishes are simpler , refined comfort food that is familiar and nostalgic yet interesting .

The menu starts with La Balade - a walk through a forest of vegetables all independently dressed , it’s a fun choose your own adventure beginning and it’s an apt first act... More

Yannick Alléno is one of the super chefs of our era with 18 Michelin stars around the globe . Having previously dined at his flagship Pavillion in Paris , I would confess that I may like @stay_dubai a touch more .
The dishes are simpler , refined comfort food that is familiar and nostalgic yet interesting .

The menu starts with La Balade - a walk through a forest of vegetables all independently dressed , it’s a fun choose your own adventure beginning and it’s an apt first act in a land where Mezze is the norm .

Quenelles of scallop mousse are topped with a disc of brioche and flashed under the salamander , celeriac purée and extraction along with Maison Prunier caviar complete the dish . The scallop mousse is impeccable smooth and luscious but the combination of sweet celeriac extract and the caviar is incredible .

Anelli timbale sees a crown of pasta topped with Parmesan emulsion and buried beneath is a langoustine ragu , a great macaroni and cheese dish to say the least .

Turbot from brittany is paired with Shiso , basil and abundance of citrus . With segments , lemon caviar as well as a citrus sauce , this may be too@much of a good thing .

Loved the Wagyu Mille feuille , layers of Wagyu and mushroom are beautifully charred and that flavour paired with wilted lettuce and beetroot jus is very well matched .

Using local strawberries for the strawberry tart dessert was a nice surprise, topped with Mozzarella ice cream and a basil pesto , this dish ate as great as it looked .

The chocolate finale delivered in richness , a Meyer lemon confit gel and the Moroccan paste Amlou made of almonds and argan oil gave a lovely texture .

This restaurant has been an under the radar mainstay in Dubai , having opened in 2010 . Here’s too many more !! Less
