Discover some of One&Only Resorts' top restaurants...

One&Only Resorts is renowned for its intricately crafted escapes, and the dining opportunities are no different. Each individual haven is home to top restaurants, being led by acclaimed chefs and producing elite gastronomic experiences.

Whether you're craving Michelin-star magic, innovative fusion dishes or authentic artistry with flair, One&Only go beyond meals and into immersive experiences. Retiring the trope of 'resort food' and awakening your senses to the extraordinary, here are just a few of One&Only Resort's best restaurants.

One&Only Royal Mirage

Celebrities: A Celebration of Nature

At One&Only Royal Mirage, The Palace, three-Michelin-starred Chef Mauro Colagreco invites you to experience the gastronomic power of nature by drawing inspiration from the very soil that nourishes his creations.

Vegetables are at the heart of each plate, a testament to the chef's artistry and deep respect for nature's bounty, highlighting the vibrancy of fresh, seasonal produce. In doing so, this modern menu takes you through the changing seasons as you dine. And in the spirit of a culinary journey, all organic waste is returned to the soil so that this homage to produce continues on.

For an even more intimate encounter with this culinary masterpiece, this 'Garden to Table' menu is available to book in the private dining room.

One&Only Mandarina

Carao

At the helm of One&Only Mandarina's Carao is the globally acclaimed celebrity chef Enrique Olvera. With a vision to infuse every meal with an essence of Mexico, Enrique's innovative menu brings you closer to your destination with a sensorial journey.

Inspired by the traditional Mexican thatched roof Palapa, Chef Enrique weaves a story and ambience that reflects the resort's local surroundings. The true charm of this dining experience lies in the artful reinvention of tradition through experimental culinary techniques. Guests are gifted a captivating taste of old transformed into new, and left with a new-found connection with the destination.

Carao is a celebration of not only food, but the destination of Mandarina

One&Only Aesthesis

Ora by Ettore Botrini

Ora is Mediterranean in its soul, character and servings. While its laid-back atmosphere and familiar feeling from classic flavours welcome all diners, this is an elevated and imaginative experience by Ettore Bortini that is unique to Ora.

The name itself provides insight into the sun-kissed pairing that infuses the restaurant, translating to 'hour' in Greek and 'now' in Italian. Celebrating the Michelin-star chef's Greek-Italian heritage, the menus of Ora at One&Only Aesthesis are, at their core, treasured family recipes that tell stories of Ettore's childhood.

From breakfasts brimming with fruits and pastries to seasonally changing evening experiences, every meal at this all-day dining restaurant marries comfort and tradition with contemporary flair.

Botanica

Responsible dining has never looked so good! Botanica is One&Only Reethi Rah's enchanting 'garden to table' experience, shrouded by Banyan trees and lit by flickering candlelight.

The focus here is all about what's good for the soul. Embracing nature as both its setting and menu inspiration, Botanica serves up dishes that are bursting with freshness. Designed by globally celebrated chef Matthew Kenney in his innovative, plant-based approach, the seasonal menus at Botanica feature fresh, local ingredients, many of which come from the Chef's Garden that brings life to fragrant herbs and aromatic herbs.

We are using local ingredients and have created a menu that pays homage to the traditional cuisine of the Maldives. While we have included some of our classics, almost all of the menu is unique to this location
