As the year draws to a close, it’s time for us to gear up for plenty of merrymaking. Whilst Christmas gatherings might take a different spin this year due to social distancing measures, the Yuletide spirit – where you gather around with your loved ones to dig into a meal extravaganza – still remains. After all, the highlight of festive gatherings is having a joyous meal over hours of laughter and conversation with magical merriment sparkling in the air. With Christmas just mere weeks away, these gastronomic spots around the island that are offering up lavish festive feast options will surely add on to the holiday cheer. We recommend you call ahead and save a seat – we can’t guarantee that your roasted turkey and glazed ham will be there on Christmas otherwise.
