Festive Set Menus to Do in Dubai : December 2024

It’s December – your tree is up (and it has been, for the last three months?), and you’re in the proper festive mood. You’re wondering – where can I go for a festive sit-down meal with friends and family? By now, all restaurants and hotels would be properly decked out for the season, isn’t it? 🙂 And lucky for us – these three venues have set menus so you can sit back and relax, have a bite and drink with your loved ones.

Dubai resident. Stays most of the time in the marina as she can't be bothered going anywhere else after work and in the weekends. Originally from the land of the orang utans, spent the latter half of her life in the land down under. Always on the look out for deals, loves organising get-togethers, and occasionally steals some time for a sip of wine or four at ladies nights.
