Christmas is brilliant but what’s the festive season without food?
Living in a multi-cultural city it’s not always a traditional roast that’s on the menu on Christmas Day, either.
That being said, turkey, potatoes, gravy and those lovely trimmings will always be our favourite.
If you’re spending the festive season here in the capital and are making plans to go out for a meal on Christmas Day then there are loads of options to choose from.
Looking to save a little cash on the day? Here are the places in Abu Dhabi to enjoy a festive feast for under Dhs200.
We’re hungry already.
