DENNY’S
ABU DHABI MALL
Serving up serious American diner feels 24 hours a day, Denny’s has dialed up the dinner options this festive season!

Vegetarians can get in on the festive action too - the festive veggie melt is overflowing with seasonal flavours and topped off with cranberry sauce!

FAMOUS DAVE'S
ABU DHABI MALL
This BBQ and steakhouse is giving serious Christmas-around-the-world energy with their festive menu! Some warming roasted chestnut soup, served with brie and cranberry toast followed by a smoked turkey baguette? Or perhaps you want to mix it up with smoked turkey tacos or a smoked turkey wrap? If Santa was eating his way around the globe, mid-deliveries, we think this offering would nail it.
The show stopper? Order an oak smoked turkey feast - served with a range of sides, it’s good to share between 6-8 people. You can feed your family and skip the cooking, or order for a perfect festive office lunch!
Availability: ongoing until 26th December
Pricing: from AED28-58 for special menu items | oak smoked turkey feast AED485, with half and quarter serves also available

LA BRIOCHE
ABU DHABI MALL
If Santa’s workshop was in the business of decorating cakes, we imagine they’d look something like the fun creations before us: think red and green, festive motifs and plenty of embellishments. The yuletide logs are carefully carved, and will make a great centrepiece for your festive table - we have our eye on the bold pistachio and cherry number.
The catering options here are especially clever - multiple menus are available for 4-10 people at varying price points, and include anything from turkey or chicken to soup and cranberry bread rolls.
