Why slave away at the kitchen this Christmas with so many festive dine-out options available? Here are our top picks of the best Christmas Day meals in town.
La Rambla
ifc’s newest Catalan restaurant, with its stunning view of Victoria Harbour, is currently a hidden gem on the third floor, tucked away unassumingly by Lane Crawford. However, once you get past the subtly gilded entrance, the place opens up to a vast space and terrace flooded with natural light. On 24 and 25 December, the Spanish establishment lays out an elaborate spread of Iberian favourites for its Christmas Brunch Buffet. The affair is hosted by none other than Father Christmas, featuring the famous Segovian suckling pig, paellas, tapas and a wide selection of oysters from France, Spain, Ireland and the US. Pastry Chef Valerie Zuniga outdoes herself on the dessert section, so save room for that. Children under 3 eat for free; for 3 to 9 years old, it’s HK$320 a head; adults are HK$780 plus HK$320 for free flow options of red wine and champagne.

&nbsp;Olé
&nbsp;The months running from November to February mark hunting season in Spain, and in many a pastoral home, it wouldn’t be uncommon to find heart-warming dishes of venison, wild boar, red dear and pheasant. From now until 28 February 2018, Olé – Hong Kong’s most established Spanish restaurant now on its 19th year – presents a winter menu celebrating the rustic cooking associated with the season. Its themed dishes include the rich Red Deer Hunters Stew (HK$280), the shredded Wild Boar “Civet” Raviolis (HK$260) and hefty Wild Duck “Challandaise” Breast with Sweet Potato, Figs &amp; Port Wine Reduction (HK$360). The menu’s meats have been personally secured by Spanish Executive Chef Jesus Pascual, hence the opportunity to try dishes like Wild Pheasant with Truffle (HK$390) and Quail Legs Stew (HK$180) – they’re sure to warm you up on a cold day.

Amber
Voted one of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants, French fine dining restaurant Amber serves a memorable meal every time. But two Michelin-starred chef Richard Ekkebus is going one step further for Christmas, foregoing traditional courses like turkey and ham in his quest to push the boundaries of gastronomic innovation. Diverging from his usual repertoire, Ekkebus has introduced strong Asian flavours for the five-course affair. Case in point, his main course – Challans Female Duck brushed with hyuganatsu marmalade, Japanese whiskey and miso. While the menu may not suit those looking for a generic Christmas dining experience, it promises to be a true treat for epicurean adventurers. Amber’s five-course Christmas Day lunch menu is HK$1,388 per person.
