The Festive Guide to the Best Pre-Christmas Dining

We answer the call of three wise men seeking a festive feast for their pre-Christmas get-together with restaurants bearing gifts of great dining offers, tipples and treats.

The Luxury Restaurant Guide publishes some of the best festive dining offers available pre-Christmas. These destination restaurants have unveiled their festive set and a la carte menu options for 2018, so you can delve into Christmas feasting with some ingenious, novel and classic winter fayre. And if all this isn’t magic enough, it is infused with that extra sparkle (and some restaurants with gold, frankincense and myrrh) especially for Luxury Restaurant Club members.
