It’s Christmas Time in the Capital City

• Christmas will be on the menu of multiple dining experiences at Four Seasons Hotel Abu Dhabi. Al Meylas will get the celebration started with Festive Afternoon Tea serving delights both savoury and sweet, available daily from 3:00 to 7:00 pm starting on December 8, 2023. 
  
• Jingle in the season with Christmas Eve at Café Milano, decorated for the occasion and serving a traditional Feast of Seven Fishes served à la carte, from warm lobster salad with a garden of vegetables and stracciatella cheese, to roasted monkfish fillet with cannellini all’uccelletto – or “to the little bird.” Café Milano will also hit the spot with Christmas Brunch, offering a menu of fortifying Italian specialties from roasted octopus to house-made mezze maniche pasta.
• Enjoy a jolly holiday at Butcher & Still, as the Hotel’s retro Chicago-style steakhouse kicks off Christmas Eve with a special à la carte menu created just for the occasion. The menu includes orange glazed turkey roulade accompanied by traditional sides from maple dressing to baked rusty sweet potato. Save room for pecan pie with salted caramel sauce and cinnamon nutmeg drizzle that is as tasty as it sounds. And be sure to return for Christmas Brunch with everything from Dibba Bay oysters with shallot mignonette to barbequed dry rub striploin to reinvigorate guests for the day.
• Always an Abu Dhabi favourite, Crust will host Christmas Day Brunch featuring a family-friendly international menu as long as Al Maryah Island. Served buffet-style, the spread will offer nearly three dozen desserts, a Kid’s Menu to charm even the pickiest palates, and a range of drink packages including one for Champagne. Can’t get enough of Crust? Do it all again with a special New Year’s Eve Evening Brunch before the calendar flips to 2024.

See Everyone in 2024

Expect every dining spot at the Hotel to be festooned with customized New Year’s Eve flair and ready to keep things exciting right up until midnight with superb dining as well as party favours, bubbly, music and more.

• New Year’s Eve at Café Milano will be a reveller’s dream, serving up a sumptuous five-course set menu of beautifully crafted Italian specialties, with everything from marinated grouper carpaccio to duo of wagyu beef. Wine and Champagne will be ready to flow, and a live band will be keeping time until the clock strikes 12:00 midnight – and beyond.
• Let the Times Square Ball drop as the world watches in New York City. Chicago has its own New Year’s Eve traditions, as does the Hotel’s popular 1920s-style Chicago steakhouse Butcher & Still. Tuck into prime cuts of American beef, sip tasty cocktails such as Prohibition Punch mixed with Elijah Craig bourbon, and groove to a DJ as midnight approaches.
• Have a blast watching the fireworks over the Arabian Gulf with a waterside perch at Eclipse. The Hotel’s vibrant terrace lounge will be jumpin’ on New Year’s Eve with a four-course set menu of healthful dishes from roasted pumpkin soup to pan-seared sea bass. Expect a smashing setting for sipping cocktails to the beats of a DJ alongside the infinity pool.
• Al Meylas will celebrate New Year’s Eve with a creative four-course set menu featuring a healthy starter and soup plus choice of pan-seared sea bass with trio sauce (asparagus, squid ink and saffron veloute) and risotto pomodoro for mains.
• Zsa Zsa will be a hotspot through the evening, as dazzling as its namesake, serving creative small plates from fish tacos Baja style to wagyu beef sliders, and great cocktails to sip along.
