Traditionally, Christmas and New Year are celebrated at home. Unfortunately, this involves a lot of preparation, work and stress on top of the already stressful gift shopping. So it’s understandable that many people avoid the crowded supermarkets, the hours spent behind the cooker and the washing up and opt for a relaxed Christmas or New Year treat at a restaurant.
If you also want to take a more relaxed approach to the festive season this year, here are our suggestions for the best places to eat out. But remember to make a reservation in good time! Places are limited and highly coveted:
