It’s so close to Christmas that we could just smell it; the scent of roast meats, mulled wine, and the comfort of family. While this year’s Christmas Eve dinner might be a smaller affair than we’re used to, that doesn’t mean it can’t be just as grand. Check out these seven places for some truly yummy festive feasting in Singapore.

This institution started as a Park Avenue establishment in New York City over 15 years ago, and has now grown to a 19-strong global brand serving up outstanding dry-aged steak all around the world. Their Christmas Set Menu (S$188++ per pax) foregrounds roast meats like the USDA Prime Porterhouse Steak and Honey Baked Ham, accompanied by hearty sides like Pumpkin Mashed Potato and Vicky-Style Carrots. Tipplers will also enjoy their selection of themed cocktails like the refreshing Ginger Mule — think a gingery bubbly — and Santa’s Cane, a peppermint and cream concoction.
