Brunches, Dinners and More To Help Fight your Inner Grinch This Christmas

Avatar

Christmas is upon us, and while many don’t celebrate the holiday in its pure form, one cannot help but be drawn to the addictive seasonal vibes. Of course, spending Christmas at home, watching the ultimate Christmas movie, the Grinch (just kidding, it’s obviously Die Hard), under a cozy blanket and armed with some delightfully silky cup of hot chocolate sounds like a good time. We however, can’t leave the extroverts with no options, therefore, it is up to us, your true love to give you 12 things to do this Christmas in Doha.

12. Sharing Platters at the Surr

Christmas is all about sharing, so grab yourself a couple of friends and head over to the Surry, where you can share platters, chat and have an overall jolly time! (Bonus points if it’s fried food)

9. Holiday Tea Delight at Banana Island Resort

Fancy an afternoon tea? How about an afternoon tea accompanied by delightful English and Italian treats? To seal the deal, what if you had said tea overlooking the gorgeous landscape that Banana Island is well known for? We’d say: Sold, take our money, and take it now.

6. Banana Island Resort’s Winter Eve Dinner

Okay, listen, not everyone is into the markets, games, and activities. It’s the end of the year, and sometimes one just wants to celebrate a well-done year with a classy dinner. Head on over to Riva Gardens for a classy, 7 course dinner for a well-deserved reward.

5. Il Galante Doha

You know what makes us feel all nice and warm on the inside? (Albeit the benefit of living in Qatar is that you’re warm year-round) Italian food, Italian food is an old friend you seek out when you’re in a mood of something tasty and comforting, and that’s why it’s perfect for the season. Even better, Il Galante has a working kids area, so you won’t have to worry about your little ones not being occupied.

4. The Thai Kitchen by Centara

If you’re non-traditional with your Christmas dinners, or just a regular Asian food connoisseur, the Thai Kitchen is the way to go. Enjoy your own take on the holidays by indulging in some flavor-first, sweat later delicacies that will take you to an entirely different world (literally). After all, everyone loves a good culinary adventure!

3. Dalchini Spice by Shefford

If you’re both an adventurous eater (with a high spice tolerance) and you like surprises, head on over to Dalchini Spice. While they may be keeping their holiday plans under wrap, they are yet to disappoint any of us. It’s a win-win, enjoy something different food-wise and the serotonin spike (that we all need after a long work week) of being surprised.

2. The Big Christmas Dinner by Dusit Thai

If you’re also addict to Christmas Movies, this is what you want to be. Imagine with us, big ballroom, gorgeous terrace, Christmas lights and decorations galore, the smell of their carefully curated menu of comfort foods wafting through the air. Salivating yet? We sure are.

1.Bannana Island Winter Market

Not into the food scene? We’ve got you. If you’ve watched any Christmas rom-com (literally any one) and you dream of that one moment where the two main characters bump into each other at the market, this is your chance to have your own meet-cute.
