Christmas Eve Dinner
Le Fond
Chef Jake Eberle is preparing a Christmas Eve special feast fit for the fanciest festivities.

Items are available a la carte or as an optional $65 three course prix fixe; add wine pairings for $29. Call 718-389-6859 or email contact@lefondbk.com for reservations.
Esme
With creative cuisine and cocktails, Esme makes for an delicious Holiday meal in a modern vintage setting. Most dishes are $30 and under, and everything is handmade (including the veggie burger, yum!). It’s both kid-friendly and cozy enough for a date. So put on that Christmas sweater, book a table, and get your egg nog served to you before the big day. But I’d do it fast, as reservations are filling up quickly!
Christmas Day Dinner
Reynard
Reynard, located on the first floor of The Wythe Hotel, will be hosting a prix fixe 4 course dinner that is not to be missed. Dishes such as roasted rib of beef with horseradish kefir and duck liver toast on pumpkin crostini are on the menu, which finishes with a festive Bûche de Noël for dessert. With their serving hours from noon to 8pm, you’ve got a time to fit this meal in between opening presents. The Reynard’s special Holiday meals book up quickly, so if you’re interested, it’s best to make the reservation ASAP.
Zona Rosa
Carry on your Holiday spirit and say Feliz Navidad at Zona Rosa in Williamsburg. Open for both brunch and dinner, you’ll be bright and festive in their eclectic decor. Their drink menu includes and Warm fruit punch, Mexican hot chocolate and Santa’s favorite: Watermelon Margaritas! And to go with those festive drinks, they’ve got tacos, enchiladas verdes and hot organic tortilla soup. Put some heat in your Holiday and make a reservation.
Amami
If you need a Christmas meal with vegetarian options, Amami, bordering McCarren park, is a great option. Highly recommended, their menu features dishes such as vegetarian miso & tonkatsu Ramen, Short Rib “Gyudon”, and tofu teriyaki. With brick walls, polished concrete floors, and tables and the bar fashioned from reclaimed wood from manufacturer From The Source in Brooklyn, it’s a stylish way to celebrate Christmas day.
