Handpicked by a Marbella Local Expert, we bring you our guide to 'Venues offering an alternative to Christmas Day Dinner'.
Whilst many people may be die-hard fans of the traditional Christmas dinner of Roast Turkey and all the trimmings there are of course some that would prefer an alternative. With the 25th of December being a National Holiday not everywhere is open but these venues are and will be serving either their normal a la carte menu or a set menu minus the Turkey!
You can make your enquiries directly with each venue from their page and if they are offering a special set menu then we will feature it in their events section. Have a wonderful day and be sure to let the restaurant know you heard about them here first :-)
