Dubai is a city that knows how to celebrate, and during the holiday season, its restaurants turn into winter wonderlands. From enchanting outdoor displays to glittering interiors, here are some of Dubai’s most festive restaurants this Christmas.

Chalet 105

The seasonal Chalet 105 pop-up has returned to Twiggy by La Cantine. It is found in one of the venue’s large cabanas, which has been converted into a chic winter cabin decorated with skis, candles, a faux fireplace and stacks of logs. The transformation into an alpine escape is impressive. The quaint and charming interiors feature a roaring fireplace, cow skin rugs and slatted wooden walls with mountain vistas traced upon the windows. Statement Montblanc watches and pens are housed in glass cases, while the menu offers charcuterie platters, fondue Savoyarde and raclette.
