Where to enjoy THE BEST Christmas Dinner in Bermuda
The Holiday Season is here and you know what that means – amazing food!
I look forward to enjoying Christmas dinner all year. I typically set my menu in October, assign dishes to my mom and sister and then start prepping around now. But honestly, I won’t be cooking this year. There are too many incredible options for having someone else cook christmas dinner for me instead.
I get the vibe that a lot of us don’t want to cook, so I’ve decided to compile a list of the best places to enjoy Christmas dinner this year, similar to my Thanksgiving post. And if you prefer to eat at home, there are plenty of catering options as well.
Whether you want a brunch, a buffet, a plated dinner or a chef-cooked meal in the comfort of your own home, I’ve got you covered.
And as always, I will only recommend restaurants that I happily frequent or order catering from. I would never recommend anything that I wouldn’t buy myself. OK, let’s get into it.
