the sunshine, thank you. And for Dubai-

New Year, there is no shortage of exciting
ways to spend the festive season at The
Ritz-Carlton, DIFC.

occasions to “let me have just one more bite
of that cake pop”, this plush property has
crafted a range of festive events – everything
you’ll need to enjoy a memorable and
magical holiday period this year.

2015 - is not to be missed. This day of
decadence is available from December
16th until Christmas Eve with chocolate
cake pops, pralines and desserts served
alongside coffee and tea, guaranteed to
satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth.
Once the holiday season is truly upon
us, gather with friends and family at
Café Belge for the Traditional Belgian
Christmas Eve (December 24th). Expert
bakers and culinary artists will be
whipping up their original interpretation of
the traditional Bûche de Noël (Christmas
Log), filled with rich hazelnut praline and
Speculoos gingerbread, to really add to
the magic the night before Christmas.

fuss, The Ritz-Carlton can provide your
entire festive meal with a masterfully
prepared menu including appetizers,
roast turkey or Angus strip loin with all
the trimmings and a wide variety of
delectable desserts, available upon

packages include Holiday Dining at
Center Cut Steak House. Center Cut’s
elegant four-course spread delivers all
the fare required for an unforgettable
festive meal - from slow cooked duck
breast with chestnuts and cherry bigarade
to warm fruit mine pie with eggnog
and caramelized pecans. Center Cut’s
Christmas and Boxing Day Brunches
provide additional festive touches to the
day with seasonal décor; live musical
entertainment and rumours that Father
Christmas himself may even drop by. End
