‘Tis the season for indulging and Amalur is where you can dress up in your finest, bask in front of the fireplace and experience a truly magical and sophisticated Christmas meal. Every meal here – whether in a group, on a date or even dining solo – is a celebration making the stylish fine dining destination the perfect place to spend Christmas Eve or Christmas Day… or both! The warm and welcoming interior is decked in sparkling baubles, tinsel and wreaths and features a gorgeous Christmas tree, and the talented chefs have designed a fabulously festive lunch and dinner menu, brimming with Italian-influenced holiday dishes, that’s guaranteed to please discerning foodies.
Pick and mix your courses, starting with classic holiday starters like prawns, langoustines or king prawns, along with the restaurant’s signature seabass toast with caviar, beef tenderloin tartare with foie gras or the melt-in-your-mouth asparagus with poached egg, parmesan fondue and white truffle. In true Italian style, primeros come next, with a selection of riches such as lobster and lemon linguini, a decidedly decadent Champagne and parmesan risotto, and the home-made pappardelle with black and white truffle.
Segundos follow, and the choices include Iberian pork cheek with porcini mushrooms; a succulent Josper-grilled pasture-raised steak with black truffle; Mugnaia sole with hazelnuts, lemon and caviar, or the classic salt-baked sea bass with local vegetables. Be sure to save room for celebratory après-dinner cocktails and dessert, digestifs and petit fours… Christmas at Amalur is an experience that’s designed to be savoured and remembered long after the last bite – la dolce vita natalizia!
