Take your tastebuds on a journey through exotic lands of spice and fire this Chrismas Eve, by booking a table at Yalla in Santa Gertrudis. When the sun goes down, the grill fires up and diners who are devoted to after-dark feasting will be treated to a mouth-watering menu for just 65€ per person that sets the tone for the holiday season to come. Eat, drink and be merry indeed.

Start with a welcome glass of cava and snack on more-ish rosemary salted roast nuts as you catch up on holiday gossip with friends, then let your table be loaded with dishes to share, including stuffed medjool dates with goat cheese and pistachio; cranberry and pistachio freekeh salad; plus, a selection of dips with zaatar crispbread.

For mains, choose between maple-glazed salmon steak; oven-roasted shoulder of lamb; cauliflower steak on a bed of celeriac, all served with honey and zaatar roasted carrots and parsnips; green bean almondine and caramelised onion potato mash – there’s also a plant-based option available. As always at Yalla, the festive desserts are equally as delicious as the main event, so be sure to save room for the almond and pear tart; rich chocolate cake and rosewater panna cotta. After dinner, sip on fresh Moroccan mint tea or indulge in a traditional Turkish coffee and forget Santa – Yalla will be sending you home with a special Christmas goodie bag.
