This Christmas, Zenon Dubai, the city’s most imaginative Mediterranean-Asian dining destination, invites guests to immerse themselves in “A Winter Reverie”
This Christmas, Zenon Dubai, the city’s most imaginative Mediterranean-Asian dining destination, invites guests to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year through “A Winter Reverie” — a festive experience where winter elegance meets celestial light.
The entertainment will begin at 9 PM on Christmas Eve (December 24), with acclaimed opera and musical performer Joseph Terterian, accompanied by TOI, filling the air with timeless melodies and festive grandeur. The celebration continues on Christmas Day (December 25), also starting at 9 PM, with Julia & Awestyne delivering a captivating blend of soulful festive classics — setting the perfect rhythm for an evening of joy, connection, and celebration.
Available from December 24 (from 12 PM) through January 7, Zenon will offer a limited-edition à la carte festive menu by Head Chef Thomas Papas, crafted as a reflection of culinary artistry and the warmth of shared moments. Dishes like Beef Carpaccio with king oyster mushrooms and caramelised hazelnuts, Smoked Duck Breast with Jerusalem artichoke cream and orange-spice sauce, and Venison Medallion with parsnip purée and roasted chestnuts capture the comfort and sophistication of the season. For a true showstopper, the Whole Chicken stuffed with Foie Gras and Truffle, infused with mountain herbs and chanterelle jus, embodies festive indulgence — while the Mont Blanc Chestnut Frangipane provides a poetic finale with salted caramel mousse, coffee crémeux, and forest-fruit sorbet.
Zenon’s signature innovation shines through not only in flavour but in experience. As pioneers in AI-driven entertainment, the restaurant brings the celebration to life with interactive holographic storytelling and personalised visual projections that respond to guest movement — turning every dinner into a living work of art.
Complementing the feast is Zenon’s international wine collection, featuring more than 200 labels curated by expert sommeliers. From elegant Old-World vintages to biodynamic discoveries, each bottle has been chosen to enhance the festive experience and elevate every dish.
