God rest ye merry gentlemen and women! The holidays are here, and just because many of our Beijing brethren are flying out of town (on a sleigh?) to celebrate the holidays elsewhere, doesn’t mean there aren’t totally worthy festive options right here. We’ve put together a list of the best Christmastime dinners. Drink and be merry.Christmas Eve Dinner at MostoMosto’s new chef Juan Mateus is leading the Nali Patio stalwart in bold, new directions. But that doesn’t mean he can’t do this within the confines of a perfectly festive Christmas meal. Mateus will be cooking a creative four-course meal including prawn bisque, foie gras, beef tenderloin… good stuff, you get the idea. Expect a marriage of innovation and tradition.Price: RMB398 per personTime: 6-10pmChristmas Eve Dinner at MigasIf you’d like to dine somewhere you can party afterwards, Migas is the spot for you. Enjoy a menu that includes Iberico pork tataki, slow-cooked eggs with crispy octopus, Barcelona-style seafood casserole and a Flaming Alaska to finish it all off. Oh, and foie gras – because that appears to be a requirement at all these Christmas dinner things.Price: RMB388 per personTime: Dec 24Christmas Dinner at ModernistaMore of a Gulou person? No problem. Modernista’s restaurant is arguably the best culinary happening to hit hutong weasels all year. Its five-course Christmas menu includes Icelandic scampi, quail, Christmas roast beef and, of course, foie gras.Time: Dec 24-26, Dec 31 and Jan 1Price: RMB320 per person (add RMB160 for free-flow prosecco)Christmas Eve at Bistrot BIf all that still isn’t lavish enough for you, Bistrot B’s got you covered.

Book in advance.Time: Dec 24, 5.30-10.30pm;Price: RMB 800 per person (RMB1100 with wine) plus 15 percent service chargeChristmas Eve Dinner at Capital MThere are many reasons why Capital M should be at the top o’ your list this Christmas, but one stands above the rest: their turkey. We got to sample the bird, stuffed with kumquats and pistachios, but on Christmas Eve, Capital M’s ballotine of Turkey will also be stuffed with Christmas ham. Be hungry.Time: Dec 24;Price: RMB588 plus 10-percent service feeChristmas Dinner at GLB #45Fancy a craft brew with your holiday meal?
