Mistletoe and holly are signature to Christmas. Yet nothing screams X-mas quite like split roasts, turkey with cranberry sauce and rum laced desserts.

Well, Pune just got lucky with our city restaurants bringing in this Christmas cheer onto your plates with much gusto!

Truly Christmas, Truly Droolicious ! 

5 Spice Pork Belly

This spectacular appetiser is unique to this holiday season. The crisp crackling of the perfectly roasted pork belly just hits the spot when it is pre-marinated in a special five spice rub. Ditch the turkey and welcome this roast at this X-mas.

Where: The Flour Works, (Kalyani Nagar, NIBM)

A Creamy Custard-Based Eggnog

This holiday weekend, try a dash of liquor making your beverage of choice the dark chocolate eggnog at Street Meat. The humble eggnog is a Belgian inspired custard-based drink made of milk, cream, eggs and sugar. Spiced with nutmeg and of course- rum and a dash of whiskey. This drink is a sure-fire way to combat a nip in the air.

Where: Street Meats, (Koregaon Park)

Christmas Chicken Salad With Parma Ham

Dig into a splendid Chicken and ham salad from the Sunday brunch menu at the Eye Club. Their live BBQs are worth a try but the special interactive salad counters steal the show. Bingeing on salad greens was never so delicious.

Where: The Eye Club Resto Lounge & Bar, (Hotel Hindusthan International, Viman Nagar)

Rosemary Grilled Chicken with Red Wine Jus

A hint of rosemary with a bird grilled to perfection, this dish is elevated with a delectable red wine jus. Served with a side of mashed potatoes and sauteed veggies, this is the perfect order to sate your roast chicken cravings on a wintry evening.

Where: Baraza Bars & Bites, (Yerawada)


Rum Soak Plum Panna Cotta

Essentially an Italian dessert, this one is a must try come Christmas. Made from rum soaked plums this special plum compote brings a burst of flavour to the light panna cotta.

It is the perfect finish to a supper that compels you to sport trousers with an elastic (think stretchable) waistband.

Where: Sara Soda, (NIBM)
