Last minute Christmas Eve dinner reservations

Get into the Christmas spirit — and out of the stress of finding or cooking a Christmas meal — by letting a restaurant take the strain.

You might think it's too late and there's no room.

But if you have left it until now to organise something for friends or just a table for two on Christmas Eve (or the day itself), here's a list of some restaurants which, at time of writing, might still have space to pencil you in for some festive feasting.

FOR MEDITERRANEAN GASTRONOMY

The Knolls

The Knolls have put together four and five-course dinner menu offerings. Couple it with their seafront setting and things definitely look promising.

Artemis Grill

Perched upon CapitaGreen, the Marina Bay skyline and a Christmas à la carte menu are yours to enjoy here.

The meat lovers may veer towards the tenderloin or striploin, but there are also vegetarian and even gluten-free options.

FOR JAPANESE EXPERTISE

Christmas meals do not have to centre on roast birds. Sometimes, it is about spoiling yourself.

Take Shoukouwa which has been adorned with two Michelin stars, or Sen of Japan which boasts dishes specially designed by a former Nobu chef.

Shoukouwa

Christmas menu here, prices from $580 per person.

Address: 1 Fullerton Road, #02-02A One Fullerton, Singapore 049213

FOR GOOD OL' AMERICAN

OverEasy

A place to kick back (and you don't even have to feel obliged to dress up) and enjoy tongue-in-cheek paraphernalia served up at this all-American diner.

Their Festive Feast feeds up to four, and if you're still wanting for more, there are plenty of sides options.

Christmas menu here, prices from $98 for a group of three to four.

Address: 541 Orchard Road, #01-01, Liat Towers, Singapore 238881

HEAD TO OZ

Stellar at 1-Altitude

Another skyscraping location but with very different meal options.

The website calls it "progressive Australian cuisine", yet the Christmas menu looks to have some reassuringly familiar names.

Turkey, bone-in ham and truffle sauce all could have you looking more like Santa around the waist.

Christmas menu here, prices from $130.

Address: Stellar at 1-Altitude, Level 62, One Raffles Place, Singapore 048616

For reservations: 6438 041
