136 December 2016 www.bahrainthismonth.com The holidays are upon us and preparations to make this the best season of the year are in full swing at Le Meridien and The Westin Bahrain City Centre. Le Meridien’s Baharat and The Westin’s Furn Bistro have got the National Day holidays sorted for you. The former offers a special brunch, while the latter hosts dinner with a quintessential sharing menu replete with ouzi and traditional Bahraini dishes to honour the island’s noteworthy day. Residents of Bahrain enjoy a whopping 50-per-cent discount by showing their CPR. Baharat will be staging Christmas Trimmings; a lavish festive lunch and dinner buffet, and Mezzanine Lounge will also be abuzz with festive-themed drinks and dishes from December 1–25. Sweet Indulgences at Furn Bakery allows you to gorge on Yule logs, Christmas cookies, gingerbread and Christmasinspired pastries from December 1-26. Kids can enjoy the holiday tradition of making a gingerbread house. You can either buy the kit to build the sweet house from the bakery, or sign up your child for a Saturday evening class from December 1-24 with German Santa ‘Sven’. Junior bakers can have a complimentary session of breaking eggs, rolling out and shaping dough, and eating their creations under supervision, while parents can unwind in the precincts of the hotels on Saturday mornings. Once the gifts have been wrapped, indulge in a delicious pre-Christmas brunch at Baharat on December 23 and enjoy quality time with the whole family. The tone will be set for a big night full of celebrations at the eatery’s Christmas Eve dinner. Unwind from the previous night’s revelry with a luxurious Christmas brunch here. Make the most of Furn Bistro’s ‘Turkey to Go’ for a Christmas meal at home without the drudgery of cooking and cleaning.
