Christmas Day Lunches 2015.

As YAMU tradition dictates, we're forever committed to the quest of helping people satisfy their inner foodie – be it lists, reviews, or seasonal offers. Living up to that commitment, we've got a list of places which are having special Christmas Day lunches should you wish to indulge yourself. 'Tis the holiday season, so loosen up and get ready to immerse yourself in some international buffets. Please keep in mind that these menus are liable to change, so do call and check up before you head over.

Meanwhile, if you want to go for a dinner instead, check out our article on your Christmas Dinner options.
