You might be surprised how many restaurants are open on Christmas Day.

But some of them book quickly, so make your reservations early, either by calling the restaurant or seeing if you can reserve a table online through OpenTspanble.

Many restaurants will serve their regular menu, but some will add a holiday dish or two. Other restaurants will feature special holiday brunches and dinners with a set price. A few restaurants will even have their regular menu plus a special holiday menu.

Some restaurants have not decided whether they’ll be open on Christmas Day, or what their menu or hours will be, so check back periodically for updates. 

If we’ve inadvertently omitted your favorite, email [email protected].
