Konomi
Christmas dinner, Asian style! This a-ma-zing sushi box includes Maki’s, nigiri, tuna/salmon/ebi and california rolls and a portion of seaweed. You pay €89,- for this box but it’s plenty of food for 2, maybe 3 persons! Moreover, it includes a bottle of white wine :-). They are located on the Gedempte Oude Gracht and you can order the Christmas box online or give them a call on +31 23 205 2666.
Restaurant Brick
This “gezellige” restaurant in Haarlem did it last year and return with a delish Christmas menu in 2021! You can go as crazy on the food as you want and pick a 5, 6 or even 7-course Christmas box starting at €75,- per person. It’s not the most affordable menu but it’s extremely good and worth you money. And to be honest, we would probably spend a whole lot more during a period without lockdowns.
