Christmas in July at Nel

Overview

Sydney fine-diner nel doesn't do anything by halves. When it shows its love for Disney, Moulin Rouge!, Australian native ingredients or KFC on its plates, Nelly Robinson's restaurant goes all in with decadent multi-course degustations. The same applies to Christmas, with the eatery's festive end-of-year spreads a seasonal culinary highlight. But who wants to get jolly just once a year? Not most of us, and not this Wentworth Avenue spot.

In 2023, nel is jumping on the Christmas in July trend with feasts every Sunday. Of course, nel's take on anything it sets its ingredients to is never like anyone else's. So, your winter lunches can now include a nel roast with all the trimmings, plus Christmas pudding and winter bombs — and, before all of that, five snacks and a bread course.

This is a five-time-only affair for this year, because there are five Sundays this July, with the festive offering kicking off on Sunday, July 2.

You'll pay $95 for your taste of merriment, and you'll also need your wallet for any beverages on top.

Bookings are essential. Christmas jumpers are optional (but you know that you want to wear one anyway).
