Flurys is a forever favourite this time of the year. Before you enter, make it a point to stop by and admire the pink Santa hanging outside the eatery. Inside, Flurys has new items like the Spiced Cranberry Turkey Roulade with Australian Duck Confit, White Cherries Jubilee, and Nutty Chocolate Brownie Tin, which encapsulates the Yuletide spirit
Want to feel the full Christmas vibe? There isn’t a better place than Allen Park for that. The walkway has a canopy of lights and each tree within the park has been incorporated into the design with lights that are shaped like bells, trees and stars. Look for a mistletoe, and maybe for a Christmas miracle?
Several stalls add to the flavourful decor at Allen Park. At PetKate’s, there are Panteras and spring rolls for Rs 80-150. Christmas fruit and walnut cakes. Roselle jam, traditional Marzipans, homemade chocolates and coconut macaroons are all on offer at this stall. Not just goodies, if you’re looking for a spooky read, the stall is run by a woman who has written and transcribed ghost stories of Anglo-Indian households that she has collected for all the Bow Barracks across India
