Yes, Christmas is a time for indulgence, celebration, and let’s be honest—really, really good food. And while there’s nothing wrong with the traditional turkey or ham, why not expand a little bit and elevate your holiday table with dishes that are guaranteed to dazzle? Whether you’re dining at home or indulging in fine dining in Jakarta, here are five Christmas dinner meals that will reflect the best festive cheers! Spoiler alert: the last two are Lawry’s specialties you don’t want to miss!

1. Garlic-Sage Steak Topping  

Let’s start with a classic steak dressed to impress. A perfectly cooked steak needs no introduction, but pairing it with a decadent garlic-sage butter topping takes the dish to another level. The buttery richness, fragrant sage, and mellow garlic add just the right touch of holiday flavor. Bonus: the topping can be made ahead, so you can enjoy more time sipping eggnog and less time in the kitchen.

2. Oysters Rockefeller  

For those who crave a bit of opulence during the holidays, Oysters Rockefeller is the appetizer you need. These half-shell beauties are topped with a flavorful blend of butter, herbs, and breadcrumbs before being baked to golden perfection. Serve this as a prelude to a sumptuous main course and watch your guests swoon.

3. Bistro Salad with Warm Goat Cheese Croutes  

Every great meal needs a fresh and zesty counterpart, and this French-inspired salad fits the bill. Crisp greens are paired with warm, panko-crusted goat cheese rounds that add both crunch and creaminess. It’s simple yet sophisticated—a perfect nod to the Christmas spirit. Plus, it’s a great way to feel like you’re “balancing” the indulgence of the main course.

4. Lawry’s Prime Rib Roast  

Ah, the pièce de résistance. Lawry’s Prime Rib Roast is the holiday centerpiece dreams are made of. This tender, perfectly roasted prime rib is served with Lawry’s iconic sides, including creamy corn, creamed spinach, and mashed potatoes. Add the Original Spinning Bowl Salad, classic Yorkshire pudding, and whipped cream horseradish, and you’ve got a meal that’s both indulgent and unforgettable. There’s a reason this dish is a tradition for so many—it’s just that good.

5. Lawry’s Chicken Breast with Garlic Confit 

If you’re looking for something equally exquisite but slightly lighter, Lawry’s Chicken Breast is your answer. This dish combines tender, juicy chicken with the mellow sweetness of garlic confit for a flavor profile that’s both comforting and sophisticated. Served with all the festive flair you’d expect from Lawry’s menu, it’s proof that chicken can indeed hold its own on the Christmas table.

If you want to take this Christmas up a notch, it is just a reservation away with Lawry’s The Prime Rib Jakarta. Whether it’s the savory indulgence of prime rib or the tender perfection of roasted chicken breast, we offer a fine dining experience in Jakarta that promises to make your holiday feast worth remembering.
