The festive season in Downtown Dubai is about to get a major dose of Spanish fire. TATEL Dubai, the city’s iconic Spanish dining destination, is inviting guests to celebrate ‘The Last Chapter’ and toast to the new year with a spectacular lineup of events. From seasonal specialties curated by Head Chef Alejandro Maestro to a lively New Year’s Eve celebration with views of the Burj Khalifa fireworks, TATEL is the ultimate location for those seeking a vibrant, aspirational holiday escape that shines with Spanish spirit.
TATEL is launching its Festive Chef’s Specials, available from December 10th to January 10th, ensuring the holidays are infused with authentic Spanish flavors. The menu is an invitation to indulge in the sophisticated yet comforting tastes of a Mediterranean winter.
Highlights of the festive additions include:
- Jarrete de ternera a baja temperatura: Tender, slow-cooked beef shanks served with creamy mashed potato and grilled vegetables.
- Carpaccio de gamba roja: Delicate shrimp carpaccio brightened with mango, cucumber pico de gallo, figs, and apricot jam.
- Nuestro falso limón con sorbete de lima: A sweet and sour ‘fake lemon’ dessert paired with refreshing lime sorbet.

Complementing the feast is a trio of festive cocktails crafted by Bar Manager Nikola Lemic, featuring decadent creations like the brandy-based Christmas Crema and the winter-inspired Señorita Blanca coconut margarita.
The spirit of Spain peaks on Christmas Day (December 25th) with the spirited Noche TATEL Christmas Edition. Starting at 8:30 PM, this evening invites guests to enjoy the bold flavors of Spanish cuisine alongside truly authentic entertainment. The atmosphere will be set by a lively flamenco performance accompanied by a live Spanish guitarist, transforming the restaurant into a genuine Spanish fiesta. For just AED 350 per person, guests can enjoy a two-hour free-flowing package including a curated selection of tapas and unlimited drinks, or choose from the à la carte and Chef’s Specials menus.
The celebrations continue through to New Year’s Eve. With a minimum spend of AED 1,000 per person, revelers can indulge in exquisite culinary delights from the full menu while enjoying soulful live music and a resident DJ. Just before midnight, the festivities move outside to Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard for a perfect glimpse of the spectacular Burj Khalifa fireworks, followed by a high-energy after-party inside the restaurant to welcome 2026.
