‍
* At Ayla we like to take any dietary restrictions into account. There's avegetarian option for each menu as well.

Enjoy atable filled with friends, family and Mediterranean dishes.

The first two courses include a selection of Ayla's favourite tapas dishes, including pulpo escabech, crispy veal, lambsrack and burrata-tomato salad. Followed by not one, but two classic Christmas dishes: a crispy fried duck breast and a confit duck leg with gingerbread and chicory. These are served with a modern version of Hete Bliksem with pancetta and sauerkraut with pink pepper; a Dutch classic with a Mediterranean twist.

Ayla will also serve a deer sucade with carrot, citrus and almond, Iberico pork with bourbon sauce; as well as roasted beet with smoked feta in the five- and six-course menu. Savoury and earthy wild tones play the leading role, interspersed with sweet undertones; perfect for the Christmas spirit.

We end the Christmas dinner with Ayla's popular Sticky Toffee pudding; with a Christmas twist. Of course, we'll gladly serve a cheese platter with Mediterranean cheeses for the true connaisseur.
