Christmas 2020: The Best Meals and Dining Experiences Available on United We Dine
This article was updated on December 18, 2020.
The local dining scene has been devastated by the Covid-19 pandemic, as evinced by the many bars and restaurants that have shuttered. Understanding the need to support the F&B industry, we launched the #UnitedWeDine campaign in June 2020 to encourage everyone to support their favourite establishments by dining out. In return, some of the participating chefs created exclusive United We Dine menus and special promotions diners could avail of during this period.
We have received positive responses about the campaign, so we have decided to bring back the #UnitedWeDine campaign for a not-to-be-missed holiday edition. Again, we’ve partnered with a number of restaurants to offer a special menu for food lovers to indulge in.
Here are some curated dining experiences to get you started:
