If your idea of a perfect New Year’s Eve includes great food, a glamorous setting and a little sparkle as the clock strikes midnight, Vivari Hotel & Spa has you covered. Their Brambles 2026 New Year’s Eve Dinner promises an elegant evening of fine dining, live music and celebration — all wrapped up in Vivari’s signature luxury.
Festivities begin at 7pm on December 31, with a beautifully curated culinary journey that sets the tone from the very first bite. Guests are welcomed with artisanal bread and vibrant amuse bouches, followed by refined starters like beetroot carpaccio and salmon ceviche. From there, the menu unfolds effortlessly — think chilled lime and avocado soup, before moving on to indulgent mains such as beef ribeye with creamy potato, perfectly prepared line fish, duck confit, or a vegetarian cauliflower steak that holds its own among the classics.
Dessert is a celebration in itself, with a choice between a decadent dark chocolate tart and a delicate verbena panna cotta — the perfect sweet note to end the year on.
Little ones aren’t forgotten either. A special kids’ menu features familiar favourites including spaghetti Bolognese, grilled chicken strips with creamy mash, and playful desserts like New Year cupcakes decorated with gold and frosting.
As the evening builds towards midnight, a live band keeps the atmosphere festive, and guests are treated to a complimentary glass of bubbles to toast the arrival of 2026. With its polished setting, thoughtful details and celebratory spirit, Vivari Hotel & Spa creates a New Year’s Eve experience designed for making memories — whether you’re celebrating with family, friends or both.
