If you’re staying in this Christmas, The Gyu Bar’s personal wagyu bento set ($48) makes for the perfect little treat with a touch of luxe appropriate for the season.

Each set also comes with a side salad with roasted sesame dressing.

Bakery-café Paul is expanding its Christmas offerings this year. On top of the usual seasonal cakes and bakes, there’s also a selection of festive feasts.
