Seasons & Occasions in Side
New Year's Eve, Christmas dinners, Valentine's, summer terraces and quiet winter evenings — how Side's dining year turns, and how to book the good nights.
Side changes costume through the year — packed terraces and midnight singing in August; quiet, golden, locals-and-wise-visitors evenings in January. Hawaii Restaurant & Bar keeps the fire lit through all of it: open daily, year-round, with the festive nights (Christmas, New Year's Eve, Valentine's) treated with the ceremony they deserve.
These guides cover the calendar — what each season feels like at the table, and which nights to book before everyone else does.
