Thanksgiving may be all about food, but that doesn't mean you have to actually cook any. Lots of restaurants are offering Thanksgiving menus on Turkey Day, and you can see a complete list of them on our Things To Do calendar. To whet your appetite, here's a list of Angela Garbes' recommendations. (Have dinner plans but looking for more things to do on Thanksgiving? Our calendar has those, too.)
1. 5 Point Cafe
At Seattle’s legendary dive bar the 5 Point, $25 gets you a simple, homey feast of turkey and all the fixings (including broccoli casserole), as well as pumpkin or pecan pie for dessert. It’s no doubt the only restaurant in town serving Thanksgiving dinner where no one will bat an eye if you show up in sweatpants.
2. Cafe Flora
Alternative eaters rejoice! Cafe Fiora offers a four-course vegetarian Thanksgiving meal with tons of gluten free options.
3. Cedarbrook
This decadent farm-to-table three-course Thanksgiving meal, prepared by Chef Mark Bodinet, includes the traditional staples, but also features novel items like gnocchi, scallops, cider braised apples, and short ribs.
4. Golden Beetle
Black Cod and Root Vegetable Ragout are some highlights of this four-course Thanksgiving meal with an Eastern Mediterranean twist.
5. Miller's Guild
Miller's Guild's Thanksgiving menu includes a choice of Wagyu beef prime rib with truffled watercress or turkey leg and thigh confit with "shrapnel gravy."
6. RN74
The Thanksgiving menu at this high-end-modern French bistro includes pumpkin gnocchi and caviar doughnuts.
For something a little different, check out Maximilien's five-course menu with a live accordion performance or Big Mario's Thanksgiving pizza specials.
