These Local Restaurants Will Serve Thanksgiving Dinner

The Hotel 1000 restaurant prioritizes football with a prix fixe menu and plenty of TVs trained to the games in Dallas, Detroit, and Baltimore. For $95 per person, the selection includes updated versions of traditional holiday fare: wild salmon with couscous alongside a roasted turkey, and bourbon pecan bread pudding for dessert.

The patterned wallpaper alone is reason enough to check out this beautiful spot within the State Hotel. It will serve a $95 buffet for the holiday, complete with festive pours like hot mulled wine—and a take-home box for the joys of Thanksgiving leftovers. 

Choose your own adventure between the cozy dining room, atrium, or heated patio for a creative four-course, $88 vegetarian feast starting with winter squash soup and finishing off with chocolate pecan pie or the ever-classic pumpkin pie. Have dinner covered but need bakery prowess? Sister café Flora Bakehouse offers take-home goods like a foraged chanterelle mac and cheese and gluten-free pumpkin pies, available for pickup the day before Thanksgiving. 

Lotte Hotel Seattle‘s 16th-floor restaurant goes full-fall for its $130 four-course Thanksgiving meal. The always-creative buffet will include Dungeness crab beignets and heritage turkey ballotine, with seasonal cocktails and the option to add wine pairings and guaranteed window seating to online reservations.

The four-location fine-dining outpost features a buffet at the Downtown location ($75) and four-course menu options at the other locations ($95), all with a PNW steakhouse flair. Turkey is just one of nearly a dozen protein options ranging from king salmon to Wagyu rib cap. 

Three courses at $165 include a host of options, like king salmon with
black truffle gnocchi and a mushroom terrine. Even the kids menu is on point…can adults order the fruity “rainbow ball pit” dessert? The Ethan Stowell restaurant inside the Four Seasons will serve Thanksgiving meals from 11am–7pm with reservations going fast, but the hotel will also serve its $165 ballroom buffet overlooking Elliot Bay. Reserve online for Goldfinch or the buffet.

The elegant restaurant at the Fairmont will serve a four-course, $90 dinner. The menu kicks off with seasonal bisques and Skagit sourdough before getting into seafood-forward mains served family-style. The hotel’s other dining outlets also offer festive menus, like a seafood-forward prix fixe at Shuckers, a fall cocktail menu at Olympic Bar, and a takeout turkey option. 

James Beard–nominated chef Oscar Amador Edo is at the helm of La Loba’s Barcelona-inspired cuisine in the new 1 Hotel. For Thanksgiving, global traditions inspire a $175 prix fixe dinner menu that elevates turkey with salsa macha, salmon with a miso glaze, and Iberico pork with truffles. 

Tom Douglas’s Mediterranean spot in Hotel Ändra adds a fresh flair to the classics, serving a $75, four-course meal complete with harissa honey carrots and the surprise of kalamata olives in the stuffing. Spanakopita subs for turkey in the vegetarian version of the meal, and baklava pie rivals pumpkin for dessert. 

The brand-new Woodinville hotel and spa’s eateries offer distinct Thanksgiving fare from chef Max Petty (formerly of Eden Hill) matched up with dream wine pairings. Bin 47’s $85 three-course family style dinner ends with a visit from a pie cart; the Shed pairs expansive views with holiday-inspired specials bolstering its usual local fare menu. 

A charming independent spot in the Juanita neighborhood will serve four courses for $95 with options like Osetra caviar, zucchini linguine, and Wagyu bites. The vibey bar supplements the menu with wine, cocktails, and creative nonalcoholic sips.

Down south, Water’s Table will serve a $55 prix fixe Thanksgiving menu served family style for large-ish groups of four or more. Smaller groups can pick from a holiday menu including turkey ballotine and a roasted squash salad alongside the everyday menu. The Lake Washington Ballroom in the same hotel has a buffet for $100 per person—and a football viewing room.

This Bellevue seafood joint celebrates Thanksgiving with a $75 three-course meal—in addition to its normal menu, if festive food isn’t your jam. The feast starts with either salad or clam chowder, and ends with pumpkin cheesecake, though the middle spread is a more traditional turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce menu.

The cozy, upscale inn celebrates with a three-course, $95 dinner menu at Barking Frog in addition to a brunch soiree all weekend. The lodge will also serve its storied holiday buffet in the Sammamish Ballroom to seatings at 1pm, 1:30pm, 4pm, and 4:30pm, showcasing gems like pumpkin pie topped with Chantilly cream.

This local takeout spot with pickup in White Center presents a South American take on Thanksgiving dinner: Last year’s mains ranged from slow-braised beef to shredded turkey, and sides included garlic green beans with aji amarillo and roasted corn with queso fresco. Whatever this year’s yet-to-be-announced menu holds, plenty of add-ons (plantains, yuca fries, roasted veggies with chimichurri) will make for a truly bespoke holiday meal. 

Sure, chowder might not be your first thought when prepping for a Thanksgiving dinner. But the folks at Duke’s Seafood are lending their classic clam chowder and Lobster Mobster Pernod chowder in half-gallon portions to add some novelty and PNW flair to those holiday meals. The provisions can be nabbed at any Duke’s location, no preorder necessary. 

Though best known for sit-down dining, the culinary prowess behind Ethan Stowell Restaurants will be sticking to bake-at-home holiday feasts this year. Each box is designed for five to six people, with a 14-pound herb-crusted turkey, and seasonal produce-based sides such as brussels sprouts and brown-sugared yams. 

The Pike Place Market meal company hawks stacked holiday meals or a build-you-own option to supplement any menu. Start with a turkey and choose sides like parmesan delicata squash and maple glazed carrots—and don’t forget the pomegranate smash cocktail mix. 

The downtown hotel whips up something for the staycationers: classic fare paired with sweet corn soup, poached pear salad, pumpkin cheesecake, and some enticing pecan bars. Each $110 preorder set serves two people, with pickup Thanksgiving afternoon.
