Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, November 22 this year, so whether you’re an expat who’s far from home or you just have a craving for some turkey before Christmas arrives, there are plenty of options for feasting and celebrating this heartwarming holiday.
Below, some of the best spots to celebrate with all the trimmings, from cosy taverns to the city’s prime meat houses, plus options to have the best birds delivered straight to your door.
Wolfgang’s Steakhouse
The American steakhouse has been offering some of the best slices of beef since opening last year, but aside from steaks, Wolfgang’s Steakhouse is also offering a Thanksgiving dinner menu featuring succulent sous vide turkey and more. It all starts with a ricotta cheese salad and a classic style pumpkin soup, before a choice of dry-aged New York sirloin or turkey as your main. It finishes with a satisfying slice of traditional pecan pie for a taste of the holidays.

Posto Pubblico
Celebrate Thanksgiving with La Famiglia at Italian-American restaurant Posto Pubblico this year. The gourmet menu is jam packed with authentic dishes, so you can have your turkey and your tiramisu. Homemade burrata and veal meatballs kick off the meal before the garlic butter roasted turkey comes to the table with stuffing, potatoes and vegetable sides. There is also the option of a two-hour free flow drinks package which comes with continuous pours of Henriot Champagne, Wild Turkey Old Fashioned, red or white wine, and Peroni Beer.

Stone Nullah Tavern
There’s something about this tavern and its dark wooden interior that already feels festive, while the hearty American fare also feeds into the holiday feeling for Thanksgiving. An optional Seafood Platter (HK$50 per person) with oysters, crab legs, black cod ceviche and old bay shrimp add a touch of luxury to the meal, but the real decision making comes with choosing between the garlic butter roasted turkey or southern fried turkey. And it wouldn’t truly be American without the warm skillet s’mores or a rich apple crumble for dessert. Free-flow drink packages are also available with wine, craft beers and spirit mixers.
Thanksgiving dinner menu HK$548 (+10%) per person; free-flow drinks package HK$198-308 (+10%) per person is available 20-26 November.
