Wondering where to eat this Thanksgiving? Thankfully, we have six options around town for the perfect dining-out holiday meal.
The Henri
1301 Pennsylvania Ave. NW
Prefer to eat Thanksgiving at home but avoid the stress of cooking? Try The Henri’s Thanksgiving at Home Menu, with prices starting at $150 for two. Turkey orders include fresh thyme gravy, a crunchy autumnal salad, cornbread with sausage stuffing, roasted brussel sprouts and more. Desserts are a hard choice as they all look equally decadent — especially the pecan bourbon pie. Best of all, guests can enjoy the spirit of the season and sponsor a local family by donating a turkey dinner for four. Note: orders will need to be placed by Wednesday Nov. 16. The Henri’s Thanksgiving orders can be placed by calling 202-989-5881.
1789
1226 36th St. NW
1789 is offering a three-course meal for $85 (children under 12 eat for $40). Noteworthy items include chicken pot pie fritters for the table and a Kabocha squash velouté with brown-butter cinnamon toast, spun sugar and espelette. Their roasted heritage turkey breast with a cranberry-citrus jus is about as Thanksgiving as it gets too.

Blue Duck Tavern
1201 24th St. NW
The 24th Street restaurant inside the Park Hyatt is offering an a la carte, three-course menu pre-paid for $145 per person (in addition to 10 percent tax and 20 percent gratuity), and $55 for children under 12. Cancellations must be made two weeks in advance in order to receive a full refund. Enough about the technical stuff though—let’s get to the food. Blue Duck Tavern’s Thanksgiving menu is mouthwatering. Don’t miss jumbo lump crab cake cress with green goddess remoulade, a tasty green bean and mushroom casserole and a pumpkin cheese cake topped with maple whipped ganache and pepita-puffed grain crunch.

Fiola Mare
3100 K St. NW
Enjoy either an a la carte menu or a four-course “Celebration of Thanksgiving” menu at Fiola Mare this year. When booking your reservation, note that you’re required to select either one or the other to secure your spot. The a la carte menu includes choices like caviar produced in Calvisano, Italy served with warm blini, whipped ricotta and traditional garnishes and flavorful grilled seafood favorites.
