Forget the holiday hassle. Let the experts deal with the basters and meat thermometers this Thanksgiving; several of Seattle’s storied restaurants open for Thanksgiving with special menus and festive decor. Many are stationed in hotels, thus ready to host any out-of-towners and handle all the scene setting, and some do takeout.

Ben Paris

Pike Place Market

The patterned wallpaper alone is reason enough to check out this beautiful spot within the State Hotel. The airy outpost will serve a $95 buffet for the holiday, mixing traditional favorites with chef-crafted takes on PNW fall bounty.

Cafe Flora

Madison Valley

Choose your own adventure—or at least between the cozy dining room, atrium, or heated patio—for a four-course, $88 vegetarian feast starting with potato and celery root soup and finishing with chocolate pecan pie or the oh-so-classic pumpkin pie. If you have dinner covered but need bakery prowess, sibling café Flora Bakehouse offers take-home goods like a chanterelle mac and cheese and vegan, gluten-free pumpkin pies, available for pickup the day before Thanksgiving.

Charlotte Restaurant

Downtown

Lotte Hotel Seattle‘s 16th-floor restaurant goes full-fall for its $130 three-course Thanksgiving meal, capped with a decadent dessert buffet and sweeping views.

Daniel’s Broiler

Downtown, Leschi, South Lake Union, Bellevue

The four-location fine-dining outpost features an $85 buffet at the downtown location and $100 four-course experiences at the other outposts, all with a PNW steakhouse flair. Turkey is just one of half a dozen protein options ranging from king salmon to Wagyu rib cap.

Goldfinch Tavern

Downtown

Chef Andrea Ferrandi has been busy this holiday season. Goldfinch Tavern’s three-course feast boasts Dungeness crab deviled eggs, slow-roasted prime rib, and pumpkin pie custard—among the holiday usuals. Meanwhile, in the Four Seasons ballroom, a group-friendly buffet set up shows off with carving stations, charcuterie, and a drool-worthy dessert spread.

La Loba

Denny Regrade

James Beard–nominated chef Oscar Amador Edo is at the helm of La Loba’s Barcelona-inspired cuisine in the 1 Hotel. For Thanksgiving, global traditions of gratitude inspire a $140 prix fixe dinner menu that enhances the traditional turkey with Ibérico gravy, truffled chorizo stuffing, and candied yam tarte tatin.

Lola

Denny Regrade

Tom Douglas’s Mediterranean spot in Hotel Ändra adds a fresh flair to the classics, serving a $85, four-course meal complete with za’atar-roasted turkey and cranberry-pomegranate relish. Spanakopita subs for turkey in the vegetarian version, and the tart lemon sorbet rivals pumpkin for dessert.

The SOMM

Woodinville

The new Woodinville hotel and spa’s eateries offer Thanksgiving fare from chef Maximillian Petty, matched with dream wine pairings. Bin 47’s $125 three-course family-style dinner ends with a bang: pumpkin basque cheesecake and pecan crack pie bars.

Sparrow

Kirkland

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

Water’s Table

Renton

Down south, Hyatt Regency Lake Washington brings two Thanksgiving options to the table: a $110 Lakesgiving buffet with a seafood bar and carving station, or a la carte options from the Water’s Table holiday menu.

Water Grill

Bellevue

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 or caramel bread pudding.

Barking Frog

Woodinville

The cozy, upscale inn celebrates Thanksgiving with a three-course, $95 dinner menu at Barking Frog. The Willows Lodge will also serve its storied holiday buffet in the Sammamish Ballroom with 1pm, 1:30pm, 4pm, and 4:30pm seatings overlooking the lodge’s herb garden.

Takeout

13 Coins

Sodo, Seatac, Bellevue

The high-backed booths of 13 Coins are open for business on Thanksgiving, but the kitchen churns out whole family to-go meals as well. Herb-roasted turkeys feed four ($220) or eight ($400), sans meat thermometers and basters. Takeout includes sides like orange cranberry sauce—and a whole pie.

Duke’s Seafood

South Lake Union, Greenlake, Bellevue

Sure, chowder might not be your first thought when prepping for a Thanksgiving dinner. But the folks at Duke’s Seafood are onto something, suggesting 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—sourdough included—can be nabbed at any Duke’s location, no preorder necessary.

Fairmont Olympic Hotel

Downtown

The elegant Fairmont restaurant offers the holiday to go in four- and eight-person bundles. All the essentials—turkey, sourdough, stuffing, veggies, cider gravy, and more—and a bottle of bubbles, to boot.

Kitchen and Market

Various locations, including delivery

The local meal mini-chain hawks stacked holiday meals or a build-your-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.

One House Hospitality

Delivery

Though best known for sit-down dining, the culinary prowess behind One House (née 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 sides like brussels sprouts and brown-sugared yams.

W Seattle

Downtown

The downtown hotel whips up something for the staycationers: classic fare paired with sweet corn soup, autumnal cobb salad, pumpkin cheesecake, and cranberry ginger compote. Each $133 preorder set serves two people, with pickup at TRACE Market on Thanksgiving Day.
