October means three things for most Vancouverites: fiery coloured trees, pumpkin spice lattes, and Thanksgiving dinner. Speaking of dinner… several of Vancouver’s best restaurants are cooking up indulgent three-course feasts for those visiting over the October long weekend (October 12-14) or locals wanting to break bread differently this year—read: no cooking or dishes. Give thanks in Vancouver!

Thanksgiving is one of my favourite holidays, because it involves incredible food and being with friends and family. But sometimes it’s nice for none of the friends and family to have to worry about the cooking, am I right? And if you’re from out of town, you may not be inclined or able to create a full feast in your accommodations. This is where the below restaurants come in.

From upscale pub food to elevated cuisine, there’s something for almost every palate and restriction, and all are offering reasonably priced per-person prix-fixe* menus. Whether you’re looking to do something different with family, have an evening out with friends, or just be in good company, celebrate the Thanksgiving long weekend in Vancouver!
