Thursday, November 26, 2026, is Thanksgiving, and restaurants across DC, Virginia, and Maryland are plating prix fixe menus, tasting menus, and buffets so nobody has to wash a single pan. Let’s get into it, before tables (and desserts) disappear.
DC Splurges for a Big Celebration
Fiola pours on the luxury with a $335 five-course tasting from chef Antonio Mermolia, 4 to 8 p.m., with a turkey involtino and an optional white truffle tagliolini. At The Wharf, Fiola Mare serves a $150 four-course feast from 2 to 8 p.m., while Del Mar offers a $145 three-course Spanish menu with spider crab paella from noon to 8 p.m.
A Classic Buffet and a Georgetown Table
For a crowd, the Fairmont Washington, DC, Georgetown spreads its Thanksgiving buffet across the sunlit Colonnade from noon to 3 p.m. for $150 per adult and $40 per child, with turkey carving and a Chesapeake raw bar. Book by emailing [email protected]. Nearby, 1789 Restaurant serves a $95 three-course menu with Boar Springs Farm turkey and red wine braised short rib.
Virginia Comfort Under $80
Narrowing it down? Josephine in Old Town Alexandria pairs its full French menu with a $75 family-style turkey feast, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Maryland Feasts Worth the Drive
If I had only one choice for Maryland? Washington Street Pub in Easton serves a $65 prix fixe with butternut pear soup and brioche stuffing ($35 for kids 12 and under), 1 to 7 p.m. In Annapolis, Marmo plates a $45 turkey dinner with focaccia stuffing overlooking the Chesapeake Bay.
