Lots of locals as well as current visitors look for something special to do this coming up Thanksgiving by eating out, especially to spend time together and be grateful for all the people we love and have in our lives. We’ve done a round-up of special events taking place for this Thursday, make sure to decide where to head to and book as soon as you can!
Hard Rock Cafe – lunch or dinner Nov 25-28th
The Hard Rock Cafe is generally the one we head to with the little kids, as it has space and music which allows us to relax and not be worried about our kids bothering others. Their Thanksgiving menu includes slow-roasted turkey breast, roasted fresh vegetables, classic stuffing, creamy sweet potato mash, cranberry sauce and gravy. End your meal with a delicious slice of classic pumpkin pie topped with caramel sauce and house-made whipped cream. The menu has a set cost of €24.95 and is offered from the 25th of November through the 28th, at either lunch or dinner. Gives you lots of choice to make sure you can fit in the celebration into your itinerary or days. We particularly like that there is a kids menu since mine would not eat everything!
