Thanksgiving 2024: Best dine-in holiday dinners in Calgary
The leaves are beginning to fall, the air is becoming crisper, and we’re starting to get hungry because we know what’s coming – Thanksgiving dinner in Calgary.
This celebratory meal is one of the best of the year in our opinion because it’s the perfect balance of sweet and savoury. Juicy, tender turkey meat with tart cranberry sauce and the carb of all carbs – thick, fluffy stuffing.
While we love eating all of these things, we sure as hell aren’t going to buy the groceries to prepare and make them – and don’t even get us started on the cleanup and dishes from such a lavish meal.
No, we decided long ago that we’d leave the cooking to the pros – chefs in YYC, to be more specific.
Here are some of the top restaurants serving Thanksgiving dinner in Calgary this holiday season.
