Guide to Thanksgiving restaurants

• Settle the budget. First things first, we suggest establishing how much money you’ll be able to spend on your event. This will be crucial when determining the shape and size of your Thanksgiving dinner. Once you know your possibilities and the numbers, feel free to use our platform’s filters and browse only those restaurants that match your criteria. The venue is not all, so remember to set aside some budget for the food, beverages, and any other extra things you’d like to incorporate into your party. Some restaurants offer all-inclusive package deals, while others charge separate fees for space rental and catering.

• Put together a guest list. The next step we suggest you take is considering who you’d like to invite to your Thanksgiving dinner and writing down a guest list. When you know the estimated number of people who will be attending your celebration, you’ll be able to pick a restaurant that can comfortably accommodate everyone and has the perfect layout. It’s especially important if you’re a large group of people - you don’t want them to squeeze into a small space, do you? And if you’re hosting an intimate dinner, avoid overspending on a space that’s way too big for just a few of you.

• Choose the festive menu. Are you deciding on a traditional Thanksgiving dinner or going in a completely different direction? Whatever your choice will be, you’ll find somewhere great for your upcoming festive celebration in Miami! In the mood for a Mexican-style feast? Head to Little Havana! But if you’re into international flavors, check out Downtown’s multicultural restaurants! No matter the cuisine, don’t forget about your guests’ food allergies and dietary restrictions when creating the menu.

• Pick the best location. Focus on choosing a place that is easy to find and access. When browsing various restaurants, check if they have parking spaces nearby and how good the public transport links are. You can also consider the vibe of the neighborhood if that’s something important to you.

• Check the reviews. We assume you don’t want to host such an important event in a place with bad food and rude staff. That’s why before you book a Miami restaurant for your upcoming Thanksgiving dinner, it’s worth checking what other people who organized their event at the same place have to say about it and how happy they were with the service. It’s a fantastic way to verify the restaurant’s experience in catering to similar events, as well as check how good they are at doing so.

• Schedule a viewing. Once you’ve browsed through Miami’s selection of restaurants, and found the one that you like the most (according to the pics and the venue’s offer), we recommend getting in touch with the place and scheduling a viewing. Seeing the space in person will let you judge whether it’s the right fit for your celebration. Check the layout, venue capacity, ambiance, as well as whether there is wheelchair access in case you’re hosting someone with disabilities. Generally, make sure the overall vibe of the place agrees with your vision. If you don’t have any objections, don’t waste any more time and secure the restaurant for your Thanksgiving dinner as soon as possible!

• Check the place’s ambiance. When viewing the place of your choice, it’s a great opportunity to check its ambiance and whether the reality matches the pictures. It goes without saying that your Thanksgiving feast will taste even better when it’s hosted in a special space. Are you looking for somewhere elevated with elegant interior design? Or perhaps you’d prefer to throw the dinner in a funky space with a laid-back vibe? Whatever you decide on, you won’t have a problem finding a spot in Miami that answers your needs and desires.
