Ember & Rye
Our list kicks off with Ember & Rye in Carlsbad, where the fun begins on Thanksgiving morning. This restaurant offers a buffet that starts at 10AM where you can whet your appetite for what’s to come.

At Ember & Rye, you have options on how to feast on turkey day, whether it’s in the morning, midday, or evening.
Mille Fleurs
Now for our next option, you might not immediately think French cuisine for Thanksgiving dinner, but trust us, you won’t be disappointed. It’s more of a combination of French and local Californian cuisines done in a way that’s comforting and delicious. On Thanksgiving, Mille Fleurs’ renowned Chef Harrison offers a special prix-fixe menu that shows off the best of the season. Think of a delicious mushroom soup to start, with mushrooms that have been cultivated at a San Diego based urban farm. There will also be fresh harvest salads and tender turkey obtained from Diestel Farm. Enjoy a real farm-to-table Thanksgiving experience when you dine at Mille Fleurs.
Addison
This holiday season, why not go all out with a Thanksgiving dinner at San Diego’s only three-star Michelin restaurant, Addison. Chef William Bradley will offer a multi-course menu that will leave you craving more. This menu goes beyond the comforting favorite you know and love. Take Thanksgiving dinner up a notch with white truffles, quail, and delectably prepared shrimp dishes. This is an exclusive opportunity to treat yourself this Thanksgiving. It’s a bit of an investment, but it’s worth it for a Thanksgiving dinner you’ll never forget. Be sure to make your reservations.
