The Best Dallas Restaurants for Thanksgiving Dinner or Brunch
From a Feast Atop Reunion Tower to a Brand-New Michelin-Recognized Indian Spot, Dine Out in Style This Turkey Day
By Megan Ziots //
We love that more and more people have gotten on board with the idea that Thanksgiving doesn’t have to mean spending all day in the kitchen. It’s sometimes easier to enjoy a meal (especially a holiday meal) with the family when the work part is taken out of the equation. There’s usually less bickering, too. I’m looking at you, Dad.
So, on that note, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite local dining concepts doing the hard work for you this year. From a feast atop the Reunion Tower to a different kind of Turkey Day at a brand-new Michelin-recognized Indian spot, these are our top Dallas restaurants for Thanksgiving brunch or dinner.
