The Ultimate Thanksgiving Dining Guide for Miami & South Florida 2026 — Every Table, Every Vibe, Every Price

Thanksgiving in Miami is not one thing. It is a spectrum — from the technically precise tasting menu at L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon to a flaming Peking turkey at Hutong Brickell to a drag brunch in Wynwood to a trackside buffet at Gulfstream Park with live racing. The city has more confirmed Thanksgiving tables than any year in recent memory, and the range is genuinely wide. Here is every option we have confirmed for 2026, organized by vibe.

L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon in the Design District is the most technically ambitious Thanksgiving in Miami — a tasting-menu format in a room that takes food seriously. Service runs 4pm–9pm. This is the pick if you want Thanksgiving to feel like an occasion rather than a meal. Le Jardinier, also in the Design District, is $185 per person and runs noon–9pm — the longest service window in the fine dining tier and the best value at this level. Carbone Miami on South Beach is $225 per person, 4pm–9pm. The room is the experience — the red leather booths, the tableside service, the theatrical energy. Carbone Vino in Coconut Grove is the same menu at $175 per person, 2pm–9pm, for the table that wants Carbone without South Beach.

CATCH Miami Beach in South of Fifth runs 4pm–9pm with a holiday menu that blends tradition and the unexpected: Short Rib Croquette ($23) to start, Roasted Heritage Turkey ($60) with herbed stuffing and cranberry, and Pumpkin Crème Brûlée to close. Kiki on the River runs its Thanksgiving Holiday Feast 5pm–11pm at $55 per person — Chef Wladimir's herb-roasted turkey with truffle brioche stuffing, pumpkin cheesecake, and the Miami River as your backdrop. Amara at Paraiso in Edgewater runs a waterfront buffet on Biscayne Bay: artisanal cheese and charcuterie, herb-crusted turkey breast, salt-baked salmon, coast-roasted ribeye, and a full dessert station. Vida at the Fontainebleau in Miami Beach is $120 per adult, $60 per child, 2pm–9pm — all-you-can-eat buffet with waterfront views.

R House Wynwood runs its Thanksgiving Drag Brunch across two weekends: Friendsgiving (November 21–22) and post-Thanksgiving (November 28–29). $65 per person includes the prix-fixe menu and bottomless drinks. Add bottomless Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martinis for $10. Groups of four or more get a $50 gift card and front-row seating upgrade; parties of eight or more get a giant Pumpkin Pie. This is the most theatrical Thanksgiving in the city.

Donna Mare Italian Chophouse at the Cadillac Hotel runs a three-course Thanksgiving dinner at $89 per person — slow-roasted organic turkey, handmade pasta, and a 50-year-old mother yeast focaccia. The optional Holiday Wine Experience is $65 per guest with four curated pours. San Lorenzo on the Upper Eastside runs Thanksgiving Lunch as an Italian Family Celebration starting at noon. Vitolo at the Conrad Fort Lauderdale Beach brings old-school New York Italian to the holiday: Pumpkin Ravioli with brown butter and sage, Meat Lasagna, and Turkey Dinner with sweet potatoes and stuffing.

Maple & Ash Miami at Miami Worldcenter opens 5pm–10pm with its full à la carte menu plus holiday specials: Black Truffle Turkey ($79) with brussels sprouts, chanterelles, pomme purée, and black truffle jus. Daniel's Miami in Coral Gables opens at 3pm with prime rib, Green Circle turkey, and pumpkin cheesecake alongside the full steakhouse menu. Daniel's Fort Lauderdale opens at 3:30pm with the same holiday specials — the Michelin Guide-recognized steakhouse from father-son team Dave and Danny Shula. Hell's Kitchen at Seminole Hard Rock brings Gordon Ramsay's theatrical sensibility to the holiday.

Hutong Miami in Brickell is doing a Flaming Peking Turkey — air-dried for 36 hours, lacquered and roasted using the same technique as the restaurant's signature duck, then set aflame tableside. For home celebrations, Hutong at Home offers a Thanksgiving Deluxe package: $466 for two to three guests, $656 for four to six. Zaytinya at the Ritz-Carlton South Beach runs an elevated Thanksgiving Dinner at $95 per person: roasted turkey, chestnut stuffing, black truffle-whipped potatoes, and a Mediterranean lens on the holiday. AVA MediterrAegean in Bal Harbour brings a lamb rack as the centerpiece — herb-crusted, the Mediterranean answer to turkey. Tanuki River Landing on the Miami River brings Japanese-Latin fusion to the holiday. Hakkasan at the Fontainebleau runs 2pm–9pm — Michelin-recommended Chinese haute cuisine applied to Thanksgiving.

Maison Ostrow in North Bay Village is the only confirmed kosher Thanksgiving in Miami. Chef Olivia Ostrow's four-course menu opens with roasted pumpkin velouté or endive and pear salad, followed by pate en croute with duck, veal, and pistachios. The main is turkey. For tables that want more, a 40-day dry-aged prime ribeye is available at $135 per pound (two-pound minimum), and a 7-day dry-aged prime tomahawk is also on offer.

Americana Kitchen at Loews Coral Gables runs noon–4pm — a reliable, well-executed hotel Thanksgiving in a room that doesn't feel like a hotel. Preston's Market at Loews Miami Beach runs a Thanksgiving Day Dinner Buffet 5pm–9pm on South Beach. Trump National Doral runs Thanksgiving Day Brunch starting at 11am — the earliest service window in the dataset. LPM Miami in Brickell runs 12:30pm–9:30pm — French-Mediterranean, one of the best rooms in the city.

Grand Public Kitchen + Bar in Coconut Grove serves a Turkey & Trimmings plate ($38) on November 26: slow-roasted turkey, turkey gravy, wild mushroom stuffing, cranberry sauce, and roasted garlic mashed potatoes. Rusty Pelican on Virginia Key is the waterfront Thanksgiving institution — Biscayne Bay views, a menu built around the setting. La Rosa brings the Cuban roasted pork tradition to the holiday — for the Miami table that celebrates with lechón. Sala'o in Little Havana is the neighborhood Thanksgiving, the kind of place that makes the holiday feel like a family meal even when you're eating out. A Fish Called Avalon on Miami Beach runs Thanksgiving Dinner from 4pm — a classic Miami Beach seafood restaurant that has been doing this for decades.

Ten Palms at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach runs a Thanksgiving Day buffet brunch 11am–3pm at $75++ per person — with live horse racing included. The spread: salad bar, fresh Gulf shrimp, charcuterie, a carving station with sous vide tri-tip, honey ham, and beef au jus, plus a dessert station. Oceans 234 in Deerfield Beach runs a Thanksgiving Plate ($46) with slow-roasted turkey breast and ocean views. Vilebrequin La Plage offers a three-course Thanksgiving menu ($85 per person, minimum two guests) at its Miami Beach rooftop.

Ocean Key Resort & Spa at the foot of Duval Street in Key West is hosting an elevated four-course Thanksgiving dinner on November 26 with waterfront harbor views. Hand-crafted cocktails and Thanksgiving classics with an island twist. If you're making the drive, this is the pick.

Preston's Market at Loews Miami Beach runs a Beachfront Brunch on New Year's Day — but for the day after Thanksgiving, the city's brunch scene reopens in full. Plan accordingly. All options require reservations. Thanksgiving is not a walk-in holiday in Miami — book now.
