Vancouver Thanksgiving Restaurant Dinners

September 30, 2025

A number of Vancouver restaurants offer special Thanksgiving dinners for people who don’t want to cook their own dinners. You can dine in or take out.

Thanksgiving takes place on the second Sunday in October each year. The day after, Thanksgiving Monday, is a statutory holiday. Those dates in 2026 are October 11th and 12th.

During the Thanksgiving season friends and family typically get together for dinner which frequently includes turkey and/or ham (or a vegetarian or vegan alternative). Preparing the dinner can be a lot of work, which is why some people eat out, or order full turkey dinners for takeout from local restaurants.

Thanksgiving Dinner Options at Metro Vancouver Restaurants

Below is information about special Thanksgiving dinner options at a few restaurants in downtown Vancouver and on the North Shore.

Restaurants to check out include the H2 Kitchen and H Tasting Lounge at the Westin Bayshore Hotel in Coal Harbour in Vancouver. Also in Vancouver is the P2B Bistro & Bar at the Pinnacle Harbourfront Hotel and Tutto which is a really nice Italian restaurant in Yaletown.

Restaurants to check out on Vancouver’s North Shore include the Pier 7 Restaurant + Bar and Lobby Restaurant. Both of these are in the Shipyards District, not far from Lonsdale Quay. The Lobby Restaurant is in the Pinnacle Hotel at the Pier and the Pier 7 is right on the waterfront.

Lots of other restaurants are open in the Lower Mainland with turkey and other special Thanksgiving dinner options. Below we list just a few that we know are especially good and popular.

Note: Events that typically happen around this time of year include Pumpkin Patches at farms in the Fraser Valley, Haunted Houses in various communities, and plenty of Shows & Entertainment (including a couple of plays as well as circus shows with Circo Osorio). There is also the Fort Langley Cranberry Festival on the Saturday of the Thanksgiving weekend.

HOTEL TIPS

Thanksgiving can be a great time for a staycation at a local hotel. Did you know that hotel rates can sometimes be lower than average on the Thanksgiving long weekend? That’s because not so many people are travelling for work, and Thanksgiving tends to be a time for visiting family more than vacationing. Hotels like the Westin Bayshore Vancouver, Pinnacle Harbourfront Hotel and Pinnacle Hotel at the Pier are all terrific places to stay overnight.

And here’s another tip. If you want to stay at a hotel in downtown Vancouver, be sure to check out the website StayVancouverHotels.com! Through it you can get some really good deals, plus bonus perks like gift cards and tickets to events.

(Note: You can’t book a night at the Pinnacle Hotel at the Pier through StayVancouverHotels.com because it isn’t in downtown Vancouver. You can, though, book a room there directly through the hotel or through other online hotel reservation websites.)

Vancouver Restaurant Thanksgiving Specials

Below are details on what a few high-quality Vancouver restaurants typically offer as Thanksgiving specials. 2026 details are to be confirmed.

H Tasting Lounge & H2 Kitchen

Located in the Westin Bayshore Vancouver at 1601 Bayshore Drive, the H Tasting Lounge is a terrific place to eat any day of the year. In 2025 you could get a full turkey dinner to go for up to 10 people for $399. There’s also carvery to go which last year cost about $59 per person.

Another great restaurant at the Westin Bayshore is the H2 Kitchen + Bar. The place offers a weekly Sunday Supper Series in the fall that usually includes the Thanksgiving weekend. During a previous Thanksgiving, a special was a three-course meal with an appetizer, main course and dessert for just $36. This may or may not be offered again in 2026. Details are to be confirmed.

P2B Bistro & Bar

P2B Bistro & Bar goes all-out for Thanksgiving, with lunch and dinner options available for a full week in October. The restaurant is located at 1133 West Hastings Street in the Pinnacle Hotel Harbourfront.

The holiday lunch and dinner options are individual dishes to purchase separately. The appetizer offered at last year’s Thanksgiving was a roasted butternut and spiced cranberry salad, and the dessert was a deep dish apple pie with vanilla bean ice cream. Mains were either a traditional turkey dinner or a roasted mushroom ravioli.

North Vancouver Restaurant Thanksgiving Specials

Below are details on the Thanksgiving dinner specials at a couple of very good North Vancouver restaurants.

Pier 7 Restaurant + Bar

Pier 7 Restaurant + Bar is right on the water at 25 Wallace Mews in the Shipyards District. In 2025 the restaurant offered its special Thanksgiving menu from October 10th to 13th.

Entree options last year were prime rib, turkey breast and meat loaf. There were four different sides to add on to your meal, and dessert was apple crumble with pumpkin-spiced gelato. There wasn’t a set menu so each dish was priced separately.

The Lobby Restaurant & Lounge

The eatery inside the Pinnacle Hotel at the Pier at 138 Victory Ship Way is the Lobby Restaurant & Lounge. In 2025 this restaurant had a three-course meal available for Thanksgiving between October 10th and 13th.

The Thanksgiving special cost $62 per person and wine pairings cost extra. For a starter you could choose between lobster bisque, beetroot and burrata salad, and beef carpaccio. Mains included slow roasted turkey, prime rib or Haida Gwaii halibut. Everyone got to finish their meal off with pumpkin cheesecake for dessert.
