With Thanksgiving right around the corner, plenty of reliable D.C. restaurants plan to celebrate the annual American holiday properly with options for carryout feasts or sit-down spreads.

Now that COVID-19 restrictions have eased this year, families and groups are invited to enjoy multi-course or a la carte menus centered around turkey and all the trimmings. There’s also French, Spanish, and Italian takes on typical Turkey Day sides and mains, too.

Let local chefs handle the work this Thanksgiving and consider these to-go and dine-in options around town.

Health experts consider dining out to be a high-risk activity for the unvaccinated; the latest data about the delta variant indicates that it may pose a low-to-moderate risk for the vaccinated, especially in areas with substantial transmission. The latest CDC guidance is here; find a COVID-19 vaccination site here.
