While seafood is typically the star of the show at Claw, this coming Thursday the restaurant will have a dedicated menu comprising dishes that embody the spirit of autumn. Start off with some pumpkin soup and quinoa cranberry salad, head to the carving station for succulent roasted turkey and finish off with a slice of pumpkin pie. And afterward, you can try and stave off your food coma with a stroll around the Dubai Fountain area or through Dubai Mall.

Diners know to expect a bit of theatricality when dining at the restaurant inspired by Gordon Ramsay’s hit show, with red and blue teams competing to put forth the best menu for the night. For Thanksgiving, the restaurant will introduce a third team into the mix who will be preparing a special three-course ‘Black Menu’ featuring dishes such as candied yam salad, Turkey Wellington and pumpkin cheesecake. Diners can vote on who served the best menu and those who vote for the black team will be in the running to win a chef’s jacket signed by Gordon Ramsay.

This quintessentially British eatery will be hosting a special Thanksgiving menu, with its own twist. You can tuck into a classic roasted turkey alongside Yorkshire pudding and apple pie with custard. It’s a meeting of two worlds that you’re unlikely to find anywhere else.

This is the season to dine at Weslodge Saloon - the acclaimed North American restaurant celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving last month and will be putting out a four-course menu this weekend, paired with a selection of handcrafted American cocktails. Combine that with incredible views over the Dubai Canal and Dubai skyline, and you have the ingredients for a truly unique Thanksgiving dinner.

If you would prefer to dine in with the family rather than going out to eat, there are several restaurants providing a Thanksgiving takeaway option. Among them is The Duck Hook at Dubai Hills Golf Club, which will have roast turkey breast and legs, plus sausages, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and more. If you’re planning to throw a sizeable feast (with safety guidelines in place, naturally), you can order a meal for 10. Just make sure to prove at least 48 hours’ notice.
