Are there any restaurants offering Thanksgiving dinner to American/USA tourists on Thursday, November 24th? Please share any tips.

people have told me that several of the hotels do have a tgiving theme meal. The Hyatt for sure and can't remember the others they mentioned.

We've been in Aruba for Thanksgiving the past couple of years, and noticed a number of restaurants that advertise Thanksgiving turkey dinners. The Red Parrot at the Divi does it, although it wasn't my favorite, and Madame Janette's offered it last year. I'm sure if you go to the individual restaurant sites you'll probably find some info. I'm starting to think about where I'll go this year. However, I think my plan will be to do the turkey dinner at home a few weeks prior and then go to Amadeus for the holiday.

Ate thanksgiving dinner at La Cabana last year (November 2010). We LOVE everything about La Cabana, but were stunned by the horribleness of their TG feast! We heard many positive reviews of Chalet Suisse (next door) about their Thanksgiving offering. Our TG recommendation is ANYTHING but La Cabana in 2011!

We have spent many years in Aruba at Thanksgiving and went to the Hyatt for many years. It started getting really pricey and truly there was too much on the buffet and very crowded. We have gone to The Manchebo french steakhouse for the past 4 years and have been very happy and delighted. The food was great and it was a traditional Thanksgiving Dinner buffet. really affordable and really good. the service was great. It was a buffet so you had all you can eat. Real Carved Turkey!! and all the trimmings and really good desserts. I would recommend it. Enjoy!
