Thanksgiving Dinner in Washington DC
At Cafe Dupont
Maybe you’re travelling with family, and looking for somewhere to host your special meal. Maybe you’re visiting the states, and the whole concept of Thanksgiving is completely new to you. Or maybe you’d rather take the pressure off your own kitchen, and enjoy a Thanksgiving meal in a beautiful restaurant (with none of the washing up to worry about afterwards).
Café Dupont have announced their Thanksgiving day menu, and it’s a delicious combination of traditional dishes and something a little different. There’s the classic slow roasted turkey, of course, cooked to perfection with a series of tempting sides. You can feast on Brussel Sprouts, Mashed Sweet Potatoes, Apple-Sage Stufing, Homemade Herb Biscuits, Green Beans and, of course, Cranberry Sauce.
Fall flavours play a huge part in the menu, with roasted root vegetables, butternut squash soup and hints of pecan throughout. Dessert will be a real treat, with a choice of two devilish sweets on offer.
Thanksgiving Dinner is a hugely important time in the year, when we get together to share a meal with those we love and think about what we’re grateful for. At Café Dupont, you can enjoy a perfectly cooked dinner in a warm, friendly environment, with impeccable wines and maybe even a cocktail in the bar. Bar Dupont is well known for its cocktails, and there will even be a few holiday specials launching in the next few weeks.
Here’s the menu for this year’s feast…
