Best Thanksgiving Day Dinners in Seoul
Updated: Dec 12
It is that time of year when 2024 is just around the corner, and preparations begin for the big end-of-year holidays, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day. While cooking can be a great way to bond with family and friends, many people might not have the time nor the tools to be able to make a traditional Thanksgiving meal. So, many restaurants in South Korea have made it a tradition to sell pre-cooked Thanksgiving meal sets that you can order in advance, and pick up on the day of the event, avoiding the hassle of cooking and cleaning your utensils. However, those restaurants typically have limits on the orders they get and they also do not deliver. Wonderful has researched a list of popular restaurants that have the best Thanksgiving dinner sets this year for your convenience. We can help book and deliver them too if needed.
If you would prefer to cook your own Turkey, we can also help secure an organic, cage-free turkey fresh from a farm in Korea, delivered in time for your event.
Their turkey-to-go set comes with a full turkey (6.5Kg), gravy sauce, cranberry sauce, clam chowder, braised Brussels sprouts, their BLT signature bread, broccoli salad, risotto, charcuterie, cheese platter, cottage pie, tomato salad, grilled garlic and grilled corn. For dessert, they provide tarts and stollen. They take reservations until December 28th, though pickups are available from November 13th to December 31st.
This take-out set comes with a turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, pumpkin pecan pie, focaccia bread, stuffing, and 1 bottle of red wine. They are selling this set from November 1st to December 31st. Reservations need to be made 3 days before the pick up date.

If you prefer dining in, Sauce in Itaewon offers a lovely Thanksgiving dinner with wine and mimosas included.

Their course menu includes Turkey, ciabatta bread, feta cheese salad, apple walnut stuffing, classic lasagne, pecan pie and a complimentary drink. They also do takeout for whole turkey orders.
