Set in South Loop, Mercat A La Planxa is a premier Catalan spot, serving both authentic dishes and an extensive selection of Spanish wines and cavas. Try their “a la carte” menu for dinner, or order a suckling pig 72 hours in advance for a twist on Thanksgiving.

Try saying that name three times in a row. River North’s Sushisamba Rio might imply “un menjunje” of cultures, but who’s to say it’s not worth a try? Their special Thanksgiving menu will make you trade in the Pinot Noir for a glass of Sake to go with a braised short rib gyoza, mojo-roasted organic turkey and kabocha cheesecake.
