Give thanks for a bountiful harvest and stuff your face, US-style

Let’s hear it for the ‘special relationship’! With a huge number of US-expats living in London, it's no wonder many London restaurants choose to celebrate the main culinary festival of the States. Falling on the fourth Thursday of November – this year the 22nd – here’s you’re chance to have a pre-Christmas turkey dinner with our top pick of places to celebrate in London.

Christopher's

18 Wellington Street, Covent Garden, WC2E 7DD

This grand restaurant in Covent Garden has an all-day Thanksgiving menu that encompasses more choice than most.

Cut at 45 Park Lane

45 Park Lane, London, W1K 1PN

It’s only fitting that US celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck’s restaurant should do something special for Thanksgiving and at £85 (£125 with wine), we hope they’ve pulled it off. As well as their regular steaks and fries, evening meal options will include roast turkey with cranberry compote, wild mushrooms and gravy. Desert includes bourbon pecan pie or apple stuffed doughnuts with spiced, whipped cream and a cranberry and pomegranate cocktail. See more

Tentazioni

2 Mill Street, Bermondsey, London, SE1 2BD

This upmarket Italian in Bermondsey has been making its own tradition of the American feast with an Italian flavour for several years. Expect the classic roast turkey and pumpkin pie, but with an extra course of home-made pumpkin ravioli (£39.50). See more
Villandry

170 Great Portland Street, London, W1W 5QB

Despite being bought by the Belgian-based chain Le Pain Quotidien last year, Villandry (the Marylebone original) still offers a festive meal for Thanksgiving. The four course menu (£45 per person) begins with prawn cocktail or shallot tarte tatin with goat’s cheese, then moves on to roast turkey with chestnut stuffing, grilled sea bass or squash galette, before finishing with sweet pies, brownies or cheese plates and a selection of petit fours.
