Thanksgiving at Provence – Sunday, October 7 and Monday October 8
Does the thought of cooking a big Thanksgiving feast overwhelm you? Let Provence’s Chefs do all the work and you get to enjoy the results. For two days only, Provence will be offering a special three-course prix fixe Thanksgiving Dinner in addition to their regular menu. Priced at only $42 for three courses the menu starts with your choice of Daily Soup or Harvest Salad (mesclun greens, roasted squash, candied nuts, champagne vinaigrette), main is Roast Turkey (traditional stuffing, honey thyme glazed carrots and Brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes, gravy) followed by Pumpkin Cheesecake (with cinnamon whipped cream) for dessert. If you have a smaller appetite and this seems like too much food, you can order the main course a la carte for $35. Thanksgiving Dinner must be pre-booked in advance with a credit card to secure the reservation. Bonus – you don’t have to do any dishes! Call the restaurant now to reserve your seats.

Taste of Yaletown – October 18 to 28
