We’ll also let you in on a little secret. Staying in a vacation rental from Accommodations in Telluride will keep you central to these restaurants while also giving you the option of creating your own Thanksgiving feast. Is your tummy rumbling yet? Let’s get into these top spots for Thanksgiving in Telluride!
Allred’s
You can’t come to Telluride and not visit Allred’s. It’s like having Thanksgiving dinner on the mountaintop. Getting here is an adventure itself, since you get to ride the gondola to the dining room. Satisfy your appetite and sense of adventure at Allred’s! Choose either the signature three-course prix-fixe menu or a beautifully crafted traditional Thanksgiving dinner filled with those holiday flavors you can’t get enough of. Indulge in desserts like Valrhona chocolate mousse, sticky toffee pudding cake, vanilla crème brûlée, vegan blueberry-cashew cheesecake, or Palisade peach cobbler. We highly recommend dining at Allred’s this Thanksgiving, but keep in mind that seating is limited so reservations are a must.
Altezza at The Peaks
Next up is Altezza at The Peaks, another elevated restaurant with spectacular views as you dine. They offer a three-course prix-fixe traditional Thanksgiving dinner with holiday favorites prepared by their team of kitchen experts. If anyone in your group (or you) is in the mood for something other than the Thanksgiving classics, you can order from the limited a la carte menu. Having Thanksgiving dinner at Altezza’s in Telluride will be a holiday meal you’ll never forget.
Black Iron Kitchen
Black Iron Kitchen inside the Madeline Hotel has an assortment of dishes full of Rocky Mountain flavor. They too have a fixed Thanksgiving dinner menu including turkey and other local protein sources, hearty sides that are presented in a creative way, and desserts that complement your meal. Celebrate Thanksgiving in true Telluride style with a meal at Black Iron Kitchen.
Steamies Burger Bar
Sometimes, even on Thanksgiving, we are just not in the mood for turkey. Or you might be seeking a Thanksgiving dinner option that’s a little less formal and more relaxed. Visit Steamies Burger Bar for an out of the box Thanksgiving dinner. Enjoy made-to-order burgers and fresh fries with a milkshake on the side. It’s the perfect option for those who will be spending their Thanksgiving skiing, hiking, or exploring and just want a quick grab and go Thanksgiving dinner. A juicy burger from Steamies will hit the spot.
Cook Your Own Thanksgiving Dinner
If you love Thanksgiving and can’t imagine a non-homecooked meal for Thanksgiving, it sounds like you need to book a stay with Accommodations in Telluride.
Why? Because when you stay in one of our rentals, you’ll have everything you need to make the Thanksgiving dinner of your dreams. All you need to do is stock up on your Thanksgiving ingredients at spots like Kroger City Market or Natural Grocers for specialty and organic options. Any additional last minute food-related or other needs you have can always be picked up at the local Target and Walmart. A stress-free Thanksgiving in Telluride is waiting for you.
Next, after you’ve acquired the goods, start meal-planning and preparing in the gourmet kitchen of your rental. Get that turkey soaking in a brine, whip those mashed potatoes with the ultimate finesse, and have a competition on who makes the best macaroni and cheese. And it wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without your Grandma’s signature dish, which she can make right alongside you in your Telluride vacation rental.
Before and after the meals are made, relax and spend quality time with friends and family in the spacious living and dining areas. Step out onto your private deck or balcony to get an even better view of the snowy mountains. It’s easy to carry on your Thanksgiving traditions here. Watch sports in the living room, have a glass of wine and a chat session with your favorite cousin by the fireplace, or take a walk after dinner around the neighborhood.
