Avocado Grill

Chef Julien Gremaud’s West Palm Beach hotspot will serve up a curated three-course prix fixe menu ($65 per person) of crowd favorites and Thanksgiving staples from 1-9 p.m.

Roasted pumpkin bisque, mushroom-edamame truffle dumplings, broiled oyster scampi with chile-garlic lemon butter, and grilled octopus with chorizo, fingerling potatoes, Marcona almonds, and smoked paprika aioli lead the appetizer selection.

For those aiming to keep their main traditional, a turkey dinner with mashed potatoes, herb stuffing, grilled vegetables, roasted spiced sweet potatoes, and cranberry sauce is a winner. Guests looking to venture away from Thanksgiving fare can feast on sweet potato and coconut-crusted mahi with a sweet corn purée, Fresno vinaigrette, and edamame succotash; Moroccan chicken tagine with apricots, carrots, plums, and almonds over couscous; or farro and kale risotto with carrots, fennel, sun-dried tomatoes, coconut milk, and sprouts.

Finish sweet with a slice of pecan pie, avocado Nutella mousse, and or mango Key Lime pie.
