Thanksgiving in Ann Arbor: 5 Great Choices For Dining Out (2024)

The Quarter Bistro and Tavern’s typically Cajun-inspired menu is going a bit more mainstream for Thanksgiving. Autumn-appropriate appetizers, such as a mushroom tart with goat cheese and puff pastry, give way to an entrée choice of turkey with traditional sides, duck with butternut squash risotto and dried cherries, or butternut squash ravioli in a burnt butter cider sauce. Apple pie a la mode and pumpkin cheesecake round out dessert. Prices a la carte.
