Seeking thanksgiving turkey dinner
- Thread starter Sporting
- Start date
You could look into some of the restaurants in the hotels downtown (not sure if buffets are still offered because of Covid). The White Spot have been running commercials lately offering their Thanksgiving dinner so if that’s your thing you could try that too.
The Fresgo Inn always has a complete Turkey Dinner including house made pumpkin pie 🥧

Great suggestion except, Fresgo's falls into a category that does not require a passport, so it has become a destination for Anti-Vaxxers. If you want to risk it, their food is very good.

Some restaurants changing gears
There are some restaurants that have changed their business model to avoid having to ask customers for their vaccine card.
Among them, Fresgo Inn Restaurant and Bakery in Surrey.
“I like to go with the law, but so long as everybody is included. I don’t see why some people are not included,” owner Walter Wolff told NEWS 1130 about the rules not applying to fast food restaurants.
“I changed everything around. I got no waitress, I got no liquor, I got signs all over explaining to people no liquor.”
Wolff says he didn’t have an issue with the vaccine card until he found out fast food restaurants weren’t included. He also doesn’t think vaccination is something he should be policing.
“I’m double vaccinated and I am not against it. Everybody who comes to my restaurant got to wear a mask. That’s the best I can do and stay within the law,” he added.
He says his life has been made easier by removing his liquor license to make his establishment similar to a fast food restaurant to comply with the exemptions.
Under the provincial health order, licensed restaurants and cafes (meaning they can serve liquor) as well as restaurants and cafes that offer table service (with servers) are required to check for proof of vaccination. The rule applies regardless if the food or liquor are served outside or inside.
In addition to police officers, liquor and cannabis inspectors, gambling investigators, conservation officers, and public health inspectors can enforce the public health order, according to the Ministry of Public Safety."
One can always order takeout, this place is huge inside so social distancing won’t be an issue, it will be just like it was since it reopened earlier this year, no problem.
Is this the same owner as Fresgo's on Davie street? That used to be the go to place after night clubs and discos closed. Big mushroom burgers!
Walter Wolf is still going strong, Fresgo is his passion
I just get a breast and spuds, stuffing and corn.
I can't stand brussel sprouts..... the look like mini brains.....
If I am lucky... I can eat 3 breasts....if a sweet lady is here to share my food....LOL

Whole Foods is catering my dinner this year for 6
I did that with some friends a few years ago. Whole Foods does a great job. Enjoy.
I agree. I have used the Fairmount Airport "Turkey To Go" in the past for Christmas. They do a great job as well

With all the work put into getting the meal ready and then the cleanup afterwards, the hotel or Whole Foods option looks really good to me.
Throw in a large heaping portion of brewing family dynamics, two dogs (pups) doing a 3 hour play fight and too many bottles of wine.
And then have the dinner and hope cleanup is part of the whole family event too.
What’s not to like?
Lol we must love self inflicted pain or seek it at the very least...
I can taste the memory of the fragrance of the turkey dinner slowly evolving over the course of a day with a few generations of family members around. I've decided I'd like to pick up a whole turkey, cooked to perfection including stuffing and gravy, rush it home to carve, tasting little pieces as I go. I can do the rest. I might call up Fresgo's. Thanks for input everyone, and have a good Thanksgiving weekend!
M & M sells all the fixings - Turkey breast, cranberry sauce, sweet or regular mashed potatoes, stuffing and gravy and a good selection of whatever dessert you want.
