Thanksgiving Menu @ Pelican Club

Thanksgiving 2017 Pelican Club

No restaurant quite reaches the variety, value, and availability that the Pelican Club does. Any special event that comes along during the year finds Richard Hughes and his wide-ranging menus. This is particularly true of the holiday season. For the first time, the Pelican Club is offering a Thanksgiving Day dinner. The cornucopian aspect of the menu's four courses is matched by no other restaurant. Five soups, eight appetizers, eight entrees , and five desserts come together in a $58 four-course dinner (plus tax and tip, of course). That pays for a choice of soups, a , with only a few small upcharges for the really fancy stuff. Reservations are essential, and begin at 11:30 a.m. Continuous seating from then until 6:30 p.m. I would strongly urge you make reservations as soon as possible. You and I are not the only ones who know about this secret. The restaurant is on the corner of Exchange Alley and Bienville Street, across from the Monteleone Hotel's parking garage.
