Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, which means it's time to indulge in a festive meal of sizzling roast turkey alongside dollops of creamy mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce. From the riverside DNB Budapest to funky ÉS Bisztró, and international hotspot Hoff House, we have rounded up 5+1 places, where you can feast your evening away.

Thanksgiving falls on November 23rd this year, making tomorrow a day to spend with friends and family over a generously laid table. The holiday may have American origins (first celebrated by the Pilgrims after their first harvest in the New World in 1621) but the grateful gobbling is now recognised with festive events around the world. This includes Budapest too, so if you find yourself in the Hungarian capital and are looking to celebrate (or just indulge in a turkey-filled meal), let's plan your dinner!
