Thanksgiving 2026 falls on Thursday 26 November, and this year you can celebrate Thanksgiving in Bali at Jemme and Kilo Kitchen in Seminyak, The Cafe at The Mulia in Nusa Dua, Café Smörgås in Sanur, Ina Ré in Canggu, Noema Resort in Pererenan and Bali Beach Glamping in Tabanan. Between them there’s a classic set menu, a fusion menu for two, a four-night hotel buffet, a turkey dinner with a kids’ rate, a Friendsgiving feast, a neighbourhood market with a long table dinner and a beachside dinner you can turn into an overnight stay, with options running from 25 to 29 November.
That’s good news, because Thanksgiving in Bali otherwise takes a little planning. Turkey isn’t exactly a local staple, nobody gets the day off, and doing it yourself means tracking down a bird and wrestling it into a villa oven that was really only built for a chicken. Below are our picks for where to let someone else do the carving, with dates, prices where available and booking details for each. Holiday tables go quickly, so book early.
- Best for a classic sit-down roast: Jemme, Seminyak. A cocktail and three courses in an air-conditioned dining room, with a pianist playing through the meal.
- Best for lunch: Jemme, Seminyak. The only one on our list serving Thanksgiving at lunch as well as dinner.
- Best for a community feel : Noema Resort, Pererenan. A local market, live music, a print-making workshop and a long table dinner on the front yard.
- Best for flexible dates: The Cafe at The Mulia, Nusa Dua. The Thanksgiving buffet runs every evening from 26 to 29 November.
- Best for families: Café Smörgås, Sanur. Roast turkey with all the sides and dessert, with a separate rate for kids aged 4 to 12.
- Best for something different: Ina Ré, Canggu. A Friendsgiving sharing menu with a smoked turkey Wellington at its centre.
- Best for making a night of it: Bali Beach Glamping, Tabanan. Long table dinner by the beach, with a Stay & Dine package that includes breakfast the next morning.
- Best for fusion fans: Kilo Kitchen, Seminyak. A four-course festive set menu in the restaurant’s Latin American and Asian style.
THANKSGIVING at JEMME, SEMINYAK
Jemme is doing Thanksgiving properly this year, which in Seminyak is rarer than you’d think. On Thursday 26 November, the chandeliered, air-conditioned dining room swaps its usual roasts for a Thanksgiving set menu, served at both lunch and dinner: a cocktail, then three courses. Start with a hot cinnamon apple brandy cider or, if the Bali heat wins, a frozen butternut spice cocktail. Then it’s roasted butternut squash and pear salad with spiced walnut vinaigrette, or a smooth cauliflower, pear and fennel soup.
The main event is a traditional roast turkey with all the trimmings: gravy, cranberry sauce, roast potato, creamy cauliflower cheese, green beans with bacon and corn bread. Not a turkey person? The roast pork comes with apple sauce, crunchy creamy leeks with bacon and enough sides to justify skipping breakfast. Cinnamon apple pie with vanilla ice cream rounds things off, while resident pianist Bebe Alamsyah plays and sings. At IDR 795,000++ per person, it’s a lot easier than roasting a turkey in a villa kitchen, and considerably cooler.
Insider tip: The lunch seating is the easier option if you’re bringing young kids.
Dates, Times & Pricing
Thursday 26 November 2026, lunch and dinner.
Thanksgiving set menu: IDR 795,000++ per person

PASAR THANKSGIVING at NOEMA RESORT, PERERENAN
Noema Resort is taking Thanksgiving out of the dining room and onto its front yard. On Saturday 28 November, Pasar Thanksgiving: A Neighborhood Feast turns the space into a local market, with stalls from the likes of Nasgero, Ban-Go’s bakmie ayam, Somari’s island-style baked goods, Mad Burger and Snoo Donuts. Between snacks, there’s live music and art from Putu Septa and Greybox Duo, vinyl sets in the lobby from Millers Records, and a print-making workshop by Volen Art Space.
The evening centres on a long table dinner cooked by Paparempa and Mamaloma, where you’re likely to end up sharing a table with people who live just down the road. Nobody’s promising a turkey, but if your idea of Thanksgiving is a crowd, good food and a reason to linger, this is the more relaxed way to do it.
Insider tip: It falls two days after Thanksgiving, so it works well as a second round if you’ve already done turkey on Thursday.
Dates & Times
Saturday 28 November 2026, afternoon to evening.
Book: info.noema@jhlcollections.com / noemapererenan.jhlcollections.com/en / Jl. Pantai Pererenan No. 126, Pererenan
THANKSGIVING at THE CAFE, THE MULIA, NUSA DUA
Thanksgiving at The Mulia runs four nights rather than one. Roasted Classics, a dedicated Thanksgiving buffet of traditional roasts and all the accompaniments you’d hope for, is served at The Cafe every evening from 26 to 29 November. That’s quietly useful if half your group doesn’t land until Friday, and nobody has to cook, carve or wash up. It all happens in one of Bali’s biggest hotel buffets, with Japanese, Korean, Southeast Asian, Indian and Western cooking stations and an entire room given over to dessert.
Insider tip: If Thursday is fully booked, the same buffet runs through Sunday, so ask for Friday or Saturday instead.
Dates & Times
Thursday 26 to Sunday 29 November 2026, dinner from 6pm to 11pm
Book: WhatsApp +1 878 888 2504 (messages only) / +62 361 301 7777 / cafe.reception@themulia.com / Jl. Raya Nusa Dua Selatan, Kawasan Sawangan, Nusa Dua
THANKSGIVING at CAFÉ SMÖRGÅS, SANUR
A Thanksgiving turkey dinner a day late is still a Thanksgiving turkey dinner, and nobody far from home is likely to quibble. On Friday 27 November, Café Smörgås is serving roast turkey with all the sides, condiments and dessert, and the pricing is refreshingly simple: it’s nett, so there are no ++ surprises when the bill arrives. The café, opened by a Swedish family in 2006, has been part of Sanur ever since.
Insider tip: Thanksgiving bookings go through a separate WhatsApp number from regular tables, so don’t message the usual one.
Dates, Times & Pricing
Friday 27 November 2026, from 6pm
Adults: IDR 400,000 nett. Kids aged 4 to 12: IDR 150,000 nett
Book and pay by Sunday 22 November
Book: WhatsApp +62 813 5374 9982 / Jl. Danau Tamblingan No. 56, Sanur
FRIENDSGIVING at INA RÉ, CANGGU
Over in Canggu, Ina Ré at Desa Kitsuné is calling it Friendsgiving, which is fair enough, since most people in Bali on 26 November are celebrating with friends rather than family anyway. The Mediterranean and Latin-leaning kitchen has built a sharing menu, available à la carte or as a set. The turkey arrives as a smoked Wellington, koji-brined and wrapped in pastry with sage and shiitake stuffing and miso gravy, with a honey-glazed pork ribeye for anyone who’d rather skip the bird. Around it come duck “stuffing” gyozas, foie gras on brioche French toast, truffle mac and cheese and a purple sweet potato pie to finish. It’s not exactly your grandmother’s Thanksgiving, but then she was never in Canggu.
Dates, Times & Pricing
Thursday 26 November 2026, from 6pm
Friendsgiving set menu: IDR 890,000++, minimum two people.
À la carte also available, mains from IDR 350,000++

THANKSGIVING at BALI BEACH GLAMPING, TABANAN
Out on the west coast in Tabanan, Bali Beach Glamping is calling its celebration Thanksgiving by the Sea, and the setting does most of the talking. On Thursday 26 November, dinner is a festive feast made for sharing, served at long tables on the lawn under woven lanterns, with the waves just beyond.
It’s pitched squarely at families, with a kids’ price of IDR 197,500++ alongside IDR 395,000++ for adults. The more tempting option, given the drive, is the Stay & Dine package from IDR 2,090,000, which covers a night by the beach, Thanksgiving dinner for two and breakfast the next morning. After a full plate of turkey, not having to get back in the car is something to be thankful for in itself.
Insider tip: Tabanan is a fair drive from Canggu or Seminyak, so the Stay & Dine package saves you a late-night trip home.
Dates, Times & Pricing
Thursday 26 November 2026, dinner.
Thanksgiving dinner: IDR 395,000++ per adult, IDR 197,500++ per child.
Stay & Dine package: from IDR 2,090,000, includes one night, breakfast and Thanksgiving dinner for two.

THANKSGIVING at KILO KITCHEN, SEMINYAK
Kilo Kitchen skips the turkey altogether and does Thanksgiving in its own Latin American and Asian accent instead. From Wednesday 25 to Friday 27 November, the festive set menu is built for two and runs over four courses, starting with a wasabi tuna tartare canapé and a roasted pumpkin and coconut soup sharpened with ginger, lemongrass and lime. The centrepiece is a miso-mole braised beef short rib on creamed corn with roasted pumpkin and coriander-lime salsa, served in a portion meant to be shared from the middle of the table, alongside sautéed vegetables with smoked beef and bread. Date sticky toffee pudding with coconut toffee and caramelised banana closes things out.
At IDR 1,000,000++ for two, it’s designed for couples, but a table of six simply orders three sets. Drinks aren’t included, though the kitchen suggests The Venesia, a gin, Campari and yuzu spritz that cuts nicely through all that richness.
Insider tip: It runs over three nights, starting the day before Thanksgiving, so it’s a good fallback if Thursday is already full elsewhere.
Dates, Times & Pricing
Wednesday 25 to Friday 27 November 2026.
Festive set menu: IDR 1,000,000++ for two guests. Order in multiples for larger groups
Pair with The Venesia cocktail: IDR 125,000++ per glass
Reservations required

Final Sip
Thanksgiving in Bali was never going to look exactly like the one back home, and that’s no bad thing. Whether you’re after a set menu with a pianist in Seminyak, a four-night buffet in Nusa Dua, a family turkey dinner in Sanur or a turkey Wellington shared among friends in Canggu, the point is the same: a full table, good company and someone else doing the washing up. Just don’t leave the booking until the week before. And once the turkey has settled, Christmas is only a month away.
