Buy your menus on the dedicated page!

Although this is an American anniversary, it can certainly become an excellent opportunity to celebrate gratitude, a universal and very powerful act that makes us reflect on our lives and focus on the beautiful things that surround us every day.

For Americans, Thanksgiving Day is the most important holiday of the year and always falls on the fourth Thursday of November.
In America, the tradition consists of gathering around the table and enjoying the famous turkey to give thanks for what we have.

You will be able to experience the tradition of Thanksgiving by enjoying the typical dishes of this day and taking part in a recreational activity in which you can show your gratitude.
