Get Your Turkey and Pie Fix at These Three La Quinta Restaurants
November is the perfect time of year to visit the Coachella Valley, with temperatures averaging around 75-80 degrees, and there’s no better place for a fall getaway than La Quinta Resort & Club. For the best deal during the most wonderful time of year, book their Vintage Holiday Special and stay between Nov. 19 and Dec. 31. This package includes daily breakfast for two at Twenty6 restaurant, two holiday cocktails of your choice from Morgan’s in the Desert, a special keepsake ornament, and a vintage “It’s a Wonderful Life” script, which was written at La Quinta Resort by Frank Capra.
Between Nov. 24 and Dec. 24, the hotel will be roasting chestnuts for purchase and hosting cooking demonstrations led by Executive Chef Andrew Cooper. Holiday movie classics on the Lawn and Under the Stars will be ready for viewing every Saturday between Nov. 25 and Dec. 24. But before you start getting your tinsel in a tangle, get ready for a Thanksgiving feast! La Quinta Resort & Club’s three on-site restaurants are serving up Turkey Day favorites that’ll leave you feeling full and festive.
Thanksgiving at Morgan’s in the Desert
Thanksgiving at Morgan’s in the Desert has all the comforting elements we love in a home-cooked meal but one you probably wouldn’t be able to cook at home. This local favorite delivers exquisite modern cuisine in a classy yet cozy setting with the freshest ingredients, primarily sourced from local farms. Their Thanksgiving menu features seasonal ingredients reimagined into unique dishes like the persimmon salad with mustard greens and hazelnut goat cheese and the Atlantic salmon with seared pumpkin and butternut squash-infused saffron broth. Other menu highlights include the roasted turnip, butternut squash soup and herbed turkey breast with pomme purée, braised root vegetables, roasted fennel, candied apples, sourdough stuffing and turkey au jus. For a Thanksgiving evening full of savory and satisfying dishes, Morgan’s is the place to be, whether enjoying an intimate meal with your significant other or a full-on family affair.

Thanksgiving at Adobe Grill
If traditional American fare isn’t your holiday vibe this year, Adobe Grill has you covered. This beautiful Mexican eatery has a spicy personality that always delivers in terms of ambiance. Colorful decor and old-world accents like folk art wood carvings set the stage for an authentic dining experience only matched by the flavorful cuisine. With plenty of space inside and an al fresco dining area, Adobe Grill can accommodate small and large parties. The lively decor and delicious margaritas will keep the good times going as you dig into dishes like the Ensalada de Manzana with butter lettuce, apples and pumpkin brittle (yum!). Another Thanksgiving must-try this year is the bold and smokey Barbacoa de Borrego entree, made with braised lamb and a combination of chili peppers and aromatic spices, served with rice, beans and corn tortillas. If you’re one to keep things classic, however, don’t miss the Pavo Tradicional: turkey roulade, potatoes, stuffing, baby vegetables, gravy and cranberry gastrique. Each of these items will be on Adobe Grill’s pre-fixe menu but will also be available a la carte.

Thanksgiving at Twenty6
Twenty6 has all your favorite comfort foods with an innovative modern twist! This American-style bistro uses locally sourced and seasonal ingredients to create imaginative and savory dishes. The interior is modern and moody in the best way, and this Thanksgiving, Twenty6 will feature a prix fixe menu ($85 per person) with mouthwatering items like a hearty butternut squash velouté soup with sage and crispy pancetta that tastes like a warm bowl of cheer. The main course, featuring maple glazed turkey breast, sweet potato mash, bacon Brussels sprouts, sage stuffing, cranberry compote and house-made gravy, will give you lots to be thankful for. If you happen to have room, indulge in the spiced pumpkin pie custard with vanilla crumble, vanilla pumpkin anglaise, and chantilly cream!
