Halloween isn’t even here yet, but it’s never too early to plan your Thanksgiving dinner, especially if you would rather leave the cooking to someone else. These three Orlando restaurants are putting their own delicious spin on Thanksgiving, Thursday, November 26, 2026, from Venezuelan holiday traditions to a festive brunch and a family style Italian feast.
Mordisco Steakhouse: Thanksgiving With a Latin Twist
New to Orlando’s International Drive dining scene this year, Mordisco Steakhouse is bringing a taste of Venezuelan holiday traditions to the Thanksgiving table. It’s a great choice for families who want to celebrate with Latin flavors.
The holiday menu features Hallacas, a beloved Venezuelan holiday staple made with seasoned corn dough filled with a savory stew of beef, pork and chicken, all wrapped in plantain leaves. You will also find:
- Pan de Jamón (traditional Venezuelan ham bread)
- Ensalada de Gallina (Venezuelan chicken salad)
- Pernil (roasted pork shoulder)
- Wood fired Carne en Vara
Pricing: Individual holiday platters are $29 to $42, and a Family Holiday Feast for Six is $180 to $230. Hallacas, sides and meats are also available à la carte.
How to order: Thanksgiving is pre order pickup only, with no dine in service. Orders must be placed by 2 p.m. on Wednesday, November 25, and pickup is from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day. Order online through Mordisco or message them on WhatsApp at (407) 286-0031.
