Heritage Turkey with Pecan Challah Studding, Braised Lamb Shank, NS Halibut & Pie Sampler
Halifax has unveiled its exquisite Thanksgiving offerings with a menu designed to delight the palate. Executive Chef Seadon Shouse has created an elevated holiday feast that honors Thanksgiving traditions from local heritage turkey and pecan challah stuffing to braised lamb shank, Nova Scotia halibut and freshly baked pies. Guests can enjoy the celebration at Halifax overlooking the Hudson or bring the restaurant’s Thanksgiving culinary feast home.
Executive Chef Seadon Shouse has created a Thanksgiving Day prix fixe menu that combines the flavors everyone looks forward to on Thanksgiving with some distinct Halifax twists. The three-course dinner is $85 per person and $45 for children 12 and under and will be served from 1 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 26.
“Thanksgiving has traditional foods that everyone loves but that doesn’t mean you can’t have add in new flavors to vary the taste of a traditional celebration,” said Shouse. “And the local fresh variety of vegetables and legumes make this a hearty and healthy meal.”
Guests begin with a choice of Harvest Salad, with roasted squash, watercress, beets, pecans, feta and cranberry vinaigrette; Potato Leek Soup, with leek ash oil and smoked ham; Tuna Crudo, with pickled cucumber and jalapeño, puffed rice and kelp emulsion; or Turkey Confit & Vegetable Tart, with pear-apple chutney and scallion yogurt.
Entrée choices include Local Heritage Turkey Breast, served with pecan challah stuffing, sweet potato duchess, confit leg and cranberry chutney; Sweet Potato Cavatelli, with grilled poblano, shaved Brussels sprouts, Gulf shrimp and house-made nduja; Braised Lamb Shank, with couscous, roasted cauliflower, pickled pearl onions and crispy kale; and Nova Scotia Halibut, with Carolina Gold rice, butternut squash, Brussels leaves and red pepper emulsion.
Family-style sides keep some of Thanksgiving’s most beloved dishes on the table, including Pumpkin Mac & Cheese with crispy shallots, Herb Roasted Fall Vegetables, and Mashed Potatoes with turkey gravy and chives.
For dessert, guests can choose a Fresh Pie Trio of apple, pumpkin and bourbon pecan with whipped cream and spiced crème anglaise, or Fall Leaves Panna Cotta, with lemon, maple, cranberry, fluff, gluten-free shortbread crumble and whipped cream. Special Thanksgiving bottles of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir will be available for $40.
A Culinary Thanksgiving to Go
For those who would rather gather at home – and leave the cooking to Halifax – the restaurant is offering a complete Thanksgiving Take-Out Feast for $275, serving four.
The feast includes Potato Leek Soup, Harvest Vegetable Salad, Local Heritage Turkey Breast, Mashed Potatoes, Pecan Challah Stuffing, Turkey Leg Gravy, Herbed Fall Vegetables, Pumpkin Mac & Cheese and Cranberry Chutney, plus a choice of Apple Crumble, Bourbon Pecan, Mixed Berry or Pumpkin pie.
“The best part of Thanksgiving is gathering together, and not worrying about what’s still in the oven,” said General Manager Weng Lee. “With the take-home dinner, we’ve done the cooking so our guests can set the table, open a bottle of wine and enjoy the celebration in style.”
Guests can add Braised Lamb Shank with couscous and roasted cauliflower or Sweet Potato Cavatelli with Gulf shrimp for $42 each. Additional freshly baked pies are $25, and bottles of house red, white or sparkling wine are $35.
