One Of America’s Best Thanksgiving Dinners Can Be Found in Midcoast Maine

One of Maine's true gems is the picturesque town of Camden.

Located in the heart of Midcoast Maine, Camden is idyllic in every way. The village is filled with charming mom-and-pop shops and restaurants. Beautiful old houses, many of which are bed and breakfasts, can be found throughout the town. The coastline is serene, especially with the numerous sailboats in and around the bay. Camden Hills State Park is just around the corner, home to the iconic Mount Battie.

It's also the home of a restaurant that one national publication says is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to holiday dining.

The popular site financial and lifestyle site Finance Buzz recently published an article on the best restaurants for a Thanksgiving dinner. The places that make the bird shine and wow you with their flavors. The site's choice for Maine was the iconic Natalie's at Camden Harbour Inn.

Natalie's is not just a place for dinner; it's an experience. The fine dining restaurant wows guests with world-class culinary creations and warm service. The menu is distinctly Maine-forward, featuring plenty of local produce and proteins. Plus, there's an entire section dedicated to lobster—talk about a true Maine meal.

However, we aren't here to talk about those menus. We're here to talk turkey.

So, why was Natalie's the state's top spot for a turkey dinner? It' because they have a special Thanksgiving menu that is out of this world. The five-course meal will blow you away with innovative dishes that all connect to America's favorite meal.

Here is a little preview of the menu from the folks at Finance Times.

With numerous courses, you can expect a crisp fall salad with apples and charred grapes, Maine lobster or duck breast, and, of course, roasted turkey with all of the fixings.

Of course, there's a lobster option. I mean, it is Maine.

Interested in trying Natalie's Thanksgiving meal? It's available for the price of $149 per person. You can even pair it with wine for an extra $93. Count me in... on both.

Congrats to Natalie's on this great publicity. It undoubtedly deserves the attention.

It's also made me extremely hungry for Thanksgiving. I just love this time of year.
