Annual Thanksgiving Dinner!
DA Austria's Annual Thanksgiving Dinner!
We'll meet again this year on the rooftop of the Zoku Hotel for a delicious meal and good company to celebrate community in 2025.
Please join us for our annual Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings and bring your family and friends.
This year, we will celebrate on Thanksgiving Day — Thursday, November 27.
The restaurant manager, Jared, and the chef preparing our traditional dinner, Liz, are fellow Americans—both from California! We love Zoku for its modern and homey atmosphere, a delicious spread and, of course, Liz's experience hosting Thanksgiving dinners for large groups. And even post-dinner live football in an adjacent room.
Price: 57 euros per adult, 22 euros for children 12 and under, plus a minimum donation of $5 per adult and $1 per child to reserve your spot and receive raffle tickets.
Please follow the directions below:
