It’s that time of the year again. Recommendations in Taipei and New Taipei City for Christmas Turkey dinner? Going value-oriented this time, so per plate under 2,000 would be great ---

No expert but thought a decent full-spread Xmas dinner in Taiwan went for 2-4K per plate? ---

I reckon this is a good starting point. (2018) I’ve eaten the buffet at the Miramar before it was very good!

Sheraton Taipei has excellent turkeys. If you reheat them at home, you can easily stay within the budget. I usually also get some fries from McDonald’s for a more balanced meal. ---

We live. We just don’t waste and prefer to spend our money on better things. Turkey just isn’t worth $2000/plate ---

First, there is no x-mass in Taiwan unless you go for the commercial version. Second, a x-mass dinner is like any other dinner. ---

That’s not true. You can get real christmas if you hang out with Christians and Catholics. One of my best friends in Taiwan is protestant and I go see them every year in Kaohsiung. ---

> [@Kavalan](#): > > Looking for the complete spread. Night out. $1-2k per plate. Come on Jesus there must still be foreigners left on this board who live a little I just worry that 2k is not enough for what you’re looking for. Even the Germans charge 3k a head for their goose dinner and that’s not even on Christmas Eve! ---

Have a look through these: > [@Christmas Dinner at a Restaurant](https://tw.forumosa.com/t/christmas-dinner-at-a-restaurant/80992): > > I usually cook for Christmas, but am unable to do so this year. What are your recommendations for the best place to take a family out for Christmas dinner in Taipei? We prefer to stay away from pubs. I already know about Frank’s BBQ.

It’s a buffet except on the 24th and 25th, where it’s a set Christmas meal. No details on what that Christmas meal is so I didn’t go for it.

Christmas dinner should be done at home. So time to check Ubereats for specials. ---
