Cape Cod Christmas Dinner - Christmas Eve

P. B. Boulangerie in Wellfleet

Update: PB is also offering a Christmas takeout dinner. Boulangerie is only offering takeout from the Bistro because of the pandemic. The restaurant offers a take-out Christmas Eve dinner for two people for $250. That dinner features items like a pate de Campagne, a foie gras terrine, a seafood plateau with seven fish, and more.

The Pheasant in Dennis

Update: The Red Pheasant is now The Pheasant. With new owners and a new menu, the restaurant has changed dramatically. We have written the new owners and will update this part of the story when we get new information. For Thanksgiving, the Pheasant is doing takeout dinners for two. The Pheasant is busy planning their offering for Christmas. All orders are taken by phone at 508-385-2133.
