    10 Friendsgiving-Friendly Boise Restaurant Ideas

    Filed under:

    Food

    Hi, I'm Marissa Lovell, a writer and lover of all things local. So glad you're here.

    Hosting Friendsgiving this year, but not excited about cooking for a dozen? These Friendsgiving restaurants in Boise take bigger groups, have a great vibe, or offer a private room. Some share group details online and some need a call or email first, so here are ten ideas with how to book each one. Double check hours and availability before you lock in your plans.

    1. Book a private room at Tavolàta

    Tavolàta has two private rooms, one for up to 12 and a larger one for up to 20. Family style pasta is the move for a big group, and the fresh pasta made in the open kitchen is worth the trip.

    2. Reserve the cellar at Red Feather Lounge

    Red Feather Lounge has a private cellar that seats 10 to 20 for dinner. The downtown spot is upscale but casual and lively, so it works for a Friendsgiving that feels like a night out.

    3. Share plates at House of the Little Pig

    House of the Little Pig is built for sharing, since every dish is meant to be passed around the table. They offer a private dining room, a patio and whole restaurant buyouts. Groups over 10 should call ahead, especially during holiday party season, so reach out early!

    4. Rent the Cottage Greenhouse at Susina

    Susina’s Cottage Greenhouse is a private space that seats 7 to 16 for a three-course plated dinner. It’s $75 per person, with a choice of pasta or salad, an entree and a dessert. Plan on at least two hours at the table, and let them know about dietary needs in advance. Susina is open Wednesday through Saturday evenings.

    5. Raise a glass at Parcero Wine Bar

    Parcero Wine Bar in Garden City is a Friendsgiving for wine lovers, with a curated wine selection and food menu made for sharing. They can host up to ten without a rental agreement and have plenty of seating options, including a cozy living-room style section with a beautiful fireplace. For a bigger group, they offer a private tasting room or the whole venue. Email info@parcerowinebar.com to get started.

    6. Settle in at Tiner’s Alley

    Tiner’s Alley is the bar behind The Avery, centered around a restored historic Brunswick bar. Parties of 7 or fewer can walk in, and groups of 8 or more can email dining@theaveryboise.com to reserve. Order the Caesar salad and a few shareables for the table. Heads up that they’re closed Sunday and Monday.

    7. Grab a big table at The Wylder

    The Wylder takes reservations on Resy, and you can book a table for up to 12. It’s a stylish spot for pizza and cocktails with the whole crew.

    8. Keep it low key at Matlack’s

    Matlack’s is easy on the wallet, with big tables, outdoor seating and tons of local and regional beers on tap. Call ahead to see how many you can seat together.

    9. Switch things up at Alyonka Russian Cuisine

    Alyonka Russian Cuisine is a fun way to change up the Friendsgiving menu with homestyle Russian comfort food. Reservations are suggested, so call ahead with your group size.

    10. Bring Friendsgiving home

    Hosting at your place? Let someone else handle part of the menu. Americana Pizza serves New York style pizza for pickup or delivery, including vegan crust options, and pizza at your house is a classic Friendsgiving move! Another idea: Red Bench Pizza offers $50 Family Style Meals with pasta, bread and salad for four. Pick out bottles for the table at House of Wine, a downtown wine shop and tasting space, and stock the fridge at Hops and Bottles, which has 300+ beers and cans from around the world.
