Mother's Day Brunch

Nothing says “I love you” like a little bit of extravagance. What mother doesn’t love that? If you’re stressing out over the looming holiday and feel insufficient giving your mom a simple card this Mother’s Day, then maybe it’s time to really go all out this year. Dinner is usually the way to go, but this year, brunch options are making a comeback. Brunch is perhaps the most recognized Mothers Day event—it’s not quite breakfast, it’s not quite lunch, but it does come with cantaloupe and that sounds delicious to us. So, if you’re looking for a feast of this caliber, consider a few of the suggestions SanFranciscoRestaurants.com has picked out just for you!

This year on Mother’s Day, One Market Restaurant has developed a new a-la carte menu for mothers inspired by mothers (or hungry diners, whichever), which you can view HERE. This contemporary American restaurant located in the Financial District will be serving up this special occasion menu from 10:00am-3:00pm on Mother’s Day, and the selections are looking tempting. Selections such as Eggs Benedict, Spit-Roasted Prime Rib, Golden Beet & Saffron Soup, and Petaluma Three Egg Open-Faced Omelet are just a few of the dishes waiting for you at One Market Restaurant, and this award-winning, carnivorous, fine-dining eatery promises to please any family member—especially moms.

For a more formal, prix-fixe meal, Epic Roasthouse has got your covered. This popular Fog City eatery also developed a special occasion Mother’s Day menu. You might be surprised by this rustic-meets-luxurious restaurant, but this establishment’s ever-growing popularity is a force to be reckoned with.

Ducca, an Italian restaurant in the SOMA district, is offering a chic “MOMosa Brunch!” We can only imagine what drinks will be served.  Their fabulous brunch runs early—from 6:30am-11:00am, which is perfect for the early rising mothers. Presenting innovative dishes that are both classic and contemporary, Ducca is an ideal place for foodie moms. Their breakfast options include dishes like Farm Fresh Eggs, premium meats, Country French Toast, fresh fruit, and other delightful morning staples.

Meat-free moms or guests will drool over the menu at Millennium, a restaurant dedicated to health conscious, vegetarian dishes that are aimed to please. Their special Mother’s Day Brunch is a three course prix-fixe meal, starting at $42 per person, and includes complimentary Bellini’s (a much needed glass of sparkling wine and peach puree) for all moms in attendance!  Featuring fresh home-made delectable treats like blackberry chocolate chip banana bread, strawberry cornbread, and cinnamon-sugar beignets, who said vegetarian food can’t be the most delicious of all? Millennium is a chic 5-star restaurant worthy of its title, so try something new this year. Your mom might dig the dishes!

So ditch the tacky store-bought card and show your mom you care! Start the day off with a delicious brunch with the woman that got you through the tough stuff.

Just make sure that you get your reservation on, and fast. Everyone is thinking the same thing, and you don’t want to be left out of the fun!
