We all love our moms, but sometimes things just get away from us and we forget to make a reservation to celebrate her on her special day. Brunch reservations for the whole family are filling up fast, but there’s still a few good ones you can snag, and Mom will never have to know you only booked a week in advance. Here are some great restaurants with availability for Mother’s Day brunch this coming Sunday. You can thank us later!
Gardënia
Bar at Gardënia. PC: @craftycookienewyorkFor some fresh, Spanish-influenced brunch vibes, check out Gardënia. The simple white-and-pastel décor is lit by a massive skylight, giving the whole restaurant a bright, springy feel. Brunch at Gardënia wouldn’t be complete without their famous Maple-Lavender Duck Bacon, and you should totally try one of their brunch cocktails – we recommend the Mediterranean Sangria and Lavender Margarita.
Miss Paradis
Rosé at Miss Paradis. PC: @missymoveIf your mom’s a woman of the world, take her to Miss Paradis where they fuse Asian, Mediterranean, and classic New York flavors to make the ideal brunch menu. Try one of their scrumptious brunch dishes like their eggs benny with pastrami salmom, Adir’s shaksuka, or one of their brunch bowls if you’re feeling something a bit lighter. And of course, don’t skip out on the Rosé!
La Pecora Bianca
Brunch spread at La Pecora Bianca. PC: @carissa_burtonYour mom will swoon when she hears your actually-Italian waiter read the brunch specials too her at La Pecora Bianca. They’ve even got a special Mother’s Day brunch prix-fixe which includes an app, an entrée and a dessert for $50. Start with one of their light salads or an avocado toast to prepare yourself for a hearty pasta or their lamb burger. Then, finish up with one of their classic Italian desserts.
Tarallucci E Vino
Panino at Tarallucci E Vino. PC: @leahcpellIf you find yourself near Union Square this Mother’s Day, make your way over to Tarallucci E Vino for great service and a great brunch. At Tarallucci, they make everything in house – all the breads, pastas, and sauces included – and you can tell when you bite into your cornetti, panino, or gnocchi. Their brunch special is also insane: an entrée, a pastry, coffee or espresso, and unlimited mimosas for an hour, all for just $29, yes please!
High Street on Hudson
Bagel at High Street on Hudson. PC: @kriistenledererFor one of the best brunches in the West Village, head to High Street on Hudson. They source only the best ingredients and you can tell by how rich the flavors are. For the vegetarian, try the Forager sandwich with mushrooms, eggs, and veggies with a slice of Swiss, or order the pastrami hash sandwich if your usual go-to brunch is at your local deli. For dessert, go for the chocolate chai sammy, it’s basically an Oreo’s older, hotter brother.
Ai Fiori
Strip Loin at Ai Fiori. PC: @frenchrestaurantweekTreat your Mom to something truly special this Mother’s Day by taking her to Ai Fiori for their Mother’s Day brunch. Everything at this Michelin-starred restaurant is elevated and executed to perfection – don’t be surprised to find a dollop of caviar on your scrambled eggs.
