Food and drink

Make reservations ahead of time and treat mom to a mid-morning meal at one of her favourite restaurants. If she loves brunch buffets, plan to take her to:

River Café
Mother’s Day is one of River Café‘s most popular brunches of the year, so if you’re planning on brunching in the park, know that reservations are essential. Treat mom to classics off the brunch menu, like the brioche French toast or the bison burger. At this time of year, the restaurant also has brunch dishes that highlight spring ingredients. Plan to have Mother’s Day brunch on either Saturday, May 13 or Sunday, May 14 from 10 AM to 3 PM.
