If there’s anyone who deserves to be spoiled, it’s our mothers! They take care of us all the time so it’s only fitting that we take at least one day a year and make it all about them. And there’s no better way to start than by treating mom to a fabulous brunch. Here are some restaurants around Montreal that will be serving a special Mother’s Day Brunch.[image credit: iStock]
Why not take Mom to a brasserie inspired by the golden-era in Paris in the heart of Old Montreal? At Brasserie 701, there’s a set menu at $39 that starts with a selection of viennoiseries and an amuse bouche. This is followed by your choice of main dish, which includes chicken and waffles, the brasserie’s famous mac and cheese, eggs Benedict or, if mom is feeling wild, the Norwegian omelet with Jack Daniels’ smoked salmon trout!
Treat Mom to a cruise around the island of Montreal. You’ll get a breathtaking view of the city in a relaxed atmosphere, and a gourmet brunch! They have both hot and cold stations with various salads, charcuteries, seafood, and more. And don’t miss the chef’s table where your mom can customize her own omelet. Adult tickets are $59.95 and children 6 to 12 years old are $34.95.
On Mother’s Day, treat your mother to a traditional brunch at the Ritz Carlton’s Oval Room. Prices are $86 for adults and $43 for children 3 to 12 years old. You can enjoy a selection of both hot and cold dishes prepared by executive chef Johnny Porte. There will also be live musicians to add to the fun!
Le Richmond in Griffintown will be offering a Mother’s Day Brunch from 11am to 4pm. There is a set menu at $45 per person which will include three courses.

The dining room will be filled with fresh flowers and, regardless of the weather, the terrace will also be open.
If your mom loves seafood, look no further than Lucille’s Oyster Dive in NDG. Treat her to a Mother’s Day Brunch menu at $55 per person.

We absolutely love Lucille’s Oyster Dive and it’s the perfect spot for the seafood loving mom.
