Let’s be honest: Moms are always worth the splurge.
Given all their hard work that goes unnoticed, it’s a good thing we have Mothers Day (which falls on Sunday, May 13 this year) to remind us to appreciate the moms of the world. It’s also a good thing that Philadelphia restaurants have got you covered for brunch and dinner on Mom’s special day.
And some non-restaurants (see below) are offering exciting brunch packages with activities attached.
Below, we present our top picks for Mothers Day meals:
• Bistrot La Minette: Chef Peter Woolsey has put together a $40 prix fixe menu that he’ll be offering all day. The three courses include a host of classic French recipes, prepared with his signature decadent flair. Try the mustard-braised rabbit with homemade tagliatelle, or the salade savoyarde, with lardons, potatoes and sumptuous Comté cheese.
• Hyatt Regency: The Hyatt Regency at Penn’s Landing is serving an elaborate Mothers Day brunch, with something for everyone — and then some. The $50-per-person meal ($25 for children 12 and under) includes a seafood station with seared tuna, a carving station with grilled flank steak and much, much more. Best of all, everyone’s favorite part of the meal is given the royal treatment, with more than a dozen dessert offerings including chocolate fondue and classic crème brulee.
• Balcony: If Mom is looking to get more decadent this year, the new restaurant at the Doubletree Hotel on Avenue of the Arts is offering a buffet of comfort food favorites. On the $34 menu ($15 for kids) are grilled cheese with tomato soup, homestyle roast turkey sandwiches and a create-your-own mac and cheese bar.
