It’s that time of year again when we celebrate the superwoman in our lives – our mums! While we think our Mums deserve appreciation everyday, Mother’s Day is the perfect excuse to pamper them and make them feel extra special. From brunches to special dinners with gifts, check out our guide to giving your mum the star treatment she deserves.
Free-flow bubbly brunches
Mercato by Jean-Georges’ new family-style brunch menu is the perfect way to enjoy the special occasion with your loved ones. Complete with hearty sharing dishes such as the Crispy Chicken Sandwich (HK$198) and Sunny Side Up, Egg House-Made Sausage Pizza (HK$188), this is a great option for large groups. If you are looking to incorporate some fizz into your celebrations, opt for the bubbly experience by adding two hours of free-flow Champagne Mumm (HK$258).
For those looking for a healthier option, Gaucho’s new revitalized brunch menu (from HK$350pp) offers the perfect balance of refreshing dishes while retaining its authentic Argentinean flavours.
Alternatively, treat Mum to a lavish brunch with the family at sophisticated Argentinian steakhouse Buenos Aires Polo Club, with a striking seafood bar, regal prime rib carving station, bountiful charcuterie and cheese boards, opulent egg station and towering selection of freshly baked pastries, breads, cakes and sweets.
Afternoon tea at Dr. Fern’s Gin Parlour
If you’re mother is a fan of gin, this is definitely not one to miss! Inspired by the Swedish tradition of ‘Fika’, or time set aside to have tea in a highly social setting, Dr. Fern’s Gin Parlour launches a brand new Nordic afternoon tea (HK$498 + 10% for 2) this Mother’s Day. Each mum will receive a free upgrade to a Mother’s Day gin & tonic with the chance to surprise her with a special floral bouquet or organic tea jars crafted by Dr. Fern himself. If the idea of “pause and reset” sounds appealing, pair that with yummy treats and a live band performance for a perfect afternoon!
