Extra Special Mother’s Day Meals Mom Will Love
No one deserves a treat more than the moms of thr world. They do so much every single day, that the least we could do is treat them to an amazing meal on Mother’s Day. Ideally, you would treat her to an amazing meal way more frequently than this, but we’ll give you a pass for now and instead help you treat her to the most amazing Mother’s Day ever this Sunday! Here are a few Chicago spots she’s sure to love…
Uvae Kitchen & Wine Bar {5553 North Clark Street, Chicago; 773.654.1432}: Cheers to a free mimosa for all moms! This Andersonville favorite has an approachable brunch menu full of dishes the whole family will love including Bacon Brioche French Toast and Lobster Cake Benedict, plus a free mimosa for mom when they come in. Weather permitting, you can dine on their flower-lined sidewalk patio, or stay cozy with limited indoor seating. You can also take their Sunday Brunch Menu for Two to-go and celebrate at home! They’re making it extra easy to treat mom right.
The Dearborn {Block 37, 145 North Dearborn Street, Chicago; 312.384.1242}: The Dearborn will be serving all-day specials for Mother’s Day including Jumbo Shrimp & Lobster Cocktails, Chicken ‘Pot Pie’ Vol au Vent and more. This is the perfect spot for moms coming into the city from the suburbs, thanks to its location near lots of other Chicago activities like shopping and the Art Institute.
Sugar Goat {820 West Randolph Street, Chicago; 312.667.0108}: Maybe your mama doesn’t live in Chicago, but you can still send her a bit of our city’s food family! Sugar Goat is shipping their Mother’s Day Cake nationwide with Goldbelly and you can pre-order it now! If you are local, they also have a Bloom Bundle of a bouquet and 4-pack of cupcakes that you can also pre-order. This present is extra special because Sugar Goat has partnered with Bottle & Branch, a local, female-owned flower shop that farms their own flowers for this offer.
NoMI Kitchen and Garden {800 Michigan Avenue, 7th Floor, Chicago; 312.239.4030}: If there’s one thing that should vault you out of bed for brunch, it’s Lobster Beignets. Especially served in a relaxing garden setting, high above the city. If Chicago weather cooperates, you can enjoy brunch in the NoMI Garden, and if not, the NoMI Kitchen also awaits. Inside or out, this is the perfect destination to treat your mama to some of the best meals in the city.
Siena Tavern {51 West Kinzie Street, Chicago; 312.595.1322}: What mom wouldn’t love diging in Fried Burrata Caprese and Olive Oil Lemon Cake with a beautiful view of fresh flowers? Siena Tavern has a special Mother’s Day brunch menu for the weekend, as well as the opportunity to add on a floral bouquet for mom. Local Event Planner & Floral Designer, Christine Janda Design & Events, has created beautiful hand-wrapped floral bouquets ($55 each) that will be waiting for mom upon check-in for your reservations on May 8 or May 9.
Tanta {118 West Grand Avenue, Chicago; 312.222.9700}: If mom would rather lounge at home and have you cook for her, Tanta can make that process super easy on you! Their Mother’s Day package for four is super simple to prepare but still packed with amazing dishes that will blow mom away including Salmon Steak Anticuchero and Tarta de Chocolate made with Peruvian chocolate ganache and seasonal berries. You must place your order by Wednesday, May 5 for pick-up on Sunday.
BLVD Steakhouse {817 West Lake Street, Chicago; 312.526.3116}: Celebrate mom with a one-day-only 3-course shared brunch menu with dishes like Pain Perdu Brioche French Toast or Chicken & Waffles as well as luxe upgrades, like Seafood Towers and Caviar Service. They will also be serving their glamorous dinner menu as well if mom wants a lazy morning at home. No matter what time of day, she’ll be treated like a movie star.
Daisies {2523 North Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago; 773.661.1671}: Instead of a bouquet of daisies, how about taking mom straight to the source for a meal at Daisies in Logan Square? You’ll be able to dig in to pastries, Asparagus Benedict, Truffle Bruschetta, and more! You can still make reservations for a bright and beautiful start to the holiday.
