Mother's Day 2026

Memorable Dining and Gifting Experiences

Mother’s Day 2026 is shaping up to be a delicious weekend on the calendar. Think sushi boats shared over cocktails, flower-shaped pizzas fresh from the oven, tiramisu theatrics at the table, handcrafted dim sum and decadent chocolate hampers that feel almost too beautiful to unwrap. 

There’s something about Mother’s Day that naturally brings people to the table. Maybe it’s because so many of our favourite food memories begin with her — the comforting breakfasts before school, the handwritten recipes passed down over generations, the Sunday aroma that filled the house as she baked our favourite cake that  somehow tasted better simply because she made it. This year, restaurants across the town are turning that emotion into full-fledged culinary celebrations.

Whether your mother prefers a slow breakfast with perfect coffee, an elegant champagne brunch, soulful South Indian comfort food or an all-out dessert crawl through the city, we have put together details on various options for every kind of celebration. Because if there’s ever a day to skip the cooking, order the extra dessert, raise a toast and plan an unforgettable meal together, this is it.

Take A Selfie At Alta Stella

For families looking to make Mother’s Day feel emotional and intimate rather than overly commercial, Alta Stella offers one of the city’s most heartfelt celebrations. The rooftop restaurant is encouraging guests to share photographs and cherished memories with their mothers in a special pre-event contest, with winners receiving a complimentary dinner experience. On Mother’s Day, diners posting stories with their mothers at the restaurant will receive complimentary desserts! A simple but thoughtful touch that fits perfectly with Alta Stella’s romantic skyline setting. High above Andheri, the venue combines sweeping city views with a warm, memory-led celebration that feels far more personal than the average brunch outing. So have a great time and commemorate it with your selfie.

Go All In At HyLo's Brunch

Kala Ghoda’s HyLo is hosting one of the city’s most ambitious Mother’s Day brunches this year with its expansive “All In Brunch” experience. Mothers dine complimentary when accompanied by family.

Paired with bellinis, spritzes, espresso martinis and rosé cocktails, this is exactly the kind of celebratory family afternoon you need.

Up The Style At Epitome
