While you should always be aiming to make your mum feel like your number one lady, fast-approaching is the one day of the year when you must pull out all stops for the lady who made you. This year, Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel is paying a grand homage to the women without whom we wouldn't be here, with both a decadent brunch, and a lunchtime feast on Mother's Day.
Brunch ($55 per person) kicks off with sparkling on arrival, and a seasonal spread of fruit and yoghurt to start. After that, delights on offer include baked turkish eggs, a crab and leek frittata and the slightly more lavish ricotta hotcakes with toffee banana, whipped maple syrup butter and hazelnuts. If your mum has decided she deserves a sleep in (which she does), there's a three-course lunch option for $80 that kicks off with a glass of sparkling rosé. A decadent seafood tasting plate to start is followed by roasted picanha (sirloin) beef, crispy pork belly, hot smoked king salmon and a delicate tiramisu for dessert.
As we were all so often reminded when we were young, every day is Kid's Day, so when Sunday, May 14 rolls around, treat your ma to a seaside meal to let her know she's the best there could possibly be. Bookings are essential — make sure you call Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel to reserve a spot.
