Make Mother’s Day Brunch, Dinner Reservations Now In Miami

MIAMI, FL — Everything Mom has done over the past year of the coronavirus pandemic should add up to an extra-special 2021 Mother’s Day celebration on Sunday, May 9. To start her the day off right, how about taking Mom to her favorite Miami-area brunch spot?

Many restaurants and eateries are still limiting seating, so making a reservation early is especially important this year. And if you’re still undecided about going to a sit-down restaurant, curbside pickup or delivery is an option in many places.

Some hometown restaurants here in Miami that are always good bets to pamper Mom include:

• The Confidante Miami Beach, 4041 Collins Ave., Miami Beach
• Sugar Factory, 1060 Ocean Drive, Miami
• Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink, 130 NE 40th Street, Miami
• Osaka Nikkei Miami, 1300 Brickell Bay Drive, Miami
• Bulla Gastrobar, 5335 NW 87th Ave., Doral
• PLANTA South Beach, 850 Commerce Street, Miami Beach
• Salvaje, 101 NE 34th Street, Miami
• Le Zoo Bal Harbour, 9700 Collins Ave., Miami Beach

But again, call ahead for reservations; some of your local favorites may be closed on Mother’s Day so the moms who work there can have a day off with their families.

Many restaurants offer prix fixe menus, signature cocktails, decadent desserts and five-star service.
