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

BROOKHAVEN, GA — 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 Brookhaven 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 and near Brookhaven that are always good bets to pamper Mom include:

Valenza Restaurant, 1441 Dresden Drive, Suite 100, Atlanta
The One Sushi+, 2523 Caldwell Road, Atlanta
HOBNOB Neighborhood Tavern, 804 Town Blvd., A1010, Brookhaven
Petite Violette, 2948 Clairmont Road, Atlanta
South City Kitchen - Buckhead, 3350 Peachtree Road, Suite 140, Atlanta

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.
