The Mother’s Day brunch service is the busiest one of the year, in normal circonstances. Restaurants create special menus and strive to get as many people seated as possible. Everyone is out celebrating the mothers in their lives by treating them to the perfect brunch experience. But in these social distancing and self isolating times, we all know that dining out is impossible. However, it is still quite possible to celebrate moms by having the perfect Mother’s Day brunch, lunch or dinner delivered to your door, or to your favourite moms’ doors. Here’s a list of some of the best Montreal restaurant meals available for Mother’s Day this year.

Vin Mon Lapin

Vin Mon Lapin is one of my favourite restaurant in Montreal. It’s a great neighbourhood bar where the food and the wine are absolutely flawless. They’ve been closed during the pandemic but have done a couple of specials. The Mother’s Day menu is one of their special. It includes house-cured trout gravlax, buckwheat crêpe mix, Mon Lapin crème fraîche, farm eggs, Matane shrimps, homemade yogurt, a few Québec products such as radishes and asparagus, and an upside down purple fruit cake. The menu is for 2 to 4 people and you have to place your order by May 4th. You can also order a bouquet of tulips or some of their outstanding wines, beers, ciders and pet’ nat’. Pick ups and deliveries will be available between Thursday May 7th and Saturday May 9th.

McKiernan Luncheonette

I fell in love with this Joe Beef offspring the minute I stepped foot in the bright and airy industrial loft space overlooking the Lachine Canal. Their weekly menu is a dream with delicious dishes including the famous McKiernan salad and entire themed dinners for 2. For Mother’s Day, the McKiernan team is offering a $75 gift basket filled with freshly baked goods and local treats: Quebec buffalo yogurt, house olive oil granola, the very first strawberries, St. Leon organic maple syrup, Pont Blanc cheese, rhubarb jam, Megan’s oatmeal cookies, Les Isles spritz jellies and Camelia Sinensis tea. For an extra $20, you can get all these goodies delivered to your favourite mom in a McKiernan tote bag! You can also add some pantry items, apparel, books and of course, wines, ciders and beers. Order 24 hours in advance for deliveries Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

La Récolte has created a great brunch menu featuring local ingredients {photo © La Récolte}

La Récolte Espace Local

Hyper-local and sustainable restaurant La Récolte serves one of the best brunches in town. The young and talented team always puts together a creative menu composed of local and seasonal ingredients. Their Mother’s Day brunch to go is no different. An omelette millefeuilles, smoked local trout and ricotta ravioli are on the menu, as well as their delicious brunch donut with rhubarb compote, apple butter, meringue and crumble. Add one of their great, natural wine choices including bubbly and rosés to your order and you’ve got a great way to celebrate mom!

Les Fillettes

It would’ve been so lovely to be able to take mom out for brunch on Les Fillettes lovely, Outremont terrasse. But alas, that’s not a viable plan this year. However, what is viable, is bringing their brunch to you. The market-forward restaurant has put together a great Mother’s Day menu that features a $55 menu for 3 or a $90 menu for 4. Complete your order with some wine and a few local specialty products. Order before May 6th and pick up or have it delivered Friday through Sunday.

The box contains 4 of the richest, most decadent brownies, 2 little containers of caramel and a sachet of “jewels” like candied citrus, cocoa nibs, caramelized nuts.

Comptoir Sainte-Cécile

If you want to spoil your mom (or anyone, including yourself), this is the place to do it. Pastry chef Patrice Demers’s desserts are elegant, exquisite and absolutely exceptional. Order and pay on their online boutique and pick up your dessert at their Little Burgundy shop.

Restaurant Pastaga

This Petite Patrie restaurant has been around for about a decade. When the lockdown started, they were one of the first establishments to convert to take out and delivery almost immediately. The dynamic team seems tireless and always ready to step up and deliver, no pun intended. For Mother’s Day, their menu includes tatami-style duck magret, Nordic shrimp, lobster feuilleté with fiddleheads (fingers crossed they’ll be in season by then) and dessert. The 4-course menu costs $35 per person and you can order it as of now via their website for pick up or delivery starting Friday May 8th at noon. Their wine list is great so don’t forget to add a bottle or two to your order.

Le BloomfieldOrder their Mother’s Day basket for 4 that includes the Jerusalem Platter, French toast, Palestinian eggs and brownies and halva.
