Mother's Day Meals
Taking mom out to her favorite restaurant is a popular choice on Mother's Day, but that also means you need to make your reservations early. You can also make Mother's Day special by looking beyond restaurants to Mother's Day meal events, or by sharing a meal at home as a family.
Brunch and Dinner Events
Casa Loma's annual Royal Brunch usually sells out, so if you're interested be sure to book your spot well in advance. There are also brunches this year at Black Creek Pioneer Village and the Old Mill Inn. Stage West Dinner Theatre in Mississauga has a brunch-only taking place in the Haida Garden Cafe, or you can get tickets for lunch or dinner and the current show, The Producers.

Ordering Dinner In
Another great option is to order in food on Sunday. That way no one has to cook and there's very little clean-up, so you can spend even more time enjoying each other's company. If you're worried that a delivered meal won't seem as special, consider having a home-made dessert, or ordering a personalized cake.
