Mother's Day is this Sunday, May 11. Whether you're planning a cozy morning with the family or an elegant brunch out on the town, there's no shortage of ways to make Mom feel special in Chicagoland. From charming neighborhood cafés to upscale dining experiences with a view, the city and suburbs offer something for every kind of celebration.
To help you narrow it down, our real estate agents are sharing a few of their favorite spots for a memorable Mother's Day brunch — places they love for the food, the atmosphere, and memories of celebrations past.
Glencoe, IL
Celebrate Mother's Day with a one-of-a-kind brunch at the beautiful Chicago Botanic Garden. Enjoy mimosas, made-to-order omelets, a carving station, and plenty of kid-friendly options — all surrounded by spring blooms. Admission to the garden is included with your ticket. Reserve your spot here.

Try something new this Mother's Day at Mesón Sabika in Naperville. This Spanish restaurant even has a special Mother's Day menu of hot and cold tapas, delicious entrees and enticing desserts. For $89 per adult, you and your guests can choose from a four-course prix fixe menu that has something for everyone. After brunch, you can stroll the Riverwalk in downtown Naperville.

Oak Brook, IL
Lucca Osteria in Oak Brook is the perfect restaurant for Mother's Day brunch if you're craving rustic Italian flavors in a welcoming, elegant setting. Every Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Lucca Osteria serves brunch-style specials in addition to their regular lunch menu. The specials, which include staples like eggs benedict and French toast, are an Italian take on the classic American brunch. Plus, guests can enjoy bottomless mimosas, bellinis, and Bloody Marys. Reserve your table here.
Pierrot Gourmet at the Peninsula Chicago
Streeterville, Chicago, IL
One of the best French cafes in Chicago is tucked away inside the five-star Peninsula Chicago hotel. Thankfully, you don't need to be a guest to enjoy the old-world European flavors of Pierrot Gourmet. Fresh pastries, desserts and beverages are available daily, while brunch is served on Saturday and Sunday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Grab brunch with the family on Sunday and spend the rest of your afternoon taking in one of the many nearby Steeterville attractions like the Museum of Contemporary Art, shopping on the Magnificent Mile, relaxing on Ohio Street Beach, strolling the Riverwalk, or even riding the ferris wheel at Navy Pier.
Algonquin, IL
Every Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Port Edward in Algonquin hosts its famous Flowing Champagne Sunday Brunch. This 60-year tradition includes a luxurious buffet menu featuring seafood, smoked fish, breakfast classics, soup, salads, sides, desserts, cheeses, and fresh seasonal fruits. The ticket price, which is $68 for adults on holidays and $55 on non-holidays, also includes unlimited champagne, coffee, and juices. To book your Mother's Day reservation, call the restaurant at (847) 658-5441.
Bridgeport, Chicago, IL
The Duck Inn in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood is a popular, cozy brunch destination that has received countless awards for its excellent food, beverages, service, and atmosphere. As the name suggests, the brunch menu offers several duck-based dishes like a chili-braised duck sope, and rotisserie duck hash. The restaurant's signature whole rotisserie duck is also available during brunch, but guests are encouraged to call in advance to reserve their table and rotisserie duck.
Lake View, Wrigleyville and West Town, Chicago, IL
For some of the best bagels in the city, Steingold's Deli is the way to go. Each location offers a modern take on Jewish deli classics like cold-smoked lox and pastrami sandwiches. The flagship restaurant — located next to the iconic Music Box Theatre — offers a full menu of breakfast, brunch, and lunch options. Steingold's Bagels and Nosh — a mini location inside the Hotel Zachary and directly across from Wrigley Field — offers some grab-and-go specials for anyone wanting a quick bite or a dozen bagels to-go. If you're planning a Mother's Day brunch at home, you can even get your bagels, pastries and schmears straight from the source at the Humboldt Park bakehouse.
No matter how you choose to celebrate, what's important on Mother's Day is spending time with the ones you love. We hope it's a good one!
