Mums, stepmums, carers, even awesome besties… Whoever the mother figure is in your life, we reckon they probably deserve some extra love this Mother’s Day. And while we’re a little biased (because hey, we’re all about food), we think a Mother’s Day brunch could be just the thing. From Barangaroo to Camperdown, tastier than flowers and better than a trip to Luna Park (well, maybe), your Ma will appreciate a Mother’s Day Brunch with you so much more than those assorted chocolates or cheap bouquet from the servo.
To make your job of booking the perfect spot even easier, we’ve updated our list of the great Mother’s Day brunches in Sydney for 2021.
