Montreal knows how to celebrate moms, and the brunch on Sunday, May 11th 2025, is one of the best ways to do it. With thoughtful menus, special touches at the table and restaurants ready to welcome every generation, Mother's Day becomes a moment that feels as good as it tastes.
Across the city, restaurants brim with small gestures and big ideas. Some offer lavish buffets where kids serve themselves; others keep things cozy with a set menu and a welcome mimosa. You'll find spots that think of everything from kid-friendly dishes to flexible seating for bigger families, with little details designed to bring a smile.
This energy goes far beyond downtown. Laval, the South Shore, Montérégie, Lasalle, West Island and the Laurentians all get involved. Each neighbourhood celebrates in its unique way, with local favourites and familiar tables that quietly become part of the family tradition. Some of these brunches turn into annual rituals, where laughter and stories collect year after year.
The goal is not to find the trendiest spot but the one that matches your family's rhythm. The place where time slows, where you can linger over your toast and where a shared dessert speaks volumes. This guide highlights places that understand that spirit and deliver something meaningful, without striving for perfection.
