Here's what's on this Mother's Day if you CBF to cook

Yes, Mother’s Day is this Sunday. It’s the day we get together as families and say ‘thank you mum’. Thank you for doing my washing. Thank you for picking me up at 2am that one time. Thank you for putting up with wayyy too much of all our bullshit, and still unconditionally loving us.

And while the day is a significant one, it’s also easily overlooked in the hustle and bustle of May. So if you’re like me and consistently forgetting to get your shit together in time, don’t worry, because there is still hope.

Whether you CBF to cook, don’t have the space to, or just feel like doing something a little bit more spesh, we’ve rounded up some truly fabulous venues hosting even more fabulous Mother’s Day brunches, lunches and dinners come this Sunday. Sure, some of them are a bit on the pricier side, but we’d say your mum deserves that and more.

Alright, here we go.

Mother’s Day at Opera Bar

Sure, it might be touristy, but sometimes there are places in Sydney that are actually worth the hype, and we 100% believe Opera Bar is one of those places. So if you’re looking for cracking views (and food, for that matter) this Sunday, you’ll be happy to know that Opera Bar are hosting their very own Mother’s Day brunch special from 10am. What’s more? The bar, which admittedly can run on the pricier side, is selling tickets for $75 per head, which also includes a glass of Prosecco on arrival. I’d say that’s decent value.

WHEN: Sunday 11 May, from 10am
WHERE: Opera Bar, Circular Quay
HOW MUCH: $75 per head

Chez Blue Rozelle Long Lunch

Lovers of French food shouldn’t look past Chez Blue in Rozelle this Sunday, who are slinging an epic feast that you’ll be dropping your pants for. Think tuna tartare with potato galette, egg and green beans, steak frites and cheese soufflés (just to name a few). A ticket to the shared-style menu might set you back $75, but it’ll also come with a glass of French bubbles.

WHEN: Sunday 11 May, lunch seating
WHERE: Chez Blue, Rozelle
HOW MUCH: $75 per person

Let’s be real, there’s nothing quite like parking up alongside the harbour in Barangaroo for a few (or more) drinks. And our favourite destination to do exactly that, Barangaroo House, is thankfully hosting their very own Mother’s Day special at Rekōdo. While their à la carte menu will be available on the day, you also have the option to go all out with the $130 per head set menu if you’re wanting to say an extra big thanks to mum. Either way, mothers will be treated to a complimentary MoMo Spritz on arrival, as well as resident vinyl DJ’s playing tunes throughout the day into evening.

WHEN: Sunday 11 May, all day
WHERE: Rekōdo, Barangaroo
HOW MUCH: A la carte, or $130 set menu

Mum Cha at Lucky Prawn

Honestly, I think I can speak on behalf of everyone when I say we all have a weakness when it comes to a yum cha moment. And if you agree with me, you’ll be glad to know that Lucky Prawn Restaurant at the Bob Hawke Beer & Leisure Centre is hosting their very own ‘Mum Cha’ this Sunday. On top of a promised ‘prawn-filled twist’ on yum cha, they’re also giving you the option to pre-order bubbles, flowers and other merchandise to the table for arrival. In other words, this is our pick if you really don’t have your shit together.
