A bouquet of flowers is always lovely, but there is no harm in sprinkling a little extra thought into how you spend your Mother’s Day.
It’s the perfect opportunity to show any mother in your life how much you really care and prioritize making memories together. Whether it’s your sister, aunt, or grandma, spending quality time can include many activities.

Brunch at Bacchus Restaurant
Bacchus Restaurant
Known for its European influence and elegant interior, Bacchus Restaurant in the Wedgewood Hotel & Spa is putting on a beautiful Mother’s Day Brunch.

This year, the menu includes dishes such as gooseberry & almond parfait, brioche french toast, and merlot braised short rib benedict. Booking is available here.

High tea on Mother’s Day is a cherished tradition for many, and The Secret Garden is widely regarded as the city’s premiere spot to enjoy some traditional treats. The light and airy space is so beautiful and would be the perfect backdrop for any family photos. They even offer vegan, gluten-free, and vegetarian high tea options! Some menu highlights include a pink grapefruit cupcake with lavender frosting and egg salad on a fairy pink bun. Reservations are for high tea only and are available here.
Comedy Night
Toby’s Social Pub
If the daytime activities aren’t appealing to the mom in your life, consider a Mother’s Day Comedy Night at Toby’s Social Pub in North Vancouver. Let loose with your sister, mom or aunties and enjoy each other’s company while laughing the night away. Toby’s also serves food and drinks, so you can enjoy dinner and a show. Tickets are available here.
Brunch cooking class
Posh Pantry
Instead of the conventional cooking class making dinner, Posh Pantry is doing a special Mother’s Day class which features brunch! Not only will you and Mom have the afternoon together, but you will learn some great skills to impress your friends and family whenever you’re cooking next. You can even schedule a private event through Posh Pantry and bring the fun to your home. Booking is available here.
