In this case, brunch includes shareable prosciutto-centric antipasti, and a choice of three courses including carpaccio, “everything anolini” (stuffed pasta), and eggs benedict with fennel hollandaise ($45 per person). This East Austin-Northern Italian restaurant just halted its brunch service in April, saving it for special occasions. The family size can be bundled with a pear salad, mashed potatoes, and an orange cheesecake ($25 total). If the family would rather celebrate at home, the roast comes to-go ($179 for four, $49 for individuals). Perry’s Filet Stuffed Roast includes a filet mignon stuffed with tons of good stuff: spinach, wild mushrooms, garlic, onion and fresh herbs, and three cheeses ($49). On this special Sunday, Perry’s Steakhouse and Grille is opening early at 11 am with a limited edition menu option.
Make your reservations ASAP, and if you’re checking last-minute, don’t panic flowers, a card, and some homemade special treats go a long way. Each gives their own take on a Mother’s Day special, so even if it’s a restaurant she knows well, there will be new surprises. These local favorites offer something for every mom, from the most lavish hotel parties, to take-home gifts, to more low-key opportunities to celebrate with kids or on a budget. Whether this year is about your triumphant return to quality time with Mom, or a reminder that you’ll never be too far away, the important part is that someone takes the initiative for her. For some, the newfound freedom means being able to see family again for others, it means finally getting out of the house.
With the return of so many beloved yearly events, it feels like Austin has been born again.
