Mother’s Day is drawing closer, and it’s time to start planning how you’ll be celebrating Mom this year. There are many lovely options for Mother’s Day activities in New Orleans, and moms deserve to be treated like the special people they are. If you’re staying at the Hotel Monteleone, you’re just steps away from an incredible selection of Mother’s Day brunch options.
This year, we’ve decided to put together a list of great French Quarter brunch spots because food is love, and no one does food better than the Crescent City. Read on to learn about the great Mother’s Day brunches New Orleans has to offer!
Criollo
The first restaurant on our list is the Monteleone’s very own Criollo. When you stay with us, you’ll have easy access to elegant dining and a menu that is sure to satisfy Mom. Fashioned with Louisiana and the Gulf South region’s abundant bounty of fresh, home-grown products from the land and sea, Criollo’s ingredient-driven seasonal menu is designed to offer creative dishes inspired by culinary traditions and an appreciation of today’s contemporary tastes.
Brennan’s
Brennan’s is an iconic New Orleans restaurant located on Royal Street in the heart of the French Quarter. It’s also credited with creating New Orleans’ most famous dessert, the Bananas Foster. This year, Brennan’s offers a 3 course Mother’s Day Brunch for $65. Menu highlights include BBQ Lobster, Eggs Sardou, Eggs Hussarde, Baked Pompano, and of course, Bananas Foster.
Take your mother to Brennan’s for a classic New Orleans Mother’s Day.
Court of Two Sisters
The Court of Two Sisters has the largest courtyard in the French Quarter, and is perfect for an “al fresco” celebration. This New Orleans staple is also known for its jazz brunches. Enjoy buffets of classic New Orleans dishes like Creole Jambalaya, Etouffee, and Corn Grits while listening to a jazz trio.
Pelican Club
The Pelican Club is located in a beautifully renovated 19th-century French Quarter townhouse on Bienville Street and Exchange Alley. It has been named one of America’s top 250 restaurants by Conde Nast Traveler. Their menu offers upscale French & Louisiana cuisine served in a casually elegant setting.
Red Fish Grill
The Mother’s Day buffet at Red Fish Grill lasts until 3 p.m. It costs $59.95, which is reasonable considering the kinds of delicious food you’ll have access to: Alligator Sausage & Seafood Gumbo, Hickory Grilled Redfish, BBQ Shrimp, and Slow Cooked Prime Rib among many other items.
Tujague’s
Tujague’s has been serving New Orleans’ residents for 160 years, so it’s a restaurant you can trust. Loosen up with $4 brunch beverages, including Bloody Marys and Mimosas, and take your pick from a wide variety of mouth-watering Louisiana seafood dishes.
