The Best Brisbane Restaurants for Your Mum This Mother’s Day

For the adventurous mum: Does Mum love being the first to try the most unique dish or the one packed with exotic flavours? Adventurous Mums are always up for a challenge, and for them, dining is about more than just the food–it’s about experiencing something new. So why not treat her to the vibrant flavours and colourful plates at Byblos Bar & Restaurant, where contemporary Middle Eastern dishes meet the stunning views of Moreton Bay.

For the seaside mum If Mum loves nothing more than a day at the beach, a view of the endless ocean and is drawn to the peaceful rhythm of the waves, there’s no better Mother’s Day gift than a relaxing meal by the shore. So, take her somewhere she can unwind with a side of sea breeze and soothing ocean sounds–somewhere like Manly Boathouse. A short drive from Brisbane CBD, this spot offers fresh, locally sourced seafood and a lovely patio to finish off your meal with a gelato, ensuring Mum’s a happy guest.

For the continental mum: For the mum who’s always planning her next getaway, we’re sure her passport tells a story of countless adventures. She loves immersing herself in different cultures and when it comes to dining out, she doesn’t need fancy or pretentious–she just needs her meals to transport her somewhere new (or take her back to her favourite destinations). For her, a French gastronomic dinner paired with a curated glass of vino in a beautiful restaurant like La Belle Vie, is the absolute perfect way to celebrate.

For the design enthusiast mum: The design enthusiast Mum is sophisticated and so is her palate. She loves the finer things in life and appreciates the artistry behind a good food and wine pairing more than most. From a rich red with a roast to a crisp white with seafood, she’s got the perfect wine choice to elevate every dish, always enjoying it in a stunning setting. No Mother’s Day gift is more fitting than an elegant meal at Naldham House, a European Brasserie set in one of Brisbane’s iconic heritage buildings where the refined menu is worthy of her discerning taste.

For the trendy mum: A trendy Mum knows that dining should be as stylish as her, so she won’t settle for anything less than the hottest new restaurant in town. She’s always ahead of the curve, not only when it comes to restaurants, bars and cafes, but fashion, music, tech… you name it. We’ll go out on a limb and say she’s a social butterfly who thrives on discovering the latest trends and sharing them with all her friends. The best Mother's Day gift for her? A meal that’s exciting and oh-so-now at an eclectic restaurant like Hideki, offering a modern take on Japanese Yakitori for an elegant ‘fine-casual’ dining experience.
