The Hochelaga restaurant turned itself into a pasta house until things shape up pandemic-wise, but for Mother’s Day it’s tilting Spanish with a “Tapas pour les Mamas” menu for two for $110. The meal includes Nordic shrimp with parsley and cumin aioli, house-marinated olives, tomato focaccia with smoked cherry tomatoes, Moorish-style lamb brochettes, fig and grilled pepper salad, lobster empanadas with sweet potato rouille, strawberry-basil charlotte with balsamic vinegar, and a vanilla éclair with grapefruit and sumac. There are two suggested bottles of organic and natural wine to go with it, though you could certainly also request the homemade pineapple ginger beer or old-fashioned root beer instead. Order in advance for pick-up on May 8 or 9.

Even vegan mums can splash out for Mother’s Day. This St-Laurent café is offering a $70 vegan or $85 non-vegan brunch for two ($130 or $150, respectively, for four).

The non-vegan version adds smoked salmon mousse, snow crab salad with cucumber, and a duck and fig quiche. But the $45 half bottle of Champagne pairs well with either version. And while the the cafe/bar’s famous Chartreuse-doused baked Alaska won’t be available, the wild blueberry and raspberry gelée that comes with either Mother’s Day menu is a much easier feat for takeout and delivery.
