How to Celebrate Mother’s Day in Quarantine
Much like graduations or any birthdays or anniversaries that have taken place in the last two months, Mother’s Day this year just isn’t going to be the same. All the ways we usually like to show mom our love (taking her to brunch or dinner, maybe even a spa day) are no longer an option. But that doesn’t mean the day has to go to waste. Many Gables restaurants have curated a special Mother’s Day menu so that we can still celebrate our moms the way they deserve.
Bachour
The way to any woman’s heart is through her stomach. So why not show mom how much you really love her with pastries from Bachour? $55 for an entremet, a box of five petits gateaux and $8 for a piña colada tulip. Orders must be placed 48 hours in advance and orders over $100 will come with a complimentary bottle of wine. Call 305.203.0552 to order.
Threefold Café
Get your mom a basket full of all of her favorite things with a basket from Threefold Café. Each basket is $85 and contains a bouquet of six roses, a bottle of sparkling cuvee or rosé, a JoJo tea sampler, one bar of Cao Chocolate, one pint of Frice ice cream, a $25 gift certificate to Threefold and, the essentials, Nature’s Most Wanted hand sanitizer. P.S. Threefold is announcing a Mother’s Day menu soon.
Eating House
Nowhere to go for Mother’s Day brunch? No problem. Eating House is offering a family style menu complete with tater tots, candied bacon, crab cake “bocaditos” (buttered brioche and mojo crème fraîche), short rib eggs benedict, strawberry short pancakes and creamsicle French toast. When completing your order, just let them know how many people will be feasting. $35 per person. Order online at eatinghousemiami.com.

Choose from a number of family meal options like the Segovia family meal, which includes a whole suckling pig; the Huelva family meal, which comes with fresh cod from Iceland; or the Alicante family meal where you can pick a paella (seafood, Valenciana or Campesina). All meals come with a bottle of wine. Price varies depending on party size. Call or text 305.321.5077 to place your orders. Open on Mother’s Day from noon – 6 p.m.

Then pick two sides and one dessert. The meal serves four for $80. Call 305.447.9273 to preorder.
