4/20/25 - By Kristen Sullivan

Mother's Day is a time for Philly kids to pause and celebrate all mom does for the family. One classic way to show her how much you love her is by taking mom to out to eat.

There are so many options in the city and in the 'burbs that sometimes it can be overwhelming to find a venue that will be fun for both mom and kids. So we have rounded up plenty of choices, including brunches, teas, and dinners. Many of these venues can even entertain the kiddos while making mom feel special. 

If you're looking for something to do after eating, check out our event calendar and Spring Activities Guide for more great ways to celebrate mom.

No matter what you pick for mom's special day, call or email ahead to make reservations, because many of these events sell out well before Mother's Day weekend.
