We don\u2019t care how cute those heart-shaped pancakes are; surprising Mom with breakfast in bed is still stressful if she has to see the doughy aftermath. Instead, invite her to kick up her shoes with a Mother\u2019s Day brunch at one of San Antonio\u2019s most charming restaurants. But book quickly. Now that Fiesta is over, reservations on Sunday, May 10, are going fast.<\/p>\n

Blush
<\/a>This Southtown favorite will tickle Mom pink with its elegantly bohemian vibe. Start with a bread basket, then dive into an eclectic menu that includes ceviche, shrimp and octopus frittatas, and gravlax croissants. The cocktails are just as surprising, ranging from carajillos to a mimosa made with a strawberry-basil shrub.<\/p>\n

Box Street All Day
<\/a>The two locations of this all-day caf\u00e9 are perfect for the mom who just discovered Instagram. After all, her new outfit should have an equally cute backdrop. Take the snaps before diving into hearty brunch offerings like stuffed breakfast sandwiches, extra-thick pancakes, and creamy espresso martinis.<\/p>\n

Brasserie Mon Chou Chou
<\/a>Oh la la! This French stunner\u2019s raclette sandwich, prepared tableside, is still one of San Antonio\u2019s buzziest dishes. But that\u2019s just the start of a menu that includes bavette steak and standbys like quiche Lorraine. The outstanding hospitality will make Mom truly feel regal.<\/p>\n

Cullum\u2019s Attaboy<\/a>
Maybe don\u2019t let Mom sleep in just this once. The lines at this now-classic tend to build during peak brunch hours. But after spudnuts, a caviar-topped French omelet, and a bottle of champagne, she\u2019ll be ready for an afternoon nap. Use the time to plan another surprise.<\/p>\n

Ladino<\/a>
Although this Pearl hot spot\u2019s Turkish brunch does have eggs, it\u2019ll appeal to the mother who likes to nibble. The spread includes seared halloumi, flatbreads, fire-roasted peppers, and cheese \u2014 all of which can be augmented with kouign amanns or pistachio croissants should the table need a treat. Order the Bloody Mary, one of the most unexpected takes in town, made with tomatillo and harissa.<\/p>\n

Maverick Texas Brasserie<\/a>
This Southtown staple offers a hardier take on brunch with substantial dishes like steak frites, pork schnitzel, or a chicken paillard drizzled with lemon beurre blanc. But we keep coming back for the gougeres and the $25 mimosa bottle service.<\/p>\n

NOLA Brunch & Beignets
<\/a>This iconic restaurant\u2019s newish River North location slightly decreased its legendary wait times, but it\u2019s still one of San Antonio\u2019s most bustling spots. New Orleans classics like shrimp and grits join elegant dishes like a blue crab omelet with Creole cream cheese and hollandaise. Don\u2019t forget to order a basket of beignets with a caf\u00e9 au lait.<\/p>\n

Pharm Table
<\/a>Brunch doesn\u2019t have to be a mindless indulgence. This Southtown eatery specializes in healthful farm-to-table cuisine. During weekend mornings, that means kitchari with salmon, sweet potato waffles, and superlative beets with pecan dukkah and hemp seed salsa matcha. Pair all of the above with a natural wine, botanical cocktail, or a wellness tonic.<\/p>\n

Sunny\u2019s All-Day<\/a>
The riverside locale of this Boerne newcomer will charm Mom even before she enters the restaurant, but it\u2019s not all about the views. Inside, the spot combines diner favorites with more decadent dishes like Biscoff raspberry French toast. If the star of the day is on a specialty diet, Sunny\u2019s will accommodate, too, with protein pancakes served with sugar-free syrup or a gluten-free sampler.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We don\u2019t care how cute those heart-shaped pancakes are; surprising Mom with breakfast in bed is still stressful…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":268503,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[7857,1462,3081,1972,98580,95982,742,19463,82,84,83,740,10803,3292],"class_list":{"0":"post-268502","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio","8":"tag-boerne","9":"tag-brunch","10":"tag-hemisfair","11":"tag-holidays","12":"tag-mothers-day-brunch","13":"tag-mothers-day","14":"tag-pearl","15":"tag-river-north","16":"tag-san-antonio","17":"tag-san-antonio-headlines","18":"tag-san-antonio-news","19":"tag-southtown","20":"tag-tobin-hill","21":"tag-where-to-eat"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268502","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=268502"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268502\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/268503"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=268502"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=268502"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=268502"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
