Where To Treat Your Mom To Brunch This Mother’s Day 2026

Somewhere in Manila, there’s a brunch table  with your Mom’s name on it.

Mother’s Day is almost here. If there’s one thing your mom deserves more than anything, it’s a long, luxurious brunch where the only thing she has to do is decide between the eggs Benedict and the French toast. We know you’ve been the devoted child all year, showing up with her favorite snacks and remembering to actually text her back—but this 2026, May 10 is the one Sunday where you pull out all the stops.

The good news is that Manila’s brunch scene has never been better, with restaurants across the Metro going all out to make sure moms feel as celebrated as they truly are. We’ve done the hard work of narrowing it all down so you can spend less time scrolling and more time actually being present with the woman who raised you.

By Sonja

Born from the same kitchen that gave Manila its most beloved cupcakes, By Sonja has since grown into something quite refined. Founder and pastry expert Sonja Ocampo channels years of travel and training into a menu of small-batch French-inspired creations, from Crêpe Suzette in citrus Bordier butter sauce to kouign-amann and savory croissant sandwiches. The open kitchen space makes it the kind of place that feels like a treat before you’ve even ordered. For the mom-and-kid duo who appreciate the finer things in life, this is exactly where you want to be.

Grapevine

If your mom is the type who believes brunch should be generous, unhurried, and just a little bit indulgent, Grapevine in White Plains, Quezon City, was made for her. The all-day breakfast menu covers a lot of ground, from a Classic Glazed Tapa with Brazilian beef to Honey Walnut French Toast that’s exactly as good as it sounds. It’s the rare spot that manages to feel both laid-back and special, which is a hard thing to pull off.

Mirèio

For the mom who deserves to be treated like absolute royalty this Sunday, Mirèio at Raffles Makati is the answer. The Sunday brunch here is a full-on affair, with a caviar station, a raclette spread, and a rotating cast of opulent mains served in semi a la carte format, complete with sweeping city views as a backdrop. It warrants a meal where no one checks their phone and everyone leaves a little slower than they arrived. French brasserie dining doesn’t get more elevated than this in Manila.

Cartel Deli

In Salcedo Village, Cartel Deli is the neighborhood cafe-deli-bar that rewards anyone who makes the effort to find it. Chef Amado Garcia-Fernandez brings an Iberian sensibility to everything on the menu, whether that’s the Español baguette loaded with jamón serrano and tomatoes, the fire-grilled octopus, or the sobrassada spring rolls. A bacon-onion omelette and spinach quiche round out the breakfast side of things, and the wine and sangria list means there’s no reason to rush.

Scratch

What started as a beloved fixture inside Comuna has found a new home in Legazpi Village. The bread here is the main event, specifically the small-batch sourdough that arrives with flavored butters so good, they could be a course on their own. The mortadella focaccia sandwich is the kind of thing your mom will be thinking about for the rest of the week. Weekend mornings at Scratch have a particular kind of energy that sets an easy-going pace, one that’ll make you and mom feel like ordering another pastry and staying a little longer to revisit some great memories.
