Brunch in Burlington — is there any better place to sip mimosas on Mother’s Day?

Turns out we’re not the only ones who think so.

Two of Burlington’s restaurants have made a very exciting list.

OpenTable (best known for providing online restaurant reservations services) released Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants for Brunch on Mother’s Day for 2018. According to OpenTable, these awards reflect the combined opinions of more than 500,000 restaurant reviews submitted by verified OpenTable diners for at least 2,000 restaurants across the country.

Spencer’s at the Waterfront, located along Lakeshore, has made the list. 

So did Tucker’s Marketplace on South Service Rd.

Ontario dominated the list, having the most restaurants featured (36), followed by British Columbia with 28 and Alberta with 18.

Quebec (11), Manitoba (4), Newfoundland (2) and Nova Scotia (1) also have establishments in the top 100.

“Mother’s Day is our biggest group dining day of the year, and brunch, with its wide array of menu options and kid-friendly hours, is the meal that checks a lot of boxes for families gathering to celebrate the moms in their lives,” said OpenTable Canada’s chief dining officer Caroline Potter. “We’re thrilled to highlight the restaurants that are offering memorable daytime dining experiences for this special day – or any weekend day.”

From sustainable dining such as Vancouver’s Forage with its commitment to farm-to-table fare, to the rustic elegance at The Lake House in Calgary, to Canadian comfort food at Toronto’s Bannock, this year’s list features an extensive variety of brunch destinations moms will enjoy.
