Editor's note: Due to remaining closures and precautions in St. Louis, these restaurants will not be open for Mother's Day brunch this year. Unless otherwise stated, they are not offering pick-up or delivery either.

Mother's Day (May 10, 2020) is the one day of the year when it's good to do a little something extra, and if you're visiting the ​St. Louis area this year, there's plenty of great options if you're looking to take your mom out to brunch.

Bring along a bouquet of flowers or a blooming spring plant to really brighten her day, but be sure to make your reservation as soon as possible as tables are likely to fill up fast at these local favorites. Additionally, if your first choice is booked, you should make a reservation at your second choice and keep calling your first in case there is a last-minute cancellation.

After brunch, be sure to explore some of the great events happening in the St. Louis area, many of which are perfect for taking your mother out on a fun-filled day of adventure. We recommend a stop at the St. Louis Botanical Gardens, which should be in full bloom just in time for Mother's Day weekend.
