The Mother of All Boston
Dining Sites
50+ Answers to the perennial question:
Where
should we take Mom for Mother's Day?
Abundant
brunch buffets, prix fixe menus, special children's dishes--not to mention
complimentary champagne, roses, and family photos--are just a few of the treats
awaiting local moms at the more than fifty restaurants featured in the Mother's Day Guide found exclusively on BostonChefs.com.
"We've
been showcasing the dining options for Mother's Day for several years now,"
says Senior Editor of BostonChefs.com Honor Lydon, "but this year's list of
offerings is exceptional for the variety and creativity of chefs' offerings.
We're especially pleased to be able to show our readers the actual Mother's Day
menus for most of the restaurants featured."
A quick
glance at just a few of these special menus tells the story.
At Beacon Hill Bistro, mothers
(and their children, of course) can begin the day with a fresh fruit bowl,
accompanied by house-made yogurt and a mint and bee pollen tuile. Or maybe your
mom (or more likely your dad) has an appetite for heartier fare. In that case,
the menu at The Butcher Shop in the
South End might be the answer, featuring lamb leg tartine; and rabbit niçoise
salad with eggs, radishes, and olives Or if mom enjoys music as much as she enjoys fine dining, then Café Fleuri's Jazz Brunch will be right up her alley. To make sure that mom
actually enjoys her well-deserved break, face painters, caricaturists, and a balloon artist will be on hand
to entertain the kids.
This year's Mother's Day extravaganza has arrived
in the nick of time, just as the last of the restaurants to extend their Restaurant Week
menus throughout the month of April finished up their special
promotions this past week. "Judging by our own figures," says
BostonChefs.com Director of Marketing Chris Schiavone, "it was an amazing
Restaurant Week, with close to 150,000 local diners researching their options
on RestaurantWeekBoston.com and thousands of them fanning our Facebook
page, following our Tweets, and making their reservations right from the site." This year, Restaurant Week fever gripped the North End, the Newton-Needham area, and Quincy too--all of whom lured diners out of their winter doldrums with the bright promise of fine dining at a reasonable price.
And with
temperatures this week expected to rise from the chilly 40s up into the sultry
80s, visitors to BostonChefs.com will have even more reason to exchange their goulashes for flip
flops and start browsing our annual Outdoor Dining Guide, which goes live on Monday, May 3. Complete with photos and
descriptions of the alfresco spaces at some of area's best eateries, the
outdoor guide provides the inside scoop on the decks, patios, and courtyards in
Greater Boston where good food meets good mood.
