Mother’s Day Brunch Traditions

For those craving a timeless tradition of Mother’s Day brunch, it's time to act fast, as reservations are vanishing quicker than you can say "Mom." Along the serene banks of the Columbia River lies The Cove, a cherished spot in Vancouver's brunch scene, while Cecilia’s promises to delight taste buds with delectable dishes complemented by Mother-inspired cocktails. Venture into downtown Vancouver for a culinary adventure at Elements, where French-inspired cuisine with a Mexican twist awaits to tantalize every mom’s palate.  And for those seeking a waterfront experience, AC Hotel by Marriott presents a charming Brunch Buffet boasting a medley of classic favorites and gourmet creations, all freshly crafted.

Fur-Baby & Me Outings

Mother’s Day celebrates all kinds of motherhood, including those with fur babies! If you're a proud parent to a four-legged friend, here are some special ways to celebrate your bond this holiday. Take advantage of the beautiful spring weather and go on a dog-friendly hike along one of our scenic trails, where wildflowers are in full bloom. Head downtown to soak up the vibrant atmosphere of the Vancouver Farmer’s Market. And for a truly memorable experience, treat yourself and your furry companion to a delightful brunch on the patio at Brickhouse Bar & Grill or Trap Door
