The women who raise us deserve to be celebrated. In order to help you find the perfect way to thank those maternal figures in your lives on Mother’s Day, Eater put together a guide to Austin’s best holiday brunches, dinners, pop-ups, and more happening around town.

There is something for everyone this year, from afternoon tea at Brentwood Social House to drag brunch at the Cavalier to many brunch buffets. All events are on Sunday, May 12, otherwise noted, and reservations are usually required.

If you’re looking for takeout Mother’s Day desserts, Eater has it covered with a separate guide, and then there are general brunch guides too.
