Posted Apr 30, 2021
The best Mother's Day dinners in Toronto are the ones that mom didn't have to make. Beyond that, they should be unique, multi-course affairs, brimming with luxurious ingredients that transport mom miles away from the every day. The perfect way to show mom you care, these dinners will help mom embrace the quiet comfort of the day and motivate her to change out of her sweatpants for a lavish dinner at home that she won't soon forget.
This Mother's Day, let mom put her feet up while you plate a gorgeous restaurant meal, sure to remind her of the dining rooms she misses most. Mom deserves a month of special treatment after the past year. If that's out of the question, make this Mother's Day as special as can be with one of the best takeout dinners there is.
