Mother’s Day falls on 13th May this year, and it is just two weeks away from us. As always I’ve prepared a list of restaurants to give you some suggestions on where to go for this special day. Besides featuring restaurants that are having Mother’s Day promotion, I’ve also included some of my favourite places.
Here are my recommendations for Mother’s Day Dinner 2012.
If you are looking for a nice restaurant to bring your mommy for lunch, Bistro Du Vin is the place to go. It serves a three-course set lunch at $30++, which in my opinion, is one of the most value for money set lunches in Singapore.
1 Scotts Road
#02-12 Shaw Centre
Tel: +65 6733 7763
Another good place to satisfy your French food craving (Mother’s Day is just another excuse for us to eat out), Cocotte has an excellent three course executive set lunch at $29++. Definitely the place to go if you want a rustic and comfy place to celebrate the special occasion.

Chao Shan Cuisine
A no-frills eatery that serves fantastic Teochew food. I’ll go so far as to say that it is one of the best Teochew Restaurants in Singapore. The only problem here is getting a table because this place is very popular; reservation is absolutely necessary.
85 Beach Road
Tel: +65 6336 2390
Chikuwa Tei is a place that I will go back again and again when I am craving for Japanese food. The offerings are generally good, and the prices for the bento set and ala carte menu are very reasonable.

Jade Palace Seafood Restaurant
Jade Palace Seafood Restaurant at Forum is the place to go if you are looking for a restaurant that serves consistently good Chinese food. This is the place to go if your parents are the conservative type that do not like “surprises.” You don’t have to worry about having a bad dining experience as the restaurant has been satisfying customers for many years.

Kumo Kaiseki Restaurant
Many people would murder me for revealing this secret, but Kumo at ICON Village has one of the best value for money Omakase ($138/168) in Singapore. For a slightly more affordable alternative, go for the seven course Kaiseki set dinner at $78. I highly recommend this place if you like Japanese food.
12 Gopeng Street
#01-58 ICON Village

La Villa
La Villa (pictured at the top of the post) by the Senso Group is one of my new favourite Italian Restaurants in town. It has a great location at River Valley, yet not many people seem to know about it. Prices are mid-range; $16-25 for antipasti, $18-28 for pasta/risotto, and $28-36 for main courses. Just the place to bring your parents for a nice and quiet Mother’s Day dinner.

I’ve written about il Lido on many occasions as I believe that it is one of those restaurants which is suitable for all occasions. It’s the kind of place where you can go for a business luncheon, a hot date, a leisure weekend lunch, and of course, to celebrate Mother’s Day.
Fans of il Lido will be happy to know that restaurateur Beppe De Vito is now back to helm the kitchen. He is not only cooking there every night, but he is also managing the service front-line. Beppe will be attending to each table and explain the specials before heading to the kitchen to cook. I have no doubt that il Lido is going to soar to greater heights now that he is personally managing both the service and the kitchen.
il Lido is having a Mother’s Day Luncheon on 12th & 13th May, and the 5 course set lunch is only $68++. Fantastic deal!

One-Ninety at Four Seasons
I went for One Ninety’s Sunday Champagne Brunch over the weekend, and I have to say I am rather impressed by the quality of the buffet. What’s there not to like when you have Alaskan king crab, lobsters, and an amazing antipasti counter? The dessert section by Pastry Chef Audrey was equally impressive.
For Mother’s Day Sunday Brunch at Four Seasons, the restaurant has prepared a Mother’s Day Gift – a complimentary chocolate raspberry cake (300g) – for all mothers. Sunday Brunch prices on May 13th 2012 are $198++ (Veuve Clicquot Brut), and $138++ (non-alcoholic options).

Our Korner Bistro
Located at the beautiful Scarlet Hotel, Our Korner is a classy yet laid-back restaurant which serves a wide variety of food on its menu. From laksa clam chowder to chicken schnitzel, and burgers, Our Korner has a bit of everything.
While I feel that prices are slightly steep for the quality of food, I love the vibe of the restaurant. Appetisers start from $14-22, while mains are from $20-35.

Putien – a casual dining Chinese restaurant – is the place place to go for a simple Mother’s Day dinner. This Mother’s Day, the chefs at Putien have prepared several set menus which range from $128++ for four to $578++ for 10. It will be served from May 1 to 14 for Mother’s Day.

So bring your parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents along to celebrate Mother’s Day at all three Si Chuan Dou Hua restaurants.

The Courtyard
The Courtyard at Fullerton Hotel needs no introduction – it is one of the most popular high tea spots in Singapore. Bring your mom to enjoy creations like Raspberry Macaroons, Rose-flavoured Madeleines and Petit Cupcakes.
Priced at $46++, the Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea is available from 12 to 13 May 2012.

Note: we had tasting portion for two. The actual portion is twice the size.
Yakitori Emmau
For Mother’s Day 2012, Yakitori Emmau at Ion Orchard is offering a special Collagen Tori Nabe set menu for 4 pax at only $120. The set comes with Caesar Salad; assorted Sashimi platter of Maguro, Salmon, Kanpachi, Mekajiki, Amaebi; Yakitori platter of Wagyu oroshi, Negima, Tsukune Umeshiso, Aspara Buta, Enoki Bacon; Tori Nabe soup which has a generous serving of ingredients; and the Enmaru Roll – an assortment of fresh sushi on a maki roll.
It is definitely more than enough food for a family of four, and at just $30/pax, I think it is a fantastic deal. If your mom loves Japanese food, this is the place to bring her for a treat.
The Mother’s Day promotion at Yakitori Emmau is available during lunch and dinner, and it runs for the entire month of May.
