Mother’s Day 2022 Brunch: Reserve Now In Culver City

CULVER CITY, CA — Mother’s Day on Sunday, May 8, is still a week away, but if you plan to treat your mother to brunch or dinner out, reservations may fill up quickly in Culver City as the nation approaches the most normal celebration of moms since the COVID-19 pandemic began.

Local restaurants in Culver City have taken a financial hit during the pandemic and could use the business. Some are closed so their employees can support their own mothers or be pampered by their children, but here are some options:

BIANCA: It's a "Mamma Mia Brunch" Sunday, May 8, featuring dishes inspired by Chef Gianni Vietin's mother & his grandmother, Bianca. (The restaurant's namesake!) Mimosas & sparkling wine cocktails also offered. Reservations via Resy. Or order such treats from Pastry Chef Federico Fernandez as Harry's Berries Strawberry Tart, Raspberry Mille Foglie, the signature MOM cookie (vanilla sandwich cookie spelling out "mom") or gift box of assorted cookies. Pre-orders due May 3 via Tock for May 7-8 pick-up. Reservations & order links here. At 8850 Washington Blvd., Culver City.

URBAN PLATES: The first 50 moms who come in Mother's Day will get roses, and the first 180 will receive complimentary chocolate pudding. Plus two new seafood dishes on menu: Roasted Barramundi Sea Bass Plate; and Wild Ahi Niçoise Salad. Locations include Long Beach, Manhattan Beach, Pasadena, Playa Vista, Thousand Oaks, Torrance & Woodland Hills.
