Mother's Day.
It's that wonderful time of the year where good ol' Mom gets the special day she deserves so why not treat her to a night out on the town? Mothers are the universal symbol for endless love and affection and it's our job to make sure that at least one night out of the year she gets the royal treatment. So instead of the typical chocolates and flowers, we've come up with a variety of restaurants throughout the Bay Area that we think are Mother-worthy.
Berkeley
Summer Kitchen is a quaint restaurant stocked by local farms and ran by eco-conscious chefs and owners. The menu is chock-full of classic Americana meals and desserts that will transport you to a time and place almost forgotten. It's casual dining made with a whole lot of love.
Elmwood Cafe is not only a well-known and respected family establishment, it's a small bit of history that sits on a corner lot in Berkley. The cafe itself was designed by famed architect John A. Bischoff and was originally a soda fountain shop in the early '20's and most of the interior of the cafe is from the original space. They make their soda in-house, along with their famous baked goods and coffee. Mom will appreciate the small-town ambiance so much so that she'll half-expect there to be a Bailey's Building and Loan right across the street.
San Francisco
Taqueria Los Coyotes in the Mission is authentic Mexican food at its best. At very reasonable prices, the menu is so vast that you'll be tempted to try dish after dish. And don't forget to treat your mom to a tasty pina colada or, a personal favorite, chavelas.
Tartine. Need we say more? Treat your mom to their world-famous bread and baked goods then take a stroll through Dolores Park.
Picaro specializes in authentic Spanish tapas and sangria, the perfect combination for the well-traveled Mom.
Burlingame
Mingalaba is located right on the main strip in downtown Burlingame and offers a mix of Burmese and Mandarin vegetarian dishes for the food-conscious Mom. After dinner, you can explore all of the different boutiques and shops that make up Burlingame Ave.
Taste In Mediterranean Food is the place to take the whole family, with hefty portions and a wide range of vegetarian and meat platters and items to choose from, everyone will find what they love.
Pleasanton
Nonni's Bistro offers artisan breakfasts and brunches with a European flare. And we all know that mothers love to go to brunch!
Mountain View
Cascal is Spanish tapas in an other-worldy, intimate setting; perfect for new and experienced parents alike for a little romance.
Sushi Tomi, located off of Castro Street, offers a large dinner menu of authentic Sushi and Japanese cuisine.
Los Altos
Los Altos Grill is where you can find slow, fire roasted rotisserie for a good, ol' fashioned meal. Ideal for both a family outing or an intimate dinner.
Sumika offers a seasonal, authentic Japanese menu which includes organic meats and veggies.
Campbell
Blue Line Pizza, sister restaurant to the famous Little Star Pizza in SF, does not disappoint if you've been a customer of the original. From deep-dish to buffalo wings to salads, their menu is designed to please even the pickiest eater. And don't forget to try one of their signature cocktails, like the blue agave margarita.
And don't forget to get her a little something that says "Thanks for being such a great Mom".
