Mother’s Day brunch
Treating mom to a special Mother’s Day brunch is one of the most popular ways of expressing love and gratitude for the moms and mother figures in your life. As such, if brunch is a part of your holiday plans, it’s best to make reservations at your local vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants well in advance, otherwise, you risk limited availability or trying your luck as a walk-in. But be warned: walk-ins are known to result in hours of waiting.
