Mothers’ Day is, normally, one of the busiest days of the year for Portland brunch restaurants, if not the busiest. But gone are the long lines out the doors, flower-strewn tables covered in egg dishes and waffles, and endless parades of champagne flutes going from bar to tables. As restaurant dining rooms remained closed indefinitely, Portland restaurants and bars are finding new ways to supply moms and mother figures with brunch items and mimosas, whether that’s to-go packages or deliveries of wine and flowers. Here are nine options for Mother’s Day specials in the time of COVID-19.

Brunch

Ava Gene’s

The Italian institution Ava Gene’s is offering a special Mother’s Day brunch in addition to its usual takeout meal kits and market items. Pre-orders go live on the order website Thursday, March 7, with pickup times from Friday to Sunday. Specials will include a “Breakfast in Bed” box for two at $35, with take and bake potato gratin, olive oil cake with strawberries and whip cream, asparagus and goat cheese strada, and prosciutto. There will also be flower bouquets, mimosa kits, and babka waffles.

Marco’s Cafe

Nestled in Multnomah Village, the old school cafe Marco’s Cafe has a Mother’s Day brunch bundle — the bundle is $75 and feeds up to four people, with a quiche, pastries, yogurt parfait, spring salad, truffles, and orange juice.

Orders should be called in at (503) 245-0199 and need to be placed by 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 9. Delivery is available for those within a five-mile radius, and orders will go out between 8 and 11 a.m. on Sunday.

There’s also a mimosa kit complete with a wine and muffin package, or all three as one grand Mother’s Day gift-box for $105. It’s all delivered by “hambulance” on Friday and Saturday before the holiday.

Both come as vegetarian or meat options, along with sides and pastries, beverages and options for sparkling wine or mimosa add-ons. Orders are available until 1 p.m. on Friday, May 8 — though they may sell out before that — and order forms are available here.

Kachka

One of the city’s essential Russian restaurants, Kachka is ready to go for the holiday with a Mother’s Day brunch for two package for pick-up and local delivery.

Each comes with a flight of three curated wines with options for style and color, and will be delivered on March 10. Orders must be placed on the website by Friday, May 8.
