Mother’s Day is the most important day each year that husbands and kids are entrusted to make their mom feel as special as she makes every day feel at home. This year, Austinites can treat her to a fancy, multi-course sushi dinner or a delectable brunch buffet for a hands-off celebration on Sunday, May 11.

Plan ahead (like mom would), and book a reservation at any of these Austin restaurants for a Mother’s Day to remember:
