We are spoilt for choice this year in spite of things and we, for one, are grateful. Mother’s Day can be celebrated without hesitation with any one (or a combination of) these thoughtful Cork city options. From afternoon tea at home to tapas and grazing boxes, you can celebrate her in the comfort of your own home. Seriously, she doesn’t have to lift a finger.
Every single one of these options involves contactless pre-ordering and contactless collection (in some cases delivery). Safe, easy, and you don’t have to tell the kids to behave in public!
We have a separate post with just the Mother’s Day special brunch options, but they’re also included below so this is a one-stop all-encompassing post. When I compiled this post, I excluded those options which were already sold out (eg, Good Day Deli and Farmgate) to avoid disappointment.
