From Italian brunches to chef-led afternoon teas, Nacre’s 2026 guide to celebrating Mother’s Day in Kuala Lumpur this 10 May.

Cover Mother’s Day 2026 Dining Guide

Mother’s Day in Kuala Lumpur has become one of the dining calendar’s most sought after celebrations—and this year, the city’s hotels and restaurants are rising to meet it. From leisurely Italian brunches channelling the spirit of the Amalfi Coast to afternoon teas led by some of the city’s most compelling pastry talent, the options span formats, settings, and moods. Whether you’re planning a long table lunch, a quiet afternoon over tea, or a weekend that begins at brunch and ends at check-in, this is Nacre’s edit of where to take her this year.

Mother’s Day falls on 10 May 2026. More venues will be added to this list over the coming days. Check back soon.

Hyatt Centric City CEntre Kuala Lumpur

Sun-drenched and unhurried, La Festa della Mamma at IL Forno draws its spirit from the Amalfi Coast — the kind of Sunday where the table is always full and nobody is in a rush to leave. The brunch is abundant without being excessive: seafood on ice, a dedicated Mozza Bar, pass-around pastas and pizzas, and mains that lean into the comfort of slow cooking. Dessert closes on a theatrical note with a live Zabaione station and ruby chocolate fountain. Each mum leaves with a chef-crafted fresh handmade pasta to take home — a quiet, considered touch that lingers past the meal itself.

La Festa Della Mamma: Mother’s Day Brunch at IL Forno
Time: 12.30–2.30 PM
Prices: RM188 nett per adult; RM94 nett per child

Discounts:
Early bird (until 4 May): 15% off

The Majestic Kuala Lumpur

Not every Mother’s Day celebration belongs at the table. The Majestic Kuala Lumpur’s offering this year is quieter and more considered: a writing workshop led by Intan Maizura Ahmad Kamal, held in the Writers’ Room on 9 May, the day before. Framed around the latest gathering of The Majestic Writers’ Guild, the session uses expressive writing as a way to explore relationships with mother-figures, caretakers, and mentors. Simple prompts with no pressure toward perfectio, just an honest afternoon of reconnection and reflection. Bespoke writing materials and The Majestic’s signature afternoon tea are included, be creative and be present.

Mother’s Day Writing Workshop & Afternoon Tea
Date: 9 May 2026
Time: 2.00–5.30PM
Prices: RM200++ per person

Reservations: WhatsApp or guestservices@majestickl.com

Alila Bangsar

Mother’s Day Sunday Brunch at Botanica+Co earns its place on personality alone. A carving trolley of premium grass-fed beef striploin arrives tableside, the live station turns out Spanish saffron-infused seafood paella, and each mother receives a complimentary portrait illustration — a detail that quietly sets the afternoon apart from a standard hotel spread. For those wanting to extend the occasion, Alila Bangsar is offering 20% off room rates for a weekend staycation, making it one of the more complete Mother’s Day propositions in the city — brunch that leads naturally into a night of doing nothing at all.

Mother’s Day Sunday Brunch at Botanica + Co
Time: 12.00–3.30PM
Prices: RM108+ per adult, RM52 per child

W Kuala Lumpur

W Brunch at FLOCK begins at Living Room with espresso martinis and a DJ setting the tone before moving into FLOCK for a feast running from Wagyu Mapo Sando to Four Peppercorn Prime Rib Roast. Mums get a dedicated hour of free-flow espresso martinis, with the afternoon spilling out to WET Deck for poolside beats above the city.

One floor below the Deck, Yum Cha at YEN takes the quieter route. A 90-minute free-flow dim sum ritual where handcrafted Cantonese classics meet Chef Weng’s exclusive Mother’s Day additions such as crystal scallop dumplings, peanut-coated sesame sweets, and chilled bird’s nest with rock melon, all set against the KL Tower skyline.

W Brunch: Mother’s Day Edition at FLOCK & Living Room

Imperial Lexis Kuala Lumpur

Perched on Level 52, UMI Japanese Restaurant makes a case for Mother’s Day dinner with a UMI Mummy Bliss—a five-course modern fusion menu built around premium ingredients — truffle, caviar, fresh seafood, with an optional wagyu upgrade for mains. Children can join a hands-on culinary activity while mums receive a complimentary signature mocktail, making it as much a family occasion as a dining one. For those celebrating over lunch, Roselle Coffee House hosts A Mum-morable High Tea buffet on 10 May where every mother arrives to a welcome drink, a complimentary shoulder massage, and a rose — small gestures that set a considered tone before the food even begins.

Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur

At Merdeka Grill, the Mother’s Day Sunday Brunch unfolds against the KL skyline — a considered sequence of savoury and sweet that opens with Hamachi Crudo and moves through seasonal dishes before closing on dessert. Mothers receive artisanal bath salts and a spa credit, with an optional flower bouquet-making session with the in-house florist available for those who want to extend the afternoon.

For a quieter occasion, Park Lounge offers an exclusive Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea across three days, the menu moving between Arctic shrimp salad, scallop dumpling, and pink guava sorbet, with the dessert trolley brought tableside. Those celebrating at home can order from the Bakery Bar’s Mother’s Day collection by Chef Holger Deh, available for pre-order and takeaway.

Mother’s Day Sunday Brunch at Merdeka Grill

Fritz

Fritz’s Sunday Lunch is a once-a-month occasion, and Mother’s Day falls within it naturally. The setting does a lot of the work — double-height curtain walls flood the room with natural light and frame an unobstructed city skyline, making it one of the more quietly spectacular dining rooms in KL when the sun is up. The meal itself is generous and unhurried: freshly baked breads with truffle butter, a seafood plate spanning tempura oyster, torched cured mackerel, grilled octopus ceviche, and prawn cocktail, followed by a choice of roasted Argentinian Angus sirloin or salmon en croûte, and a dessert table to close. Free-flow Champagne Lombardi Axiome Brut is available for those wanting to extend the afternoon well past dessert.

Mother’s Day Sunday Lunch at Fritz, Troika Sky Dining
Time: 12.00–3.00PM
Prices: RM220++ per person, free-flow champagne RM450++ per person (Menu)

Reservations: UMAI, WhatsApp or frontdesk@troikaskydining.com

Potager x Doña Bakehouse

For Mother’s Day weekend, Potager’s Head Pastry Chef Joo welcomes Chef Jasmine Teo—founder of Doña Bakehouse and a self-taught pastry chef—for a two-day afternoon tea that is equal parts rigour and heart. Set within Potager’s bamboo-lined oasis in Bamboo Hills, the menu is a merging of two distinct sensibilities: classical French technique and Jasmine’s instinct for flavour that is both refined and deeply personal. A fitting way to celebrate Mother’s Day—two women at the table, in the fullest sense.

Potager x Doña Bakehouse Mother’s Day High Tea at Potager, Bamboo Hills
Dates: 9 & 10 May 2026
Time: 2.30–4.30PM
Prices: RM250+ per guest

Reservations: For 9 May | For 10 May

Cliff and Max

Tucked in Petaling Jaya, Cliff & Max is a zen-designed tea salon and lifestyle studio that hosts regular ikebana workshops and tea tastings alongside a considered retail edit of essential oils, candles, and sprays. For Mother’s Day, the studio brings both together in a guided ikebana session where the two of you arrange flowers side by side, followed by a quiet tea to close. Each participant leaves with their completed arrangement and vase, the experience extending naturally into the home. Sessions run on 9 May, designed unhurriedly for two.

Mother’s Day Ikebana with Tea at Cliff and Max, Ara Damansara
Date: 9 May 2026
Time: 11.00AM or 2.30PM
Prices: RM400 for two
