Scrambling to make last-minute Mother’s Day plans? There’s a lot going on in Miami this weekend, from lavish brunches at beautiful outdoor restaurants to deals and specials just for mamas. Here are our top picks for celebrating Mother’s Day in Miami.

Peacock Garden

Recently redesigned, Peacock Garden is one of Coconut Grove’s most stunning places to dine. Treat your mother to crispy crusted brie, fresh oysters, Maine lobster rolls, daily roasted delicacies and world-class cocktails. Indoor seating is available in the restaurant’s beautiful new dining room, though we prefer grabbing a table in their lush, enchanting garden.
