The Best Places to Take Mum This Mother’s Day in Perth

Perth does Mother’s Day well. Between the rooftop views, the Freo waterfront, the beachside settings and the pubs that actually know how to run a Sunday, there are options here for every mum. Whether Mum wants bottomless drinks on a rooftop, a High Tea that earns the occasion, or a long family day at the beach with someone else doing the cooking — it’s all here.

Here are the spots worth booking before they sell out.

Rooftop Bottomless Brunch

If you’re going to do a bottomless brunch for Mother’s Day, you may as well do it on a rooftop with live music. The Aviary is one of Perth’s most well-loved elevated venues, and its Mother’s Day Bottomless Brunch is the kind of booking that requires very little selling once you say “rooftop, flowing drinks, and a gift for Mum on arrival.”

Sessions run at 11am and 2:30pm on Sunday 11th May, pairing brunch favourites with live music and a drinks package that keeps the celebration moving. Every mum dining receives a special gift, and every booking goes into the draw to win a luxury hamper — a generous touch that elevates the whole morning beyond just the food.

If you want to make it even more of an occasion, an Avenue Hamper is available to add to the reservation for an extra special touch for mum.

All Day, Beachside, No Agenda Required

Some venues suit the occasion perfectly without needing to try too hard, and Scarborough Beach Bar is exactly that for Mother’s Day. Open from breakfast through to sunset, it’s built around the kind of day where Mum gets to decide the pace — and that’s a rare gift in itself.

Start with a coffee and a big brekkie as the morning light hits the water, move into a bottomless lunch with spritzes somewhere in the middle, and stretch the afternoon out by the ocean if the mood takes you. The set up is flexible, the ocean views are doing consistent work, and the whole setting manages to feel like a treat without requiring any particular effort from the family. Sometimes the best present is a venue that handles everything so you don’t have to.

For the mum who loves the beach, loves a relaxed Sunday and prefers her day to unfold naturally, Scarborough Beach Bar is the move.

The Cherry Blossom High Tea

High teas are everywhere on Mother’s Day, but Sweetwater’s is doing something genuinely different. The Cherry Blossom High Tea runs from 11am and brings in an Asian-fusion menu — a considered pairing of sweet and savoury bites with bottomless T2 tea at $55 per person, or $99 with a full bottomless beverage package for the mums who want bubbles with their blossom.

The Fremantle setting adds its own texture — there’s a natural ease to this part of Perth that makes a long, unhurried afternoon feel completely appropriate.

If the afternoon option suits better, Sweetwater also runs a Mother’s Day Feed Me menu from 12pm to 4pm at $99 per person, followed by the regular à la carte dinner menu from 5pm. A spot that offers this many ways to celebrate one day is a pub that genuinely wants you to enjoy yourself.

Arrival Spritzes, Free-Flowing Bubbles, and Two Hours Well Spent

Raffles has a certain weight to it. It’s the kind of pub that suits a Mother’s Day booking where Mum actually wants to feel like she’s being looked after properly — not just fed and sent home. The Mother’s Day High Tea here is built around that instinct, pairing an arrival spritz cocktail and high tea nibbles with two hours of free-flowing bubbles at $99 per person.

Sessions at 11am and 2:30pm keep things easy, and the set up does the work of the day for you: arrive, be handed a spritz, sit down, and let the afternoon take care of itself. It’s elegant without being stiff, and the two-hour bottomless element gives it an energy that a standard High Tea sometimes lacks.

For the mum who appreciates quality over quantity, a considered setting over a chaotic one, and bubbles that don’t stop — Raffles delivers cleanly on all of it.

The Roast, the Ube Cake, and the Kids’ Craft Table

Sometimes the right call is a warm, generous family Sunday — and The Bentley has built exactly that around its giant Yorkie roast.

Chef Jel’s oversized Yorkshire pudding is the centrepiece and it earns its reputation, but the thing that makes this one work as a full family occasion is the detail around it. There’s a kids’ crafting table for handmade cards, which keeps the little ones busy while the adults eat in peace — a detail that every parent of young kids will recognise as genuinely thoughtful. An acoustic soloist runs from 1:30pm to 5:30pm, turning lunch into a proper long afternoon.

And then there’s the Ube Cake. The purple Filipino dessert sits alongside the roast as a playful contrast — familiar comfort food and something a little unexpected, which sums up The Bentley’s approach nicely.

For families who want their Mother’s Day to feel warm and considered, this is the one.

When is Mother’s Day 2026 in WA?

Sunday 11th May 2026.

Do I need to book ahead?

Yes — and sooner rather than later. High Teas and bottomless brunches like The Aviary and Raffles tend to sell out weeks in advance. Don’t leave it to the week before.

Are there options for families with young kids?

Several. The Bentley’s kids’ craft table, Parkerville’s face painting, Claremont’s kids’ activities and Guildford’s kids’ entertainment are all designed with families in mind.

What if Mum prefers a sleep-in over an early breakfast?

Most venues are running lunch and dinner options throughout the day — Scarborough Beach Bar, The Peninsula and The Bentley all offer all-day options. The Aviary’s 2:30pm session is also a great option for a later start.
