Mother’s Day is just around the corner, which means it’s time for you to pull out all the stops to pamper the first lady in your life. If you’ve already got the flowers, gifts and spa sessions sorted, a weekend brunch should be the next thing on your list. It’s the best way for everyone to get together and toast to the queen bee of the family. So take your pick from a meat lover’s dream to hearty Italian meals — or go crazy on indulgent spreads that include anything and everything.
Open just for Mother’s Day (they’re usually closed on Sundays), Artemis Grill offers a three-course lunch overlooking the glittering Marina Bay skyline. Start with salads or grilled king prawns, then move on to mains such as John Dory, grass-fed black angus tenderloin and beetroot tortellini. End on a sweet note with panna cotta or a chocolate trio of chocolate tart with mocha ice cream and passion fruit chocolate cake, or go for the assorted cheese platter.
