6 Ways to Treat Mom This Mother's Day

With Mother's Day just around the corner, we're making plans to ensure that this year mom is in for a day she won't soon forget. Whether you're considering taking mom out to a delicious brunch, treating her to a special concert, or pampering her at the spa, you'll find it all right here and more in our neighborhood.

Take Mom to Brunch at Piggy Smalls

In the realm of mother-son culinary teams in Honolulu, Andrew and Loan Le almost certainly reign supreme. As the head-chef and founder of the wildly successful Pig and the Lady and Piggy Smalls restaurants, Andrew Le has always cited his mom—affectionately known as "Mama Le" as his primary inspiration. So much so, the restaurant's name is actually a testament to her (Andrew is the Pig and the Mama Le, who still works in the kitchen, is the Lady). With their award-winning Vietnamese-inspired gourmet cuisine on the table, you know that Piggy Smalls is going to bring the heat this Mother's Day with their special brunch menu. Give mom the gift of a meal she'll be talking about for years to come and reserve your table today.

Get Mani-Pedis with Mom at Paul Brown

For millennia, humans have flocked to spas to relax and unwind. From the Romans to modern times, taking time to treat yourself to a bit of relaxation and pampering has been a necessary indulgence. And with mom's busy schedule, you know she could use a little pampering. To treat your mom this Mother's Day, we recommend heading down to Paul Brown Salon and Spa and locking in double mani-pedis with mom. A little pampering while the two of you catch up is a sure-fire way to show your mom how much you care.

Treat Your Mom to a Show at the Blaisdell

Your mom helped kindle your love of the arts. Now, with Mother's Day fast approaching, you can return the favor. On Saturday, May 13 and Sunday May 14, the Hawaii Symphony Orchestra is paying homage to love and Romeo and Juliet as world-renowned Japanese violinist Sayaka Shoji takes the stage. This just might be the quickest way to pull at mom's heart strings. Tickets range in price from $34 to $92 and can be purchased online here.

If there's one thing we know, it's that moms love chocolate. When it comes to our special mom, not just any chocolate will do. That's why we've made Honolulu Chocolate Company our go-to destination for high-end, one-of-a-kind chocolate treats. While the chocolate-dipped strawberries are always a winner and are on-special for Mother's Day, our mom is partial to the chocolate-dipped orange slices, milk chocolate truffles, and double-dipped cherries. But then again, when it comes to gourmet chocolates from Honolulu Chocolate Co., it's hard to go wrong. Long-story short: treat your mother to a box or two of these special goodies.

Grab Cocktails at Nobu

While Nobu may be most known for their world-famous cuisine, cocktail connoisseurs will tell you that their gorgeous outdoor bar is as charming of a place to grab a drink and a small bite as anywhere in the city. If a big brunch or extended dinner for mom isn't possible, this is the next-best thing. With a sensational cocktail menu (we're smitten with the Pineapple Mescal) that includes an extensive champagne offering, toasting mom couldn't be more sophisticated.
