Show the mothers in your life how much you j'adore them with a Springtime in Paris Mother's Day Brunch at The Post Oak Hotel.
On Sunday, May 14, step into Houston's version of Rue Cler, Paris' renowned market street of charming cafes, pastry shops, and retail boutiques.
It helps that the hotel's award-winning executive chef, Jean Luc Royere, is originally from France. His menu is the backdrop for this unique Mother's Day experience that's happening on the hotel's mezzanine level.
On this Parisian food tour, enjoy bites from the butcher shop, or boucherie, offering delights like carved domestic lamb with tarragon beluga lentils and slow-cooked filet mignon with corn and sauce vierge.
The poissonerie is the ultimate destination for fresh fish, offering smoked salmon tartar as well as roasted Alaskan salmon with warm tomato-garbanzo salad and jerez vinaigrette.
The culinary journey continues with fresh-rolled sushi and nigiri at the sushi bar, shucked oysters with caviar at the brasserie, and a wide assortment of local and imported cheeses at the fromagerie alongside a variety of cured meats and sausages at the nearby charcuterie.
In true brunch fashion, traditional breakfast will also be offered and includes an omelet station, assorted individual breakfast quiches, and a sourdough pain perdu bar.
The hotel’s exceptional executive pastry chef Oralia Perez will spoil all at the boulangerie filled with decadent housemade breakfast pastries and breads.
Don’t forget to save room for dessert — Perez’s patisserie is filled with delicate yet refined miniature desserts and macarons, and the creperiewill provide delicious sweet crepes made a la minute.
Beverage options include classics such as freshly squeezed mimosas and traditional Bellinis as well as a champagne Bubble Bar created by the hotel’s esteemed mixologist Judith Piotrowski and inspired by a variety of French fragrances.
Favorites will surely include the Mademoiselle, made with infused Martini and Rossi Fiero, pink bubbles, and vanilla cedar aromatics, as well as the Je T’adore, which blends elderflower and cassis with bubbles and rose water aromatics.
Of course, guests will also have access to the hotel’s incredible Grand Award-winning Cellar at The Post Oak to treat Mom to that rare vintage or treasured bottle.
The celebratory brunch will also offer a Toy Boutique for kids to enjoy fun games and activities, face painting, a balloon artist, and a candy bar while adults can get their shopping fix from 29 North’s on-property retail boutique.
Before departure, family photos to commemorate this special day will be available in front of a floral wall, while mothers will receive lavender bouquets and piped floral “spring garden” cupcakes to take home.
The Springtime in Paris Mother’s Day Brunch will take place from 10 am-4 pm on Sunday, May 14, in the Post Oak Ballroom.
Adult tickets are $160 per person, inclusive of non-alcoholic beverages and one welcome drink from the Parfum Bubble Bar. Children ages 5-12 are $68 per person, while children under five are complimentary.
