According to a recent OpenTable survey, 66% of Canadian diners believe choosing the right restaurant is the most important part of the Mother’s Day experience.

For those in the Okanagan, there are four restaurants that have cracked OpenTable’s top 100 restaurants that offer the best brunch.

Lake Country’s Block One Restaurant at 50th Parallel Estate Winery, Kelowna’s DunnEnzies Pizza, Summerland’s Shaughnessy’s Cove and West Kelowna’s Old Vines Restaurant at Quails’ Gate Estate Winery all made it onto the list, which was released last week.

The OpenTable survey, which was conducted in late March, found that 40% of Canadians are planning to dine out on Mother’s Day, which is May 8.

“We are seeing pent-up demand for dining out across the country, with reservations up 21 per cent compared to pre-pandemic levels,” OpenTable Canada director Matt Davis said in a press release.

“Mothers and mother figures will be truly celebrated this year, as they should, and OpenTable’s 100 Best Brunch list is the perfect place for inspiration as Canadians plan to honour the mother figures in their lives.”

Ontario is the province with the most restaurants among the top 100, with 51, while B.C. is second with 33.
