Oh, Mothers. They’re all so different and so special. From the outdoorsy mom to the foodie mom, the overworked mom to the sporty mom, we’ve compiled a list to please them all!
For the Outdoorsy Mom
Enjoy the many beautiful outdoor spaces Montreal has to offer. Whether it be at Beaver Lake, Westmount Park or by the water in the Old Port, Montreal has no shortage of beautiful outdoor spots to choose from! Prepare a basket of goods or pick up brunch from one of your favourite spots and enjoy it in the great outdoors! Which brings us to our next point…

For the Foodie Mom
If Montreal is famous for one thing, it would probably be our food scene. Ever heard of the Montreal bagel? Yup - we thought so 🤤. Pick up brunch from some of our favourite neighbourhood spots like Tommy Cafe, Olive and Groumando or Le Cartet Resto Boutique or DIY it and create your own masterpiece at the Atwater Market or Jean-Talon Market where you’ll enjoy fresh cheeses, meats and produce!

We all know the mom who's been doing the most during the pandemic - working from home, homeschooling, cooking 3 meals, tending to the laundry… yup, a real life superhero! We can only imagine how much this mom would enjoy some time to herself. A day at a lovely Old Montreal spa like Spa Scandinave or Bota Bota will be exactly what she needs. But don’t end it there… let your mom soak in the relaxation just a little longer by booking her a night stay at a nearby hotel, like Maisons & Co., for example! (hehe)

For the Sporty Mom
If the name of the game for your mom is to stay active, here’s a couple things you could do. Grab your bikes or rent some BIXI’s and ride along the lovely Lachine Canal, enjoy the trails at Mount Royal or simply explore the city by following the it’s many bike paths.
Want to head out of the city? Drive up to Mont-Tremblant, the highest peak in the Laurentians, and choose from one of their 11 stunning trails, ranging from 1-11 km. You will be sure to get some beautiful views while also working up a sweat!
