Mother's Day in Florianópolis: where to have lunch and celebrate with good food and special moments.

Restaurants in the capital are betting on complete experiences for the celebratory weekend, with options ranging from family lunch (or dinner) to desserts made to order.

---

Mother's Day, celebrated on Sunday (May 10th), boosts gastronomic brands and restaurants in Florianópolis, which invest in experiences designed to bring families together around the table. More than just the traditional lunch, the aim is to provide complete moments that combine good food, welcoming environments and, in many cases, attractions for different ages.

From beachfront houses to contemporary venues, the capital offers options that value both the on-site experience and alternatives for those who prefer to celebrate at home – or even anticipate the date – with dishes and desserts made to order. We've gathered nine suggestions to enjoy this period.

Bonomi (Tavares River) For those who prefer to avoid the obvious and celebrate Mother's Day more calmly throughout the week, Bonomi, in the south of the island, is an excellent choice.

The restaurant focuses on original, uncomplicated cuisine full of personality, with dishes to share, fresh ingredients, and a light and welcoming experience — ideal for gathering the family around the table. Bonomi is closed on Sundays, but operates from Tuesday to Saturday for dinner, making it a great option to anticipate or extend the celebration with good food, natural wines, and a relaxed atmosphere.
