Where to Dine with Mom This Mother’s Day at SM MOA

Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and this year, I’m making it extra special.

With my birthday landing on the same day (lucky me!), I knew I had to find a place that could make both celebrations unforgettable. SM Mall of Asia (MOA) Complex checked all the boxes, and then some.

From May 2 to 19, 2025, SM MOA transforms into The Grand MOA Hotel, offering a mix of luxury, family-friendly fun, and culinary gems. Whether you’re planning a relaxed lunch or an elegant dinner with Mom, this is the perfect place to spoil her—because let’s face it, she deserves it.

Restaurants Worth Making a Reservation For

Here’s a quick look at the standout spots I’m most excited to try with my mom—and yes, maybe sneak in a birthday treat for myself too:

Prologue – Classy and refined, Prologue’s Norwegian Salmon is a dish I’ve heard foodies rave about. Ideal for moms who love elegant dining with bold flavors.

Maple Tree House – Authentic Korean barbecue? Yes, please. We love a good grill-it-yourself feast, and this place promises just that—with quality meats and cozy vibes.

Yappari Steak – A no-brainer for steak lovers. Their tender cuts are said to be both juicy and rich in flavor—just the thing for a celebratory dinner.

Barcino (at S Maison) – Spanish food always feels festive, and Barcino brings the party with flavorful pork dishes, tapas, and great wine.

One World Deli (MOA Square) – This spot is on my must-try list for their Black Angus Bone-In Ribeye—a gourmet experience perfect for sharing (or not!).

Cibo (MOA Square) – Sometimes a simple Tomato Basil Pizza Margherita hits the spot. Great for a relaxed bite after exploring the mall with Mom.

More Than a Meal: Make It a Memory

Beyond food, SM MOA has planned experiences that turn Mother’s Day into a full-on celebration:

Insta-worthy Photo Spots (May 2–11) – Perfect for capturing those special family moments.

Mom’s Day Fair (May 2–11) – Featuring local gifts, desserts, and thoughtful finds.

Fur Mom’s Pawchella Day (May 10) – Because pet moms deserve love, too!

Everything, from the ambiance to the activities, makes it easy to create beautiful memories without going far.

Why We’re Choosing SM MOA

For me, combining two meaningful occasions, my birthday and Mother’s Day, means finding a place that feels festive but also warm and personal. With its incredible dining scene, exclusive Mother’s Day promos, and thoughtful experiences, SM MOA Complex is that place.
