Springtime in Paris Mother’s Day Brunch

The Forbes Five-Star Post Oak Hotel at Uptown Houston invites Houston-area residents and visitors to celebrate all of the terrific and hardworking Moms during its Springtime in Paris Mother’s Day Brunch on Sunday, May 14 where attendees will be transported to Houston’s version of Rue Cler, Paris’s renowned market street of charming cafés, boulangeries, pastry shops, specialty food stores, and retail boutiques.

The hotel’s award-winning Executive Chef Jean Luc Royere, who is originally from France, created the delectable menu for this unique Mother’s Day experience on the hotel’s mezzanine level. On the Parisian food tour, guests can enjoy bites from the butcher shop, 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 carved Roasted Alaskan Salmon with Warm Tomato-Garbonzo Salad and Jerez Vinaigrette. The culinary journey continues with fresh rolled sushi and nigiri at The Sushi Bar, caviar and shucked oysters 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 ranging from 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 house-made 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 Creperie will provide delicious, sweet crepes made a la minute.

Beverage options include a champagne Bubble Bar created by the hotel’s esteemed Mixologist Judith Piotrowski and inspired by a variety of French-touted 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. Classics such as freshly squeezed mimosas and traditional Bellinis will also be available. Alternatively, guests will have access to the hotel’s incredible collection of the 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 fresh floral wall, while mothers will receive lavender bouquets and piped floral “Spring Garden” cupcakes to take home.
