In other Muse news—the museum-inspired restaurant presents a soaring Mother’s Day Brunch to seriously mull over. Thank Mom like she deserves by treating her to a time-honored brunch tradition, but in an untraditional celebration—wandering the exquisite bayfront rose gardens, touring historical art, stumbling upon peculiar statues and taking in breathtaking vistas of/from Ca’ d’Zan. But first, sit the family down for an indulgent bite. Dine inside Muse’s comfortable yet magnificently contemporary aesthetic, or have a seat on the scenic patio taking in views of surrounding flora, including lily pads and background fountain sounds. It’s the ideal dining spot to complement a day in the galleries and exploring the grounds with ol’ mumsy. 

The à la Carte menu offers a culinary adventure featuring inventive riffs on classic cuisine. For actual starters, initiate the feast with Vong’s Squash Toast for the table—served with crisp lavash crackers, maple onion confit and mascarpone—or the Caesar’s Deviled Eggs with romaine, parmesan and garlic crumbs. Further satiate the palate with entrees including traditional breakfast dishes such as The Smithsonian—scrambled eggs, pancake, sausage links, applewood bacon and homefries. Or go the more trendy route and try the Toasted Coconut Pancakes with Nokomis honey butter, warm maple syrup and fresh fruit. Cannonball yourself into the ‘favorite child’ rank by ordering her a specialty cocktail off of Muse’s Mixology menu. She’ll surely love a Quintessential Cosmo, or maybe she’s not as bright-eyed and bushy-tailed as she should be on her special day—then go with the Up & At’em made of Plantation Dark Rum, St. George NOLA Coffee Liqueur, Amaro Nonino, espresso coffee beans and nutmeg. Cheers to getting Mom toasty and full this Sunday. 

Brunch is served 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. Reservations are highly recommended for one of the year’s busiest holidays for restaurants. For online reservations, full menu previews and further information, visit the link below.
