Takeaway Meals Perfect For Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day rolls around but once a year, which means only one thing: treating your ma like a Qween. Whether you’re planning a laid back brunch or sending something tasty her way, a good meal is always the safest bet. Luckily, there are plenty of spots on Just Eat that can do the heavy lifting for you.
Flowers wilt, candles melt, but a great meal? That’s real love language stuff right there folks. Here are a few places you can order from that feel especially appropriate for the day that’s in it.
Farmer Browns
There’s only one way to kick Mother’s Day and that’s with a boujee brunch, and Farmer Browns is a great place to start. Founded in 2011 by sisters Grace and Finnuala, who know a thing or two about being mammies themselves, run the place with a warm, homely vibe. Their proper brunch dishes will quantum leap you right back to childhood. We’re talking Belgian Waffles, a full on fry complete with doorstop toast, the kinds of things your mammy cooked when she was your personal breakfast chef.
Delivery Friendly Dish: Brunch Bap €14.50
Zaira
If you’re looking for something nourishing yet big on flavour this Mother’s Day, Zaira is your mamn. Owned by Brazilian couple Adriana and Marcelo, they named it after both of their grandmothers – who coincidentally shared the same name. The menu is inspired by the wholesome cooking that Middle Eastern grandmothers absolutely nail. With locations in Smithfield and the Priory Market in Tallaght, make sure to try out their Esfiha, a snack that became hugely popular in Brazil after Lebanese and Syrian immigration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Delivery Friendly Dish: Zaira Wrap €12.50
Little Washer
If you want something that feels like a hug on a plate (from yer ma, preferably), Little Washer is a very strong shout. Run by the female-led Winding Stair group, this cosy neighbourhood joint delivers proper Italian comfort food – as if it was cooked by an actual nonna. Their slow-braised beef shin tagliatelle is deeply savoury and satisfying, and their homemade tiramisu is exactly the kind of thing that should be eaten slowly on a Sunday afternoon with your mumsie.
Delivery Friendly Dish: Slow Braised Beef Shin Tagliatelle and Tiramisu €32
Deli 613
For something a little different, Deli 613 in Rathmines is a Jewish mom-and-pop style deli that leans heavily into NYC deli classics. Their sandwiches are legendary and absolutely massive (both in size and the Dublin sense), their mezze plates plentiful, but the real stars might be the baked goods. Think chocolate rugelach, dense fudgey brownies, and beautiful loaves of challah, all made using grandmother’s recipes no doubt. It’s the kind of baking that tastes like it came straight from a New York family kitchen.
Delivery Friendly Dish: Salt Beef Sandwich & Chocolate Fudge Brownie €15.50
