If you’re looking to go absolutely ‘all out’ and show Mum she’s the true MVP, Aria is the heavyweight champion of Sydney dining. This isn’t just a meal; it’s a front-row seat to the most iconic harbour view in the world. For Mother’s Day 2026, Aria is offering a bespoke five-course menu that’ll have her Instagramming every single plate. It starts with a glass of champagne on arrival because obviously, followed by world-class modern Australian cuisine. Despite the high-end reputation, they actually have a brilliant children’s set menu for $65, so the little ones can join the celebration without having to eat pureed lobster. The service is impeccable, the wine list is legendary, and the atmosphere is pure Sydney sophistication. It’s the ultimate way to say ‘sorry for being a difficult teenager’ in one afternoon. Be prepared for a premium price tag, but for a milestone year or just to spoil the woman who raised you, it’s worth every cent. Bookings are mandatory and fill up months in advance, so don’t be a drongo and miss out!
