Although every mum deserves to be treated to a special dinner at least once a week, we know that does not always fit the budget. Luckily, Marina Pier in Glenelg is serving up a range of Mother’s Day specials this year, making it a little easier to spoil Mum without going overboard.
From buffet breakfasts and waterfront high teas to long lunches and Greek feasts, there are plenty of ways to celebrate while soaking up those signature seaside views. To help make planning easy, we’ve rounded up some of the Mother’s Day offers available from Marina Pier venues.
Ellenika Mother’s Day menu
If Mum loves a long lunch packed with Greek flavour, Ellenika has a special Mother’s Day menu on offer for $75 per person.
“It’s a beautiful day, a delicious “feed me” menu, and live music Mother’s Day at Ellenika is always something special,” the team shared.
“There’s just something about the atmosphere with great food, laughter, and time well spent with the people who matter most.
“And of course, the food never disappoints fresh, vibrant, and absolutely delicious.”
The menu includes dips, zucchini and cheese fritters, calamari, chicken souvlaki, lamb served with potatoes, Greek salad, and bite-sized desserts, making for a generous spread designed to share.
When: Sunday May 10th
Where: Marina Pier
Price: $75pp
The Wharf High Tea
For those after something a little more elegant, The Wharf is hosting a waterfront high tea designed to give Mum a slower, more thoughtful celebration. Guests can expect a selection of sweet and savoury treats, including lemon myrtle scones with jam and cream, along with barista coffee, juices and bottomless tea. For anyone wanting to elevate the experience even further, there is also the option to add a glass of sparkling or a mimosa.
The team says the event is all about giving Mum a moment that feels genuinely special.
“The Wharf is all about creating a moment just for Mum, something a little more thoughtful, a little more special,” the team shared.
“It’s an experience designed to slow things down, where she can truly relax, feel celebrated and enjoy uninterrupted time with the people she loves.”
With waterfront views and a more intimate setting, it offers a quieter alternative to the usual busy Sunday rush.
When: Sunday 9th May, from 2pm
Where: 4 Holdfast Promenade, Glenelg

Luciano’s on the Marina Breakfast Buffet
If pastries, fruit bars and a live crepe station sound good to your Mum, Nonna or other special maternal figure, Luciano’s breaky buffet is here for the win. Celebrate Mum with stunning ocean views, and a generous and vibrant buffet breakfast experience to start their day right.
“Our buffet features all the hot breakfast favourites alongside continental options, fresh pastries and seasonal fruit,” the team at Luciano’s said.
“A highlight of the morning is our live crepe station, adding a fun and interactive touch with made-to-order treats.”
The vibe is relaxed and family friendly, making it easy to bring all your favourite people together without the stress of choosing from a menu.
“Plus, we’ll be spoiling Mum with a little extra homemade treat to take home, so the celebration continues beyond the table.”
