As Mother's Day (14/05) approaches, surprise your mom with a grand gesture. It's simple - take her to dinner at one of these 10 luxurious restaurants, and I guarantee she'll be delighted :)
1. Pizza 4P’s
Introduced a few years ago, the Pizza 4P's restaurant chain - known for its Japanese-style pizza, has expanded with various branches. However, my favorite remains the familiar address on Le Thanh Ton that I recommend taking your Mom to try at least once.

Your mom will surely be pleasantly surprised and reassured to know that the ingredients for the pizza at the restaurant are all natural. For example, the cheese is made from pure cow's milk sourced from farms in Dalat, and the vegetables are also collected from Dalat farms, etc. The menu is diverse, offering not only pizzas but also other options like Italian pasta, salads to satisfy different tastes.

In addition to pizza, you can opt for some other choices like Italian pasta or salads to tantalize your taste buds. @Pizza 4P's
Moreover, the venue offers spacious seating, both indoors and outdoors, allowing you to choose a spot that suits your preferences. Keep in mind that the place tends to be quite crowded, even on regular days, so it's advisable to call and reserve a table in advance to ensure a complete and fulfilling day with Mom (without starving due to waiting).

2. El Sol
Being a Western restaurant with a touch of elegance, El Sol offers a reasonably priced experience. Though the venue is a bit small, it's cozy and clean, perfect for a mother-daughter duo to enjoy a meal and heart-to-heart conversation. Upon arrival, you can park your vehicle at the parking lot across the street from the restaurant.

Despite its modest size, the place is cozy and neat, making it ideal for a meal and heartfelt talks for both mothers and daughters. @ELSOLMEAT&WINE
The steaks here are grilled to perfection, offering a range of doneness options such as rare, medium rare, and well-done to suit your taste. Each serving comes with a delectable cream sauce and uniquely flavored potato wedges. If you're still not satisfied, you can add extra toppings, salads, and pasta to satisfy your cravings. Enjoying a hearty meal like this will only set you back around 600,000 VND for two people, definitely worth a try, don't you think?

3. The First
Adjacent to El Sol, you might want to try The First – a place that doubles as both a restaurant and a café, allowing you to combine dinner with a leisurely coffee chat with Mom. The place can be a bit tricky to find, so I recommend using Grab or Uber for a quick arrival. Just input the address, and you'll be right there, no need to navigate the streets like when riding a motorbike. Despite its small and charming space, it's clean, neat, and the staff's service attitude is always excellent.

Beyond the deliciousness of the beef, perfectly grilled and seasoned, The First's other dishes receive high praise from diners, such as tacos, salads, Italian pasta, and more. A small note: the portions are a bit on the smaller side, so ordering a few dishes at once might be necessary if you want to leave satisfied. Prices will range around 600,000 VND + for two people.

Another plus is that besides the main courses, you can also order delightful desserts such as mango ice cream and coconut sticky rice.

When it comes to the list of restaurants for Mom, you can't miss Cô Ba Xứ Quảng, also known as Bếp Nhà Cô Ba. This relatively new eatery attracts a large number of diners partly because of its diverse menu, excellent food quality, and partly due to the charm of the owner - Ms. Đoàn Thu Thủy, Top 3 Masterchef Vietnam.
