Brunch at Casa Dani:
This Mother’s Day, Casa Dani invites guests to celebrate in the true spirit of Spanish Mediterranean hospitality, where food, music, and family come together in a warm, transportive setting.
On Sunday, May 10, Casa Dani will host a special Mother’s Day brunch and dinner experience, featuring a generous, all-you-can-enjoy spread of the restaurant’s most beloved dishes alongside live Spanish acoustic guitar. Rooted in the traditions of Spain, the experience is designed to feel both elevated and deeply personal, like gathering in the heart of a Spanish home.
The brunch menu highlights a selection of Casa Dani’s most popular and signature offerings with a breakfast twist, including Eggs Benedict with 5J Ibérico ham, classic Spanish tortilla, pan con tomate, and indulgent pistachio French toast. Guests can also enjoy savory favorites like bluefin tuna pinchos, gambas fritas, Ibérico ham croquettes, and patatas bravas topped with fried egg — dishes that reflect the bold, coastal flavors and communal dining culture of Spain. A curated dessert station will feature standout sweets such as burnt Basque cheesecake, caramelized rice pudding, chocolate mousse with vanilla chantilly, and traditional olive oil cake.
With its vibrant ambiance, live music, and menu rooted in Spanish tradition, Casa Dani offers one of Los Angeles’ most distinctive ways to celebrate Mother’s Day by bringing guests together in a setting that feels both festive and intimate. Reservations can be made on OpenTable or by calling the restaurant.
Porta Via in Calabasis:
Porta Via is a contemporary California bistro and bar with multiple Southern California locations, including its modern classic restaurant in Calabasas which opened in 2020. Porta Via restaurants serve lunch and dinner seven days a week, weekend brunch, offering Italian-inspired cuisine honoring proprietor Peter Garland’s cooking philosophy: “combine the best seasonal, organic ingredients and prepare them simply.” The menu is designed to be both classic and creative, with just the right amount of imagination to give patrons the feeling they’re at a “special” place. Garland and his staff hand-pick produce to ensure that only the finest food is served at his restaurants. Wild-caught and sustainable seafood and “all natural” meats are brought in daily, and their wine program features small-production wines, both domestic and imported, as well as organic, natural wines, craft cocktails and local beers.
For Mother’s Day Porta via offers its full-service food, drink and cocktail menu all day. “Sunday was family day and Mother’s Day brunch was a family tradition led by my father, Monroe,” Garland recalls. “French Toast and Eggs Royale (Smoked Salmon and Poached Eggs with Hollandaise on an English muffin with an organic baby greens salad) with fresh juices and mimosas led the way.” Not surprisingly, those two dishes found their way onto the Mother’s Day menu.
