Celebrate Mother’s Day at Mr. Chow at Malibu Country Mart

I’m a big fan of Malibu Country Mart. The only time I ever go there is when I am meeting someone from Santa Monica or other parts on the West side, or people who also love to go to the Malibu Country Mart. It’s such a lovely, breezy place, and the drive there along Las Virgenes is always beautiful. My car doesn’t have a working CD player or any way to play mp3’s, and the radio doesn’t come in well, and I lose cell signal, so I often drive the route without sound. So relaxing.

Malibu Country Mart is a perfect spot for a Sunday drive and Mother’s Day brunch. Mr. Chow is holding a prix fixe meal event from 11:30am -2:30pm in honor of Mother’s Day. Did you know that it’s the 100th year of Mother’s Day? Why not make it extra special? At Mr. Chow, every mom will get a complimentary glass of Champagne, and a rose.
