Michelin-starred restaurants in Los Angeles. They serve the best of the best in gourmet cooking and even foreign cuisines this side of the United States.

Go on A Hollywood Tour
Hollywood is what has made Los Angeles the popular tourist destination it is today. Home to big studios and even bigger stars, the metropolis is all about fame and fortune. So why not get lost in all of that glittering magic with your mom? As cliche as it is, your mother might enjoy a Hollywood tour for a Mother's Day date. She's likely seen a lot more movies than you. And even if she hasn't, she'd still enjoy getting to see all the iconic spots that have made Hollywood the entertainment behemoth as the world knows it today.

Catch A Late Night Talk Show
Do note that going on a Hollywood tour doesn't automatically mean you'll get to meet celebrities. Many of Hollywood's A-listers live in LA, sure, but they're not exactly hanging out with the “
little people.” If you want your mom to see a few stars in person that are not on the Walk of Fame along
Hollywood Boulevard, your best bet is to score tickets to a live taping of a late-night talk show. Whether it's “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” or “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” you and your mom can be part of the live studio audience of these shows.

Don't forget that your own mom isn't the only mother in your life. There are also your sisters, aunts, cousins, and friends who have their own kids. Or perhaps you're a husband or life partner and your wife is a doting mother to your kids. In any case, if you want the moms in your life to have the most fun on Mother's Day, why not take them to Disneyland? You can't get any more family fun than that! And no matter how old your mom and the other moms in your life are, surely they all have their own favorite
Disney films, right? So they'd no doubt enjoy going here!
