Celebrate Mother's Day with a beautiful, plant-forward buffet brunch at the Centre for Social Innovation on Spadina. Caterer Alissa Kondogiannis, known for her work with Barnstar Kitchen, has curated a menu that feels like a warm, home-cooked meal but with a sophisticated, elegant twist.

The Menu Expect a gorgeous spread featuring warm-from-the-oven tarts, fresh salads, and exquisite pastries.
