special day to dine out (78%) according to Brits, surpassing all other

hours of Mother's Day.* In 2024, over half (51%) of Mother's Day
reservations were made a week before - to increase chances of securing a

-- Passing the Booking Baton: Of those who prefer for someone else to take
the lead on the Mother's Day restaurant reservation, they say it's
because it's too stressful to find the right spot (20%) and they have
difficulty finding something within budget (20%).* OpenTable's Top 100
Restaurants for Brunch and Lunch list** is here to help alleviate those
challenges.

Fieldwork took place between 12th February - 18th February 2025. Data has been collected adhering to MRS (Market Research Society) and ESOMAR guidelines to ensure ethical and accurate data collection.
**The Top 100 Restaurants for Brunch and Lunch Methodology: OpenTable's Top 100 Restaurants for Brunch and Lunch in the UK for 2025 list is generated from over 850,000 reviews from verified OpenTable diners and dining metrics from 1st January 2024 - 31st December 2024. Restaurants with a minimum threshold of diner reviews were considered and evaluated by a compilation of unique data points, including diner ratings, the percentage of five star reviews, the number of alerts set, the percentage of reservations made in advance, percentage of capacity and direct searches. Metrics were weighted to comprise an overall score. The qualified restaurants were then ranked on having a minimum number of brunch reviews and Sunday lunch availability. The resulting list appears A-Z, not in ranked order.
