We live in Springfield, and travel to Portland quite frequently. I researched online to find Portland's best breakfast, and Mother's came up in the search results... so we tried it, and understand completely why they were chosen. They have a fairly extensive menu, and feature individual -- sometimes international -- mothers on the inside panel, which is fun to read. The food is delicious and unique, and is served in generous portion sizes. They have a tasty frittata that could easily serve two people! The atmosphere is pleasant and relaxed... reminds me a little of French country with an urban flair. We have had wonderful people serve us, and it has always been a treat to go there. I do advise that you make reservations well in advance... the last time we tried, they were already booked full!

Mother's is home to deliciously sophisticated, yet unfussy food. Be prepared for a long wait for brunch on the weekends, but, if the weather's nice, pull up a seat on the curb and enjoy people watching and some sunshine. My favorite thing about Mother's, other than the corn-flake coated French Toast (crispy and soft at the same time, yum!), is the fact that a large orange juice is actually LARGE (one pint to be exact), unlike the 8 oz you get most places. It's not cheap, but I like their honesty.

What an outstanding location, ambiance and food fit for a perfect Saturday morning! The service, home made hash and excellent coffee are the best in town.
