Mother’s Day Lunch at Da Maria
On Sunday, 10 May, Da Maria welcomes the special women in our lives for a Mother’s Day lunch shaped around family, generosity, and time well spent together. Set within its Capri-inspired Italian indoor garden, the afternoon is designed to feel easy and considered, with a menu built on dishes that have long defined the restaurant and the kind of atmosphere that encourages guests to settle in and stay.
From 12PM, the dining room opens into a softer, more relaxed rhythm, inviting guests to take their time and enjoy the experience at their own pace. The full à la carte menu will be available throughout the afternoon, alongside a curated chef’s selection created for sharing. For those who prefer to sit back and let the meal unfold naturally, the selection offers a seamless way to enjoy a broad cross-section of the kitchen’s offering, moving from antipasti through to dessert.
The chef’s selection brings together some of Da Maria’s most familiar dishes, including kingfish crudo, bucatini, lamb skewers and classic sides, each designed to be placed at the centre of the table and shared. It reflects the restaurant’s approach to dining — generous, unfussy, and built around the idea that food is best enjoyed together.
For the occasion, a series of Mother’s Day specials will also be available, adding a seasonal layer to the menu without shifting its identity. The pan-fried grouper is served with kohlrabi purée, pickled mustard seeds and mugnaia sauce, offering a balance of richness and freshness. To finish, cannoli filled with basil whipped ricotta and candied tangerine provide a lighter, more fragrant end to the meal, bringing a subtle twist to a classic Italian dessert.
From the bar, a selection of drinks has been prepared to complement the afternoon. The Rosso Mimosa, made with Lazarus Pulp pét-nat, orange and pomegranate ice, offers something bright and celebratory, alongside a broader list of wines and cocktails. On arrival, all mothers dining will be welcomed with a complimentary glass of prosecco, setting the tone from the moment guests take their seats.
Adding to the occasion, Da Maria partners with Bali-based floristry studio Jungle in Here, known for their use of native and locally sourced flowers. Throughout the afternoon, guests will have the opportunity to create their own bouquet or take home a pre-made arrangement — a thoughtful detail that extends the experience beyond the table.
The setting itself plays a quiet but important role. Da Maria’s signature interiors, blending Italian heritage with tropical modernism, offer a space that feels both vibrant and relaxed. There is an ease to the room, one that lends itself naturally to long lunches and meaningful occasions, where the focus remains on the people gathered around the table.
Mother’s Day at Da Maria is approached in the way the restaurant knows best — with warmth, generosity, and a sense of familiarity. It is not about overcomplication, but about creating a space where families can come together, share a meal, and celebrate the day in a way that feels genuine and considered.
For those looking to mark the occasion in Seminyak, Da Maria offers a setting that feels both special and effortless. A place to gather, to share, and to spend the afternoon enjoying good food, good company, and the simple pleasure of being together.
