Hyde Park Corner Celebrated Mother’s Day 2026 With Luxury Dining and Curated Gifts

A Stylish Mother’s Day Celebration at Hyde Park Corner

Hyde Park Corner marked Mother’s Day on Sunday, 10 May 2026 with two distinct restaurant experiences, a curated luxury gift edit and an atmosphere designed around meaningful celebration.

From Japanese robata dining at KōL Izakhaya to an elegant brunch experience at The Forum Hyde Park, the centre offered a thoughtful approach to honouring mothers through shared experiences rather than material excess.

There was a quiet understanding that the most memorable gifts were rarely objects alone. They were moments around a table, long conversations and occasions that invited people to slow down together.

KōL Izakhaya Presented a Japanese Robata Feast

Taking centre stage for Mother’s Day was KōL Izakhaya, Hyde Park Corner’s Japanese robata grill restaurant, which introduced a family-style dining menu designed to encourage connection and shared celebration.

Built around the traditional Japanese cooking technique of Binchō-tan charcoal grilling, the restaurant’s menu showcased clean, layered flavours achieved through near-smokeless white charcoal produced from kiln-fired hardwood.

The family platter for four, priced at R1,600, included:

• Omakase Sushi
• Wagyu Skewers
• Miso Glazed Salmon
• Beef Short Rib
• Edamame Beans
• Beef Gyoza
• Steamed Japanese Rice
• Matcha and Black Sesame Ice Cream

Larger groups opted for the platter for six at R2,685, which expanded the experience with Black Cod Bites, thinly sliced beef rib and Yuzu Ice Cream.

Every mother dining at KōL Izakhaya also received a complimentary drink and Tea Ceremony experience.

The Forum Hyde Park Hosted Its First Mother’s Day Brunch

For guests seeking a more refined daytime affair, The Forum Hyde Park hosted its first-ever Mother’s Day Brunch on Sunday, 10 May 2026 from 11h00 to 14h00.

Priced at R890 per person, the four-course plated menu drew inspiration from a secret garden and included dishes such as:

• Strawberry and buffalo mozzarella salad
• Orange and honey glazed seared salmon
• Raspberry and rose pavlova

Each guest was welcomed with a glass of The Forum Cap Classique alongside a specially selected gift.

Reservations for The Forum Hyde Park were secured via Dineplan, with direct deposit required to confirm bookings.

A Curated Mother’s Day Gift Edit

Beyond its dining experiences, Hyde Park Corner’s Centre Court introduced a curated Mother’s Day gift edit featuring fashion, beauty, wellness and homeware selections.

The retail offering was designed for intentional shoppers seeking thoughtful luxury gifting without the overwhelm of endless browsing.

Whether visitors planned a long family lunch, an intimate brunch or a carefully wrapped present, Hyde Park Corner positioned itself as a destination for elevated Mother’s Day celebrations in Johannesburg.
