Mother's Day Brunch Buffet Menu for 2023 at Rosen Center Orlando

Mother's Day is Sunday, May 14th, 2023 and the Rosen Center is serving up a pretty great sounding brunch at Café Gauguin from 11am-4:30pm.

As usual, there's a couple different prices, depending on when you book and pay for the experience (and it's a little confusing, to me anyway).

If you make a reservation and pre-pay, it's $58.95 (plus tax, plus service fee) per adult, and children 4-12 are $24.95 (plus tax, plus service fee), while children 3 and under are free. They don't really publish how much the "service fee" is. At other Rosen Center locations, it's an additional 25% of each per-person price (yikes).

If however, you make a reservation and choose to pay in-person, on Mother's Day (or don't make a reservation, and just try to walk-up to the restaurant) the adult price rises to $65.95 per person (plus tax, plus service fee) … while the children's prices remain the same.

Champagne and Mimosas are bottomless (aka "complimentary" as the Rosen Center puts it), which is very cool — there's nothing quite as fun as a brunch with bottomless mimosas!

Self-parking is free and Valet Parking is discounted to $15. Reservations are highly recommended, and if there's six or more people in your party… reservations are actually required. A credit card is required to hold reservations for all party sizes.

So how do you make a reservation? Call (407) 996-3969 and inquire about the "Mother's Day Buffet" or you can make a reservation online through OpenTable. Here's a link to the official Rosen Mother's Day Brunch Buffet page… about halfway down there's a "Make Reservation" button that should lead to the OpenTable booking page.

Café Gauguin is normally a buffet style restaurant, with plenty of seating and the Mother's Day Brunch event is no exception. Let's take a look at the menu for the 2023 Mother's Day Brunch Buffet…
