Mum deserves the view, the vino, and the very best of Italian — and Molly’s is serving all three this Mother’s Day. Perched above Jetty Road with beachside breezes and that effortless Glenelg energy, settle in for a Feed Mum feast made for lingering. Start with a generous spread of authentic antipasto, before moving into the real reason you’re here — handmade pasta, fresh seafood, and rich, share-style mains.

Mum will be welcomed with a glass of sparkling Nebbiolo Rosato on arrival, before moving through a menu that flows from fresh Coffin Bay oysters to a delicate, floral-inspired dessert — with plenty to savour in between.
For those wanting to elevate the experience further, a Longview Vineyard wine pairing is available, with guided pours across each course for a more immersive dining moment. But, it’s the finishing touches that linger — a parting gift of house-made madeleines to take home and enjoy later.

Best Mother’s Day Events in Adelaide: Things To Do
Class A Jewellers ‘Linked For Life’
This Mother’s Day, celebrate Mum with something meaningful (and seriously chic) from Class A Jewellers’ ‘Linked For Life’. A permanent bracelet or anklet experience designed to capture connection in its simplest form — seamless, clasp-free, and made to stay with you.
Choose from refined white or yellow gold designs, then have your piece expertly soldered in-store for a perfect, continuous fit. The result? A delicate everyday piece that quietly symbolises an unbreakable bond.

Mother’s Day Classic
Set the alarm, lace up your sneakers, and start Mother’s Day with purpose at the Mother’s Day Classic — a beloved national tradition now in its 28th year, raising vital funds for breast and ovarian cancer research.
Join thousands across the country, including right here at Pinky Flat, Tarntanya / Adelaide, for a morning walk or run in honour, memory, and support of those impacted by cancer. Choose your distance — 4km or 7km — and take part in one of the staggered start waves, including special Embrace & Honour moments with a minute of silence at the start line. Whether you’re running early at sunrise or walking alongside friends and family, it’s a powerful way to come together for something bigger than the day itself.

Mother’s Day Paint and Sip
This Mother’s Day, skip the usual and do something a little more creative (and a lot more fun) at Paintelaide. Join their Mother’s Day Paint & Sip and turn the tables — literally — by painting abstract, Picasso-style portraits of each other. Expect plenty of laughs, a splash of chaos, and a keepsake you’ll actually want to take home.
No art experience needed — a local artist will guide you step-by-step through your masterpiece while you sip, snack, and let the creativity flow. It’s BYO drinks and nibbles, so bring Mum’s favourites and make an afternoon of it. You’ll leave with a finished 40cm x 50cm canvas, a very unique portrait, and a memory worth framing.
