Fieldwork was\nconducted between 16th March 2026 and 19th March 2026. All data was collected\nin accordance with MRS (Market Research Society) and ESOMAR guidelines,\nensuring ethical standards and robust data quality.\n2. The Top 100 Brunch and Lunch Restaurants in Canada 2026 Methodology:\nOpenTable's Top 100 Restaurants for Brunch and Lunch in Canada for 2026 list\nis generated from over 1 million from verified OpenTable diners and dining\nmetrics from 1st March 2025 - 28th February 2026. Restaurants with a minimum\nthreshold of diner reviews were considered and evaluated by a compilation of\nunique data points, including diner ratings, the percentage of five star\nreviews, the number of alerts set, the percentage of reservations made in\nadvance, percentage of capacity and direct searches. Metrics were weighted to\ncomprise an overall score. The qualified restaurants were then filtered on\nhaving a minimum number of brunch reviews and Sunday lunch availability.

Consumer Research Methodology: An online survey was conducted by Ripple\nResearch among 1500 CA consumers celebrating Mother’s Day, including 637 who\nare being celebrated as mothers/mother figures and will be celebrating other\nmothers/mother figures, and a quota of 200 for major cities. Fieldwork was\nconducted between 16th March 2026 and 19th March 2026. All data was collected\nin accordance with MRS (Market Research Society) and ESOMAR guidelines,\nensuring ethical standards and robust data quality.\n2. The Top 100 Brunch and Lunch Restaurants in Canada 2026 Methodology:\nOpenTable's Top 100 Restaurants for Brunch and Lunch in Canada for 2026 list\nis generated from over 1 million from verified OpenTable diners and dining\nmetrics from 1st March 2025 - 28th February 2026. Restaurants with a minimum\nthreshold of diner reviews were considered and evaluated by a compilation of\nunique data points, including diner ratings, the percentage of five star\nreviews, the number of alerts set, the percentage of reservations made in\nadvance, percentage of capacity and direct searches. Metrics were weighted to\ncomprise an overall score. The qualified restaurants were then filtered on\nhaving a minimum number of brunch reviews and Sunday lunch availability. The\nresulting list appears A-Z, not in ranked order.\n3. OpenTable Data: OpenTable looked at seated diners per party size and hour\nfrom online reservations from all active restaurants on the OpenTable platform\nin Canada on May 11, 2025 and compared it to the corresponding date period in\n2024 (May 12, 2024), as well as analysing dining in 2025.\nFor media inquiries please contact: \nAmanda Panacci \namanda.panacci@mediaprofile.com \n647-500-5752 \n\n(https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/596d31ce-c75c-4f81-a96b-86304eecd731)\n\n\n\nGlobeNewswire, Inc. 2026"},"type":"article","timestamp":"2026-04-21T16:30:00.235335098Z","server_sent_at_ms":1776789000235},"received_at":"2026-04-21T16:30:00.304Z","source_url":"https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/04/21/3278284/0/en/table-for-mom-opentable-launches-mother-s-day-dining-trends-and-canada-s-top-100-brunch-and-lunch-restaurants-for-2026.html"},"analysis":{"id":"2210","press_release_id":"3314","analysis_json":{"industry":{"label":"Consumer Services","sector":"Consumer Discretionary"},"redFlags":[],"eventType":"product_launch","narrative":"OpenTable, part of Booking Holdings, released its annual Top 100 Brunch and Lunch Restaurants list for Canada along with consumer survey data regarding Mother's Day dining trends.\n\nThe data highlights that 37% of Canadians plan to celebrate Mother's Day with a meal out, with larger parties and intergenerational dining seeing growth.\n\nThe list is derived from over 1 million diner reviews and various dining metrics, aiming to assist consumers in finding highly-rated dining destinations.","sentiment":"neutral","agentHooks":{"shouldPost":false,"suggestedAngle":""},"keyFigures":{},"quotedText":"Mother’s Day was the top dining day in Canada last year, proof that eating out is at the heart of how Canadians celebrate","namedEntities":{"people":[{"name":"Laure Bornet","role":"Senior Vice President of International Growth at OpenTable"}],"products":["OpenTable Top 100 Brunch and Lunch Restaurants for 2026"],"companies":[{"name":"OpenTable","relationship":"subsidiary"},{"name":"Booking Holdings, Inc.","ticker":"BKNG","relationship":"parent company"},{"name":"Ripple Research","relationship":"surveyor"},{"name":"GlobeNewswire, Inc.","relationship":"wire service"}],"dollarAmounts":[]},"materialImpact":{"score":1,"reasoning":"Annual 'Top 100' list release and consumer survey data.
