VIBE: Diners at Mimi's Cafe enjoy the French bistro atmosphere in this upscale family eatery, featuring a varied and interesting menu that appeals to parents and kids alike. The New Orleans-themed room transports visitors to the famed French quarter, with wrought-iron patio perches and strains of jazz music. In the French-inspired room, diners eat at cozy tables and booths reminiscent of a quaint Parisian eatery. The restaurant’s patio provides an al fresco dining experience.
WHY IT'S TOT-FRIENDLY: Mimi's boasts an extensive menu and serves up kid-pleasing favorites for breakfast, lunch and dinner, seven days a week. Classic dishes like Chicken Pot Pie, Slow Roasted Turkey Breast or Mimi's Pot Roast comfort the whole family. Soups, salads, signature sandwiches and pasta dishes offer plenty of options for the pickiest eaters. The restaurant’s extensive kid’s menu — The Gazette – is available for guests 12 and under. Priced from $3.99 to $4.59, Mimi's kid-friendly meals include an entrée, side dish, beverage and dessert.
BE SURE TO TRY: Most patrons can’t pass up Mimi's delectable selection of fresh breads and baked goods, which arrives in a basket along with your meal. The mega-sized blueberry muffins are tempting and filling crowd-pleasers. You can also take home a selection of the restaurant’s baked goodies, including honey oat bran muffins, buttermilk spice, carrot raisin nut and coffee cake. Mimi's espresso bar offers up cappuccinos, lattes and hot chocolate, and desserts are special, too: bread pudding drizzled with whiskey sauce, triple chocolate brownie and chocolate chip pecan pie.
GOOD TO KNOW: Meal portions at Mimi's are generous and often large enough for sharing. When paired with the not-to-be-missed muffins, Mimi's Small Bites quiche and salad duo is definitely enough for two weight-watching moms to split.
BEST TIMES TO GO WITH KIDS: The restaurant draws crowds for weekend dinners and Sunday lunches, but don’t forget Mimi's for a hearty breakfast. It’s also the perfect place for an afternoon pick-me-up.
