Mimi’s is taking its guests on a vacation to the French Riviera with a seasonal menu featuring coastal flavors and ingredients at each of its 77 locations. Available for a limited time, these special offerings are the perfect addition to the Bistro and Bakery’s existing French-inspired menu.

“Mimi’s newest seasonal menu was inspired by the beautiful flavors and foods of the French Riviera,” said Tiffany McClain, head of marketing for Mimi’s. ”The south of France is well-known for its citrus harvest - particularly lemons, which gave us a fantastic base for our seasonal offerings. From savory seafood dishes and refreshing beverages to a sweet brunch entrëe, guests will be able to explore the coast from their neighborhood Mimi’s.”

In addition to Mimi’s popular all-day brunch, classic lunch, dinner and dessert offerings, the Bistro and Bakery’s new menu features:

● Benedict Provence - grilled garlic-butter baguette topped with poached eggs, roasted grape tomatoes, olives, artichoke hearts, hollandaise and basil pesto sauce - served with roasted potatoes.
● Berry Yogurt Crème Brûlée - caramelized Greek yogurt lightly sweetened with real honey - served with fresh strawberries and blueberries.
● Riviera Lemon Filet - seared cod dressed in a garlic white wine reduction with fresh capers and lemon - served with haricots ve rts (green beans).
● Mediterranean Cod en Papillote - fresh cod filet grilled and steamed en papillote (in parchment), with the flavors of herbes de Provence butter, artichoke hearts, spinach and lemon - served with sautéed summer vegetables.
● Lemon Layer Cake - a slice of sweet Meyer lemon cake layered with zesty custard frosting with whipped cream.

Mimi’s summer menu pairs perfectly with the following seasonal beverages:

● Summer Peach Lemonade - moscato, cranberry juice, white peach and fresh lemon.
● Jack by the Bay - Jack Daniels Whiskey, Korbel Sparkling Rosé and passion fruit.

In July 2019, Mimi's changed its name to Mimi’s Bistro & Bakery. After 41 years in business, the brand is modernizing its restaurants, menus and approach to create an enhanced experience for loyal patrons and welcome a new era of guests to the table at Mimi’s.
