MIMI Features Bright And Buttery French Cooking In The Perfect Bistro

[tw-divider]The Scoop[/tw-divider]

  • MIMI in Greenwich Village is a modern, unstuffy French restaurant where the food (with a menu that can change daily) is worldly and interesting. In addition to elevated French bistro food, you’ll find influences from Japanese cooking in dishes like the bonito with shishito peppers and the ankimo (monkfish liver) with radish and fava beans
  • The handwritten menu is heavy on fresh seafood (sea urchin gnocchi, softshell crab, sea trout, line-caught cod), which makes the meat selection a little more interesting: veal tartare, slow-cooked lamb, and blood sausage
  • MIMI is a relatively small restaurant, so make sure you reserve a table. Reservations can be made directly on MIMI’s website

The salad with bibb lettuce sounds a little plain, but MIMI’s champagne vinaigrette makes this dish totally addictive
