Mimi’s inspiration for the new seasonal menu series is derived from the place it all began -- France -- with its legendary bistros, open air markets and pastry shops. “Paris is world-renowned for great food and wine, which is why we are so excited to introduce our newest seasonal menu, Tour de Paris,” said Mark Mears, Mimi’s President and Chief Concept Officer. “Our focus is on providing value by transporting our guests from their everyday to a cozy neighborhood bistro where exceptional food and wine are celebrated and memorable Mimi’s moments are shared.”
Following the success of its Tour de Provence seasonal menus, Mimi’s is now exploring the food and flavors of famous Parisian cuisine, offering delicious entrees in attractive, value-priced meals. The Tour de Paris Seasonal Breakfast Entrees range from $5.99 to $9.99, the Two-Course Seasonal Lunch Menu is $10.99, and the Three-Course Seasonal Dinner Menu is $13.99.
Mimi’s delectable offerings include: Quatre Fromages Quiche, Chicken Madeira Crepes, Parisian Shrimp Salad, Artichoke and Brie Fondue Dip, “Soul” Florentine and Butternut Squash Ravioli & Garlic Shrimp. And just in time for fall, guests can also enjoy decadent seasonal treats such as Bananas Foster Crepes, Pumpkin Spiced Cheesecake and Mimi’s much-loved Pumpkin Spiced Muffin, new Pumpkin Spiced Muffin Sundae and the popular Pumpkin Spiced Pancakes.
The French are known for their love of wine, and Mimi’s offers guests suggested wine pairings with each entree on the Tour de Paris lunch and dinner menus, including two new French wines. Additionally, seasonal specialty drinks such as the Pumpkin Spiced Martini, Pumpkin Pie Coffee and Spiced Rum Cider are available in select locations to “spice” up any meal.
