Chez Mimi - Limoges

Excellent service, friendly atmosphere, interesting enterer.. My colleges and I just stop on a drink at afternoon and it was nice time.. quiet place where you can talk with your friends..

We visited this restaurant on our way to Paris from Bordeaux. The little place was cozy, almost felt like home. The service was awesome; the owners put their best effort to make us feel good. The food was good, although not exceptional. But after a month out of home the presentation of the food and overall feeling of this place was certainly very welcomed. We recommend it!

This is a small restaurant in a residential area of Limoges. It is easy to park nearby. We booked in advance and were seated in what we were told was the coolest part of the restaurant (it was ~32 degrees) but my husband's back was burning from the unshaded setting sun. The service was excellent, and although little English was spoken, they made every effort and so did we, and the waitresses were absolutely charming. We both had snails in a green peppercorn sauce in a puff pastry, which was tasty and plentiful. For mains, I had duck with cherries, which was very large and delicious. It was served with a choice of potatoes/starches, I chose dauphinoise, which were nice. My husband chose a steak in foie gras sauce with frites. He thought it was OK but wished he'd ordered the duck. They let us taste a couple of wines before deciding. Overall, we liked it, but would perhaps try somewhere else next time.

We came here for lunch. The menu de Jour was inexpensive and well cooked (the chocolate cake was particularly good) and the front of house staff were delightful. It was a Wednesday lunchtime in March and it was full, so book if you want to be sure of a table. A little off the beaten track, but only a five minute walk from the parking at Place Winston Churchill, and worth the effort.

This is one of our favorite restaurants. When we have visitors from the States its our go to restaurant. It is not only the great French food but the warm experience provided every time we visit. We have been taking friends, family and people visiting for work for the past two years. I am happy to say after dining at Mimi's many times. The food and service has alway been wonderful. I like the escargot starter my husband always orders the salmon with poached egg stater. The duck is a great main dish. Everything is tasty. Be sure to make a reservation.
