Mimi’s Café has recently underwent some menu changes, experiencing a sort of French inspired renaissance from their new leadership.
Currently there are two great locations in the Greater Orlando area – one in Altamonte Springs and the other just across the street from the Mall at Millenia.
Mimi’s Café has taken their food and service to a new level to satisfy your French cravings. Recently acquired by Le Duff America, Inc. (a subsidiary of the Rennes, France-based Groupe Le Duff) – the team revamped their menu to awaken all your taste buds.
Mimi’s Cafe Executive Chef Katie Sutton is a graduate of the French Culinary Institute and was previously an Executive Chef at Hess Collection Winery in Napa and takes her food very seriously.
Taking a cue from their new French- inspired leadership, all-butter croissants baked in-house daily, Bouillabaisse, Brioche Croque Madame and Mussels a la Mimi’s are just some of the menu items at the all new Mimi’s Cafe.
Experience authentic French cuisine in your backyard without having to sacrifice your wallet.
