Mimi’s Pub (11403 – 40 Avenue) is an aesthetically pleasing pub/restaurant on Edmonton’s southside. Whenever an independent restaurant opens in an area typically populated with chain restaurants or no restaurants at all, I always get my hopes up that the food will be great and I can mark it down as one of those neighbhourhood gems that make the trek worthwhile.
Mimi’s food needs work. It’s one of those “all over the map” kind of menus: nachos, wings, yakitori, bolognese, kofta, curry chicken pizza. Oy.
For all the details, read my CBC web article at this link.
Pictures below are of the items I tried.
