Mother’s Day 3-Course Menu at Mimi’s Cafe

Mother’s Day in America is tomorrow – Sunday, May 14th, and most Moms want to celebrate with their loved ones, but they don’t want to slave in the kitchen all day. Give Moms the day off. If you’re looking for a family-friendly option, MIMI’S CAFE offers French-inspired American comfort food. They not only want to celebrate like they do in France with a 3-Course Menu and Complimentary Raspberry Brown Butter Seasonal bread, but they want to celebrate Moms twice, because after dining on Mother’s Day, guests are invited back for FĆŖte des Meres (Mother’s Day in France, May 28th) for a free entree. They’re also giving Moms a special gift from MIMI’S, a wildflower seed card that is ready for planting. After the flowers bloom, Mom will remember the time she spent with family and friends at MIMI’S. They open at 7 AM and will serve brunch until 1 PM, and their 3-Course Mother’s Day menu starts at 11 AM. Here is a sneak peek of their 3 Course Menu. (They are also accepting reservations).

Mimi’s Cafe New Honey Lavender Pork Chop Has Arrived!

Most recently Mimiā€™s Cafe, the neighborhood French-inspired American comfort food cafe, ran a contest for guests to develop a new entree for their menu and the winner won a trip to France! The winner is an original recipe for Honey Lavender Pork Chop submitted by Michael Watz of Evanston, Illinois! Watz and his wife enjoyed a trip to France, where the Mimiā€™s parent company, Groupe Le Duff, is based. I went in to my local Mimi’s this week for a preview, and it was delicious! (I got my salad without the goat cheese).
