At Mimi
8 years ago by
In New York, it’s those little peculiarities that make a restaurant special. When Camilla told us she was planning on opening a restaurant – that she would concept and design – it came as no surprise the outcome would be nothing short of imperfect simplicity…
The imperfect being the white tiles downstairs inlaid with an irregular placement of primary colored squares (a color theme which continues in varying capacities throughout the restaurant), or the beautiful and unexpected hand painted and drawn nude figure “wallpaper” in the bathrooms by artist Alba Hodsoll.
MIMI is both familiar and elegant, the blue velvet bench seating a welcoming invite to accompany food influenced by the South of France and curated list of timeless cocktails. Not to mention the bread and butter situation, which one can easily consume several servings of…
It’s rare a grouping of young individuals (Camilla has three handsome men partnered with her — Evan, Louis and Dan who you see featured in the images), could create an atmosphere that defies the youth-minded developments of recent that feel all too the same.
This is a neighborly place, but one where you will most likely be seen at too…

I thought it’s Louis Lévy the son of Marc Levi who is the man behind the restaurant ?

Awesome place! Would love to have lunch in that place but unfortunately, it is a little far for me!

Have a nice weekend!
Petite and So What?
Je trouve la deco de ce restaurant plutot froide, pas accueillante.
Peut-etre le soir avec les lumieres plutot douces comme la photo 9 le montre.
Par contre, j’aime beaucoup le black/white blurr de la photo 11. Tres beau poster pour un resto !
Really cool pictures! I’d love to visit it!

Any word on the quality of the food? Or is this a place to see and been seen only?
Et on y mange quoi? Le message le plus important passe aux oubliettes
Took your recommendation for this evening and LOVED Mimi. What a lovely place it was, lovely people and a sublime meal. Thanks for the scoop.
Please, do an interview with Marine Vacth, she’s a gem!
Nice place!
