Mimi La Nuit

Situated in Old Montréal, Mimi is a «small» restaurant that at first glance has everything to please. But as you sit down, look around and checkout the menu, the feeling starts to change and doutes arise.
The food: it looks and sounds great, but in the end, the plates are super small for the price and you’re continuously left with an appetite for more. But considering the cost, I wasn’t very content with my order. I went with a porc plate that looked great on the menu, but when I saw it in real life, I couldn’t believe how small the portion was. Nothing really bad, but more so, nothing to write home about. Other friends went other plates, and most of us had the same feeling — we expected more…
The space: now this is not a big place, so if you’re looking into a group thing, many other restaurants can do better. Again, i’m sure they’ll find a way to fit you and your group, but i think its a much better restaurant for a small group or couple (let’s say 1 to 4 people).
The atmosphere: now I’ll be hard here — turn down that music! At some point I thought we were in a discothèque with a bunch of remix found on Spotify. I’m more than happy to have music in the background, but they just try to hard to make it hip and cool — bottom line it just doesn’t work. Everyone in our group had the same comment, and other customers also.
The service: long long long. It took more than 10 minutes to get simple drinks. As we were a group of around 10 people, plates were served in no particular order and all of us got what we ordered at a different time. Now we expected some delays because of the group, but most plates at a different time just doesn’t do it for me.
All and all: I admit I’m forcing myself to put up 3 stars in the review and that’s because they really seemed to try and make it good and nice… The ambiance is beautiful, very clean and hip but it’s just missing that little something — a certain je né sais quoi…
Recommandation: put the music down, tell people the plates a wickedly small, have less fusion cooking in the kitchen, adjust the prices for at least half the plates and I think the place will get somewhere. The Montréal scene is very competitive, and many other restaurants in or around do a much better job.

Loved the oysters that came with additional saucing of your choice,
Great selection of wines, and hand crafted cocktails.
Great Moscow mule but I wish it would have been served in the traditional copper mug,

Great spot in old town. Hip place for dinner and drinks! They play awesome music and the crowd is solid. Very friendly staff to say the least. The space is tight and the music is loud… so old cranky up-​tight people should go some place else. Lots of good looking girls… Cougars and younger ladies. The customers and staff are well dressed. There is a back bar as well as two bars up front. I’d suggest making a reservation if you are planning on dinning. Again, this place is super hip and the staff are awesome! They have a wonderful wine menu too!
