Mimolette - where everything is pretty

Your first thought as you walk towards the restaurant is, "How pretty everything is." The lush surrounding, the soft uplights showing off stag ferns nestled on branches of majestic mature trees, the old colonial house sitting pretty in this peaceful surrounds.

A soft amber glow wraps you when you walk through that funky red front door. In the background, soft strains of bosa nova sets the mood and tempo of the place that is gentle on the spirit.


The restaurant opened to mixed reviews earlier in the year. But I have absolutely no complaints. Every course of the meal has a nice little twist that surprises the jaded taste buds. It has to be fusion food at its best - strongly western in its core with a touch of the eastern for its accent.

And as you walk away from the restaurant after a perfectly enjoyable evening, your last thought of the place has to be, "How pretty everything is."

Is that crab cake really called 'bling bling'? What a funny name.

The sirloin looks good. Making me want some now. :P

wg - crab cake is really called bling bling crab cakes. they use some local fruit thing that is really called blingbling. It gives the crab cake little bursts of tartness.

was there once, not to dine (don't think i can afford the price), but to perform at midnight. Was rather eerie driving in at that hour, haha, otherwise the location is rather awesome.
