The story
Just minutes from Paris, Chez Mimi has become a fixture in Colombes. The restaurant describes itself as a historic address, and stepping inside confirms it. The decor strikes a careful balance: a zinc bar, oversized chandeliers, period moldings, and soft lighting create an atmosphere that is neither too formal nor too loud. The result is a space that feels both elegant and reassuring – a place where you’re made to feel expected.
The kitchen focuses on the great classics of French cuisine, prepared with an emphasis on authenticity and generosity. The menu is entirely renewed with the seasons, ensuring that ingredients are at their peak. For weekday lunches, a special formule is designed to offer both indulgence and efficiency. The cooking is accessible without being simplistic – the kind of food that appeals to anyone who appreciates traditional French cooking, done well.
Chez Mimi’s consistency and quality have earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction in 2026, a nod to its reliable execution and welcoming environment. The restaurant manages to be both a neighborhood bistro and a place for fine dining, with private rooms and outdoor seating available. Whether for a leisurely lunch or a special dinner, the setting encourages lingering – just as a good Parisian bistro should.
