Brasserie
The Spirit of the Brasserie
Nearly 300 years ago, brasseries were simple beer halls. Over time, they transformed into lively, all-day institutions—places where approachable, comforting food was always waiting and where neighbors gathered to eat, drink, talk, and linger.
At Mimi, we honor that tradition with a 1920s twist: European warmth layered with continental elegance and coastal Sarasota ease.
Here, you’re invited to slow down. To settle into the golden glow of the dining room. To enjoy plates meant for sharing, wines with character, and a pace that feels refreshingly unhurried.
Named after Mila’s nickname and inspired by the owners’ former restaurant, Mimi la nuit in Montreal, our brasserie blends continental charm with 1920s allure and a whisper of coastal Florida warmth.
We believe in a simple philosophy
Hospitality that feels personal, not scripted; food that comforts rather than complicates; wines with true character; cocktails rooted in tradition; and a pace that invites you to stay awhile.
Check out our happy hour
Ease into the evening with our Brasserie Happy Hour—an exclusive menu of curated bites, wines, and cocktails crafted for the early hours. Available only in the Brasserie, this offering is separate from the Speakeasy experience.
