About mimi's

Perched above Coogee Beach, Mimi’s turns milestone celebrations into sunlit, linen-draped coastal theatre. The move here is starting early on the raw bar and luxury bites. Regulars zero in on the bluefin toro resting over confit tomato on a warm crumpet, alongside the rich caviar pie layered with scallop mousseline. The dining room runs on lively tableside motion—martinis poured from a dedicated trolley, burrata plated with peaches at your elbow, and spoonfuls of caviar chased with frozen vodka. The salt-baked mud crab arrives alongside warm, buttery brioche and fennel mayo, giving splurging diners a messier, hands-on centerpiece before the room winds down around custom dessert stations churning fresh ice cream to order.

  • Tableside Service: Staff run dedicated carts through the dining room for martini pours, caviar bumps with chilled vodka, and burrata assembled tableside.
  • Luxury Seafood Courses: Raw bar bites and signature starters take center stage, featuring bluefin toro on warm crumpets, rich caviar pie, and salt-baked mud crab with brioche.
  • Beachside Milestones: Set directly on Beach Street overlooking Coogee Beach, pairing sunlit ocean views with unpretentious hospitality suited for big milestones.

Why Guests Choose Mimi's

How mimi's pairs coastal Mediterranean luxury with memorable tableside theatrics

  • Warm Hospitality Tailored for Personal Celebrations

    Guests celebrate milestone birthdays and engagements with tailored pacing, complimentary toasts, and attentive team hosting.

    They knew we were celebrating and gave us the time to truly enjoy the moment, never rushing us to order. In fact, it was the opposite — they offered us champagne while we waited, which was a lovely touch.

  • An Experience Designed Around Milestone Occasions

    Dinners and lunches feel like memorable milestones rather than standard restaurant meals, making high-end splurges feel thoroughly earned.

    From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, everything felt like an experience rather than just a dinner. The food was exceptional, the atmosphere was stunning, and every member of staff was attentive, warm, and welcoming throughout the evening. It was worth every cent.

  • Decadent Salt-Baked Live Crab and Coastal Seafood

    Signature coastal preparations showcase tender live mud crab, buttery brioche, and premium seasonal seafood selections.

    If you are a seafood lover, you MUST order the salt baked live mud crab. It was the crown jewel of our dining experience at Mimi’s - the meat was beautifully cooked and was sweet and oh so tender.

  • Artful Caviar Pie and Melt-in-Your-Mouth Toro Bites

    Delicate luxury courses feature rich scallop mousseline and melt-in-your-mouth bluefin toro served over warm, crisp crumpets.

    The caviar made the pie very rich and I am a huge fan of scallops so the scallop mousseline was amazing.

  • Tableside Burrata and Cocktail Cart Theatrics

    Interactive dining theatrics feature cocktail trollies and custom burrata prepared and plated tableside directly in the dining room.

    One of the most impressive moments was the burrata service, which was assembled from a cart, with peaches prepared and plated at the table — a thoughtful touch that turned the course into a small performance rather than just another dish.

  • Open Dessert Preparation and Fresh Ice Cream Stations

    Guests can visit an interactive dessert table where sweet finishes and fresh ice creams are made live on display.

    We were even treated to a cellar room tour and invited to the dessert table, where we watched two different kinds of ice cream being freshly made right in front of us.

Signature seafood dishes that define the Mimi’s experience

  • Blue Fin Toro on Warm Crumpet

    Bluefin toro, confit tomato, on warm crumpet - this was probably my favourite bite of the night. The super super tender toro literally melts in your mouth, fatty and lightly seasoned.

    Jim

  • Caviar Pie

    Caviar pie - one of their famous dishes. The caviar made the pie very rich and I am a huge fan of scallops so the scallop mousseline was amazing.

    Jim

  • Freshly Shucked Rock Oysters

    The set menu began with Our bread, sour cream butter and progressed through dishes such as Freshly shucked rock oysters with white Kampot pepper mignonette

  • Martinis

    As gin martini lovers, we started and ended our meal with their amazing martinis.

  • Truffle Macaroni and Cheese

    The truffle macaroni and cheese was probably the best mac and cheese in my life. The rich umami flavours of the truffle (which they give plenty of) is piled on-top of the cheesy goodness - 100/10!!👍 This was unbelievably good.

  • Seasonal Soufflé

    We did round off our meal with their seasonal soufflé, this time it was their hazelnut praline, paired with a pear and amaretto sorbet. Bear in mind, it does require a 25 minute wait since it’s cooked fresh to order. However it was very much worth it 🩷

Before you head over

Essential planning advice on order timing, venue navigation, and arrival logistics for your visit.

  • Order soufflés early

    Allow a 25-minute wait time if you intend to end your meal with the seasonal soufflé, as it is prepared fresh to order.

  • Locating the entrance

    The entrance is located inside the Coogee Pavilion complex and features multiple access points, so build in a few extra minutes to navigate the building.

  • Plan arrival transport

    Coogee street parking can be difficult on busy weekends; booking a rideshare or arranged drop-off service ensures a smooth arrival.
