We had the poached salmon with dill sauce, very subtle and smooth. The crème brulé was heavenly and only surpassed by the house wine. The space was a little tight but the British hostess was so friendly that we didn't mind. A lovely evening!
Only its the best place in Santa Monica wow beautiful
A little pricey but worth every penny!! The French staff is fantastic.
Wonderfull!!!
I love le petit cafe
The best chefs
The best food ever
The best every thing!!!
I love the homey cozy atmosphere and the food is delicious. Been there 3 times for dinner and once for lunch.
Escargot, quiche and French onion soup. Delish! Cute and quaint. Parking might be tough, so go early for lunch. Preorder your soup because it takes long.

Is a good place super relax u can drink a good coffee !!
I love the Bourget family and the food here is exceptional. This is where I had my rehearsal dinner on 1/2/15 and everyone raved about the food and had such a great time. You MUST try the Sand Dabs!!
Bon Appetito! Authentic...
Delicious. The best calf liver I’ve ever had! Endive salad perfect. Strawberry shortcake phenomenal. Apple tart too. Quiet and calm atmosphere. Delightful ambience. Highly recommend.
Lovely restaurant, particularly the outdoor patio. Outstanding French food!
Wonderful little french restaurant with delicious food, great service, cozy ambience and a lovely owner and staff. Been here for Brunch and Dinner and it was always a highlight during my trips to Los Angeles.
The food is amazing. I recommend you try the pork chop. I met the owner and she is really cool and interesting. The venue is charming. We have eaten here several times. It is one of our favorite restaurants. The waiters have always been right on with their recommendations.
The interior is charming. The cuisine is hearty and comforting. I would describe the Thursday dinner clientele as "mature francophone". Dinner entrees are in the $30 to $50 range.
The review by K Young is ridiculous. Lighten up, dude… I trust this guy’s opinion on food about as much as I trust my mechanic. Anyway, having lived in Paris for 3 years, I am always searching for excellent french food and Le Petit Chez Mimi is my favorite French spot in LA. It’s a great mix of upscale and bistro-style. Steak au poivre, escargots, patè, and the chomeur are all delicious and make a perfect meal. The setting is relaxed and enjoyable. Keep it up!
We have been to dinner multiple times and every time we visit Mimi's we have a beautiful elegant time. Wonderful food and service. We love it ..... !!!
I think the best way to describe Le Petit Cafe is as A Small Cafe. I don't know what more needs to be said. Very good food. Only critique is that while the cafe may be petit, the prices are quite grands (Les Grands Prix?).
Thoughtfully prepared bistro fare with very attentive staff and accessible parking at night and on Sunday for brunch. Charming setting with outside patio and homey indoor rooms.
Beautiful and quaint. The service was perfection as well as the food and wine. They have a wonderful vegan option for those on a plant based diet. Highly recommend.
Consistently excellent food and service; a lovely bistro feeling that is warm, casual and familial.
Loved this delightful restaurant. Sand dabs, escargot and onion soup were delicious. Service was excellent!
Magnifique!!
I am a true Francophile, if you are too you will appreciate the authentic French cuisine at Le Petit Chez Mimi.
From appetizers to soup main course to dessert our meal couldn’t have been better,
In case you want to know what we ordered here it is::
French onion soup, salmon dill pate, onion tarte, creamy mushroom soup, trout almondine, sand dabs, cappuccino flourless chocolate cake a la mode! And of course crème brûlée 💚💚💚
Thank you for the perfect dining experience !
Will certainly be back again and again!!
Some of the best food I’ve had in L.A. The French onion soup was fantastic. And although I’ve had better escargots and paté before, they were extremely well prepared. But the real stand out was the unassuming corn soufflé side dish. Perfect texture and consistency, it was really special. The best part was not just the food but the amazing service — almost every server greeted me on entry and exit and were extremely welcoming. Overall 10/10.
It’s pricey but well worth it. We had a great meal. I’m not one for escargot, but im glad I tried it! The wait staff was very friendly and fast. The food was fantastic!
I wish more cafes in Paris were this honest. Well executed staples like Steak Frites and savory sauced Roasted Chicken and even better crepes. And easy parking!
Lovely people, lovely French onion soup and very reasonably priced!
I got the French onion soup, Caesar salad and then a lemon tart (weird choices by myself but they were all exactly what I wanted)
Wow! I'm so happy to find a fabulous French Restaurant with 5-star food that's still affordable in Santa Monica/Westside. I will most definitely be back. The escargot was some of the best I've ever had. My only complaint was that there wasn't enough bread to soak up the urber delicious garlic and olive oil that they were sitting in. The Caesar salad was light, yet the dressing was full of flavor and the croutons were so good! I had the mussels in white wine broth with frites. These were very plentiful, fresh and the white wine broth was so delicious, I wanted to finish it off, but was so very full by the end. No room for dessert, but I'm sure they are incredible. Kudos to the chef, owners and attentive work staff!
