Mimi's Pub - Edmonton, Alberta

My wife and I stopped for dinner at this family-owned pub on a Sunday night. Decor is clean and modern, with huge windows and a gorgeous wood-fired pizza oven like you might see in Italy. The menu is small, but there are some great options. We'd heard good things about the pizza, so tried that, as well as the lamb burger with fries. Both were delicious. I'd say the lamb burger was a bit smaller than a standard pub beef burger, but I didn't mind at all, as the flavours of the lamb and garlicky sauce were amazing, and the fries were actually exceptional. Don't sub in a salad — try these fries! They were stiff and crispy with a soft inside, and a perfect oil to potato ratio. We had a couple of craft beers as well, which were good, as expected.
While I don't think restaurants should have huge menus, I would have liked a few more options, like a caesar salad and maybe a chicken burger. Prices were fair — maybe $1-2 more than a Boston Pizza, and cheaper than a Famoso. Pizza is a good value, as it's big, and one person would probably have leftovers. We'll be back! Support your local family restaurant ☺️!

A nice, clean pub with great staff. I particularly enjoyed that the music was at a volume where one could hold a conversation without raising voices.

I had the kids pizza and that was enough for me!

I will definitely make another stop and try more of the menu.

A really nice modern pub that we had never heard about. Tucked away over on 40th Ave by No Frills. The food was fantastic, the lamb burger is to die for! Atmosphere was lovely. Extremely friendly staff. Definitely a must go again eatery 👍🏻

Excellent! I had the soup of the day, and I was impressed. It was a potato spice soup. I would definitely have it again.

My friend had the classic burger and it was one of the best burgers in a while. It was worth the money.

Good selection of drinks, great service and phenomenal ambience. I love the location of all things. Now that red robins is gone, this will be a local hang out that's walking distance from home.

So I ordered food for pickup for the first time from Mimi’s Pub. Man was it bad. Like worse than anything I’ve had before and I’ve been on this planet for a very long time now.

The so-called Ginger Chicken was a pre-frozen boiled piece of chicken with fake bbq lines on it.
Absolutely tasteless and completely boring looking.

No ginger sauce on the side. It was triple salty soya sauce in a little plastic side container. The “root vegetables” they say come with it would be “French fries” that’s a new one for me to swallow since I was looking to swallow actual healthy vegetables not deep fried potatoes that everyone else in the world calls FRENCH FRIES.
No vegetables came with it. Unless you consider cold cabbage in a 1 once plastic container to be vegatables.

The so-called Chinese fried rice was dry and tasteless as well.

I also ordered a side of fries (cuz I wanted fries but I was not advised that the “root vegatables” in the Ginger Chicken were fries so that was $10 I’ll never get back - and for some reason a side of fries is called fries not root vegetables. Funny that). And ya. Even the fries came not as described. They came with fake powdered cheese stuck to all of it. Nothing was stated that they put chemical cheese powder on their fries. What if I was allergic to dairy Oh wait. It probably wasn’t real so maybe that makes it okay. So bizzare.

So nothing was as advertised. NOTHING.

I’m sad cuz I wanted to make this my local.
I called them thinking they’d listen and be open to constructive criticism but I was told by the guy I was “being argumentative” where I swear I was being curtious and respectful but I had to speak loud cuz I had to speak over his background noise and I told him I was doing that.

I guess maybe ONLY ORDER their frozen reheated bar food with a drink and you’ll be fine. Don’t go in expecting a nice tasting proper meal however. That ain’t going to happen. And don’t call in to let them know if your unhappy cuz they didn’t want to hear anything I had to say about the horrible food I was given.

All I can say is this place is awesome. The food is so utterly authentic and the pizza top notch…I honestly felt like I was back in Italy the pizza is so tasty.
The atmosphere is, however, what sets it apart. They treat you like family there…it’s more than a restaurant or pub…it feels like a community. Love this place…!! You won’t be disappointed a true gem of a place.

The daily specials are pretty worth it! Room to improve but it's a great spot within the community for eating and chatting. Wing nights here are inexpensive and tasty and they've got some good fries too! Pizza is decent - crust tastes great too! Definitely will come here for visits more often. Free parking available in the area and they've also got large TV screens broadcasting sporting events that are occurring.
