Mimi's
keeps the great beef coming
By Uvia Chang, translated by Heidi Yong
Mimi' s Steak House has built a sound reputation
and a large following of fans for itself since opening in 1988.
The restaurant prides itself in using only the finest quality beef--a
claim supported by customers who keep coming back for the excellent
steaks.
| Mimi's
is located on the B1-level of the Shin Kong Building, next to
the big fire station on TaiJungGang Road. The restaurant features
classical music, European decor and well-dressed service staff.
Reservations are recommended--as the place is always packed
with business executives and office crowd during the week--and
an absolute must on weekends and holidays. Hard to miss is the
large painting of a lovely lady displayed behind the main reception
area. This is none other than Mimi, founder of Mimi' s Steak
House, who brought her rich management experience in the food
& beverage industry and also runs another Chinese restaurant
under the same group. |

The
restaurant specializes in imported beef sirloin and filet air-shipped
from the USA and New Zealand. The frozen meat is displayed in glass
showcases for all to see; the management' s intention is to let
customers know the freshness of the meat used their mouth-watering
steaks. Lunch starts at NT$360 and there are a variety of entrees
to choose from--New Zealand Beef Filet (six ounces), Chicken Chop,
Pork Chop or Salmon Steak. Diners may pick any one of the four.
If a six-ouncer does not satisfy you, ask for their bigger cut and
pay a little more.

The
eatery offers a very special fried chili bean sauce, which
goes well with the sweet, juicy steaks. One can also order
the aromatic garlic house bread that is an excellent accompaniment
to the meal. All entrees come with a buffet, consisting of
salad and stir-fried vegetables, creamy soups, smoked salmon,
seasonal oysters, fruit, juices and coffee.
A
special family promotion starting before the end of December
offers a combo of salmon and New Zealand filet for only NT$680.
Clearly, if you enjoy good steaks but can' t bear the thought
of breaking the bank, Mimi's is the right place.
