Best time to goOn a weekday at noon for the daily menu, or on a summer evening in the garden.

Mimi is in Balatonlelle, on Honvéd utca, in a white villa with columns and a large, well-kept garden. Red chairs in the garden, tables on the veranda. It opens at noon every day all year, so it is a reliable choice in Lelle out of season too.

Bistro cooking, homemade pasta

The menu is international bistro cooking with traditional technique: starters, mains and desserts. Pasta is made in-house, the ravioli is filled by hand and served with crispy bacon and spring onion. The kitchen also bakes sourdough bread. The classics are there too: schnitzel with parsley new potatoes, stuffed chicken roulade with grilled courgette.

On weekdays between 12:00 and 15:00 there is a changing lunch menu in two-course and three-course versions, at the time of research for 2,600 and 3,000 forints.

Wines and the garden

The wine list is built on Konyári wines from Balatonboglár. You can also drop in on the veranda for an aperitif. The big garden is easy with children and dogs, and well-behaved dogs are explicitly welcome.

Good to know

Open every day from 12:00 to 22:00. Bank cards and SZÉP cards are accepted. They also hold holiday menus and a New Year’s Eve dinner; book these in advance.
