What Name Schumm doesn't like about Mimo Restaurant & Lounge:
My husband and I went for dinner. It took over 20 mins to get a aperitif (red dubonet) and a beer. They didn't know what the dubonet was although it is just poured into a glass...we left before we could order food. I wanted to try the food! My husband's beer didn't even come until they eventually figured out that they had to ask me about the other drink. It seemed that they were busy serving another room in the back...

Service was friendly. Didn't mind the longer wait for food as it is all fresh cooked, it is well wo... View all feedback.

Had a great launch at Mimo with a friend. The food was very flavorful and at a reasonable price. Great value and you definitely wont go hungry.

Mimo is a charming Portuguese restaurant that offers a unique dining experience. Situated in an unassuming location, this family-run establishment has a cozy atmosphere with a rustic Portuguese-themed decor. While some diners have mentioned slow service and minor issues with food quality on certain nights, the overall consensus seems to be positive. The standout dishes include the flavorful Paella, the delicious grilled squid, and the mouthwatering seafood platter. Prices are on the higher side, but the generous portions and fresh ingredients make it worthwhile. With a warm ambiance and friendly service, Mimo is a hidden gem that is definitely worth a visit for those looking to enjoy traditional Portuguese cuisine in Calgary.

Because we had paella in Spain, wanted to try some in Calgary. While it was good, it certainly was not up to what we had in Spain. That being said, it was good,...
