Week 2: Oh, The Places You’ll Go! [In Austin, TX]

White Christmas lights were hanging around the ceiling. You could hear some Italian folk-music playing in the background, drowned out by the lively chatter of adults to small children. Austin has so many great places to see, but my favorite, by far, is Mimi’s Cafe.

To start off with, the food is especially delectable. The salads are crunchy with bittersweet olives, the sodas melt into your mouth with a burning taste in your throat, even the ice-cream sundaes have a rich chocolate-y flavor and is always topped off with extra whipped cream. For the kids, the spicy spaghetti and juicy, tender burgers are a crowd-pleaser. Ugh, my mouth is watering just thinking about it!

To top it off, the Italian decor is beautiful. As I mentioned earlier, there are festive Christmas lights hanging around the ceiling, and Italian music playing. But, there are also homely photographs of nice customers, and my favorite, elegant chandeliers hanging all over the ceiling. The whole place looks sort-of like a queen’s ballroom and a homely resteraunt combined, a very pretty Italian vibe.

So, if you are ever in need for new foods to try out, or have to take your child to celebrate an award, Mimi’s Cafe is always a crowd-pleaser.
