I have been to many 1-3 star Michelin restaurants all over the world, Noma being the last. I could say that I was impressed by the food in this 1-star restaurant - I had the asparagus salad, sea bass with curry and the white chocolate mousse. Of course, the alcohol cost much more than I'd like due to very obvious reasons, but overall my dining experience was great but not spectacular. I think Mimolett has amazing potential, the tools, location and access to ingredients that can really make a name in the haute cuisine world. All the best!

Just eaten at Mimolette restaurant that insome websites seems to have claim to a Michelin star did it drop out of the sky? as it was not earned by cuisine or service. the food was at best ordinary we had the tasting menu consisting of cauliflower soup as the amuse bouche rubbery squid. Confit of
duck that was ok but it was surrounded by an inedible risotto that was a mix of raw rice aubergine and something smoky resembling the smell of rubber tyres. the foie gras was delicious though I had serious doubts as to the reasons for the chocolate yes a whole chocolate! The chocolate ginger and the fig jam that accompanied the well cooked delicious foie!!. A main of overcooked fillet mingnon cooked at least one stage further than we ordered it was tender but fairly tasteless and to accompany this cold mashed potatoes stewed button mushrooms and a bit of red cabbage with golden raisins!!! Dessert was a tea flavoured brûlée that was ok served with a nice chocolate.
At no time during the meal were we asked if "everything was ok" as is usual in most restaurants. the wine was overpriced.
There was only one waiter for 4 tables downstairs and there seemed to be a lot of attention lavished on a private dining room upstairs .
chef came out to speak to some diners but never came near us
This restaurant is posing as a Michelin star standard but having eaten in many such establishments I can assure everyone that this is most certainly not worthy of a star.

Murat Bozok...İ start my review by giving the name of the Chief Nd owner of the place. Because " he" makes the whole difference. He is more then a Chief, in fact an artist. He creates miracles in the kitchen that you will have the priviledge of
tasting. Do get recommendations on the menu and if you are lucky you could have Murat explain to you the various dishes that he creates in his style.
Highly recommended for a dining feast.
Be ready to pay a very high bill though !

The chef Murat Bozok boasts to have been trained in Michelin starred restaurants. I seriously doubt it. Here is the report:
* Decoration: wobbly table, stained cutlery, tables too small and too close to each other, stream of wind very annoying.
* Food: An extremely poor menu (only 2 starters, 4 main courses, and 2 desserts). Bread: only 1 kind: a kind of focaccia, not the brightest we have eaten.
Amuse-bouche supposed to prove the "creative" skills of the chef was a celery soup served in an expresso cup. Could not imagine of a duller and worse presentation for an amuse-bouche.
Starter: a risotto of wild rice and spinach. Again extremely dull and average dish you can find in any Italian restaurant in town.
Main course: plain seabass accopanied by half cooked and cold carrot and fried potato. The fish was well done though. And a lukewarm entrecote with some vegetables, I could not recollect for my wife.
Dessert: 1 of the 2 desserts was not available. We got the chocolate: 2 tweaks of chocolate ganache and 1 tweak of fruity cream. That's it.
Service: extremely slow, although the restaurant was half empty (not surprisingly). We asked for room temperature water but we were served icy water once the 1st bottle was over. Our glass (of wine and water) were not refilled, we had to ask the waiter.
Overall, we paid more than USD100 per person, I think this was top 5 worst dinner I have ever eaten.
