Mimmos Wins Leisure Options "Best of Joburg" - Best Italian Restaurant Franchise Group 2009
For the second year in a row, Mimmos has been named as the top Italian restaurant chain in Johannesburg, in the 2009 annual Best of Johannesburg awards.
According to Kym Argo, the competition, which attracted over 138,000 votes, was launched by Leisure Options in 1986, is a barometer of what’s hot and what’s not in the City of Gold.
“Leisure Options provides readers with the ballots. They provide the answers in more than 100 categories – everything from ‘best romantic restaurant’ and ‘best boutique’ to ‘best best TV station ’, ‘best TV personality’ and ‘TV programme’,” Argo says.
Mimmos national marketing manager, Claire Shephard, says that the restaurant chain is delighted with the results.
“At Mimmos, our mixture of Italian passion and South African flair is clearly a combination that works, and winning this award for two years in a row shows us that we’re giving our guests exactly what they want: great Italian food and a fun, inviting atmosphere for the entire family,” she says.
“Mimmos thanks all the people of Johannesburg that voted for us as the best Italian restaurant chain in Jo’burg and we sincerely hope that we will continue to wow you and your families well into the future.”
