I recently made the first of what I'm sure will be many, many trips to Maminette. I am a huge fan of this native French wife and husband's restaurant The Authentique, which is located in East Nashville, so I had been closely following the opening of this new French café in Donelson. Given the excellence of The Authentique, I had extremely high expectations for Maminette, and I have to say that even my highest expectations were surpassed with flying colors. I am confident that I will be a regular Maminette, as the entire experience was absolutely exquisite. First, there is ample free parking, which is a rarity in the Nashville area. Second, the overall ambience was stunning and evoked the feeling of being teleported to France for a relaxing vacation. I ordered the praline latte and the first sip actually stopped me in my tracks. I am not exaggerating when I say that it is the best latte I have ever had in my life. I ordered the beurre-sucre crepe for my food. I wasn't sure what to expect, considering the simplicity of the dish, however, as soon as I tasted it, I was absolutely enamored. I had no idea that something so simple could be so extremely delightful. The service at Maminette was also second to none, with the staff being extremely kind, attentive, and helpful. I left the café already feeling excited to come back and I am confident that I will be a regular. Do yourself a favor and go to Maminette - you definitely will leave having found your new favorite spot. read more
