Pedro Pascal has just dropped a foodie bombshell while Down Under, and fans are already scrambling to make dinner reservations.

The popular Last of Us and Narcos star, who has been in Australia promoting Marvel’s upcoming Fantastic Four reboot, was stopped for a red carpet interview where he casually revealed the one Aussie meal that stole his heart.

Interestingly it wasn’t a classic parmigiana, but the oysters at Sydney‘s iconic Mimi’s restaurant in Coogee, NSW.

In a now-viral TikTok, that now has amassed over 2.9million views, Pedro didn’t hesitate when asked about his most memorable meal in Australia.

‘My favourite meal are the oysters that I had at Mimi’s yesterday,’ he said.

‘You can never eat too many oysters,’ he added in the clip.

Pedro, 50, was in the country for the press tour of Fantastic Four, where he plays Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic.

And while the global press have their eyes on his red carpet appearances, Aussie foodies are now more laser-focused on Mimi’s, the chic coastal restaurant tucked inside Coogee Pavilion in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.

Mimi’s, part of the Merivale hospitality empire, has long been a go-to for Sydney’s A-listers.

Known for its refined seafood dishes, breathtaking ocean views, and opulent fit-out (think white linen tablecloths, marble details, and a champagne trolley), the restaurant has cemented its status as the place to be seen.

And now, Pedro has given it the ultimate celebrity seal of approval.

TikTok creator Tom, who was behind the viral video, even rushed to Mimi’s to try the dish for himself.

‘The oysters are on their way. I think Pedro put in a call. I’m scared,’ he joked from Mimi’s exclusive private dining room.

Before the oysters arrived, he was served an entrée of Blue Fin Toro Confit Tomato on a warm crumpet – another one of Mimi’s signature viral dishes.

‘Look at this – I could get used to this,’ he said, holding up the meticulously plated starter.

‘Let’s help the oyster find a way to its home,’ he quipped before taking a bite. ‘Wow, that could be the best oyster I’ve ever put in my mouth. Mimi’s in Coogee, it can’t be anything less than a 10.’

In addition to oysters, Mimi¿s has built a cult following for dishes like the hand-cut pasta with spanner crab, baked mud crab with caramelised hollandaise, the lobster served tableside, and of course, that viral Blue Fin Toro crumpet (pictured) Pictured: Mimi's Baked mud crab with caramelised hollandaise

‘Great rec! So glad you loved them,’ Merivale group commented on the video review.

‘My favourite meal is Pedro Pascal,’ another fan joked.

Their signature oysters are far from your average seaside snack. Sourced from the finest Australian farms, they’re shucked to order and often served with a delicate mignonette or creative topping.

Presentation is everything, and so is quality. Reviews frequently rave about the freshness, flavour and theatrical flair of the seafood offering.

The restaurant is no stranger to A-listers and has even hosted intimate celebrity events, but with Pedro’s unexpected endorsement, it might be hard going getting a booking.

This isn’t the first time Pedro’s love for food has gone viral. Fans may remember the now-iconic video of him ordering six espresso shots at a New York café.

But it seems Sydney has made a lasting impression on him.

So, if you’ve been wondering where to spot a star and score a world-class meal, Coogee should be on your next hit list
