Pedro Pascal<\/a> has just dropped a foodie bombshell while Down Under, and fans are already scrambling to make dinner reservations.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Interestingly it wasn’t a classic parmigiana, but the oysters at Sydney<\/a>‘s iconic Mimi’s restaurant in Coogee, NSW<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

‘My favourite meal are the oysters that I had at Mimi’s yesterday,’ he said.<\/p>\n

‘You can never eat too many oysters,’ he added in the clip<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

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.<\/p>\n

In a now-viral TikTok, that now has amassed over 2.9million views, Pedro (pictured) didn’t hesitate when asked about his most memorable meal in Australia\u00a0<\/p>\n

Interestingly, it wasn’t a classic parmigiana, but the oysters at Sydney’s iconic Mimi’s restaurant in Coogee, NSW. ‘You can never eat too many oysters,’ he said in the clip<\/p>\n

Mimi’s, part of the Merivale hospitality empire, has long been a go-to for Sydney’s A-listers.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

And now, Pedro has given it the ultimate celebrity seal of approval.<\/p>\n

TikTok creator Tom, who was behind the viral video, even rushed to Mimi’s to try the dish for himself.<\/p>\n

‘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.<\/p>\n

Before the oysters arrived, he was served an entr\u00e9e of Blue Fin Toro Confit Tomato on a warm crumpet – another one of Mimi’s signature viral dishes.<\/p>\n

‘Look at this – I could get used to this,’ he said, holding up the meticulously plated starter.<\/p>\n

‘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.’<\/p>\n

In addition to oysters, Mimi\u2019s has built a cult following for dishes like the hand-cut pasta with spanner crab, baked mud crab with caramelised hollandaise (right), the lobster served tableside, and of course, that viral Blue Fin Toro crumpet (left)<\/p>\n

‘Great rec! So glad you loved them,’ Merivale group commented on the video review.<\/p>\n

‘My favourite meal is Pedro Pascal,’ another fan joked.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Presentation is everything, and so is quality. Reviews frequently rave about the freshness, flavour and theatrical flair of the seafood offering.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

This isn’t the first time Pedro’s love for food has gone viral. Fans may remember the now-iconic video<\/a> of him ordering six espresso shots at a New York caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n

But it seems Sydney has made a lasting impression on him.<\/p>\n

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<\/p>\n

As Pedro said himself: ‘You can never eat too many oysters.’<\/p>\n
