NOTE: Zim's Place has closed for business. Although they were on 6th Street for a relatively short period of time, Les made a lot of friends within our downtown community. They will be missed.

Les takes us on a tour of his warm and cozy artisan cafe that recently opened on Festival Square (6th Street) in beautiful downtown Lethbridge. Zim's Place was inspired by his passion for healthy food, coffee and art. It's a welcome addition to 'our downtown' and has definitely helped to enhance our unique and special 'coffee culture'.

Although Les leaves the art to his wife (Donna Jean) and daughter (Gianne), his talent is displayed in the kitchen, where he cooks up a daily pot of delicious borscht. He constantly plays around with different blends of traditional borscht ingredients which makes each visit to Zim's Place a tasty surprise. Combine a bowl of borscht with a cappuccino and a European-style bagel and you have the perfect 'place' to sit and relax after a long day of shopping or work.

Besides the art of his talented wife and daughter, Zim's Place also features landscapes and figurative art from a variety of local and regional artists and artisan's.

Zim's Place will be participating in the upcoming Allied Arts Council's ARTWALK. Artwalk is a free, self-guided tour of arts venues and entertainment in Lethbridge. It takes place on September 18-19 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Zim's Place is located at 313 - 6th Street South. For more information, call 403 - 942-2277 or email Les at zimfam@telus.net.
