Is this phrase idiomatic?
"Let's start where we stopped"
If it isn't then what is the right phrase?
Answer
I can't really imagine many people using OP's example. The most common thing would probably be...
Let's pick up where we left off
That's definition 7 in macmillandictionary
to pick up - to start something again, from the point where you stopped (italics mine)
Example: He seems to think that we can get back together and just pick up where we left off.
...plus this definition from Cambridge Dictionary...
to leave off (sth/doing sth) - to stop, or to stop doing something
Example: This novel begins where the other one leaves off.
