Cafe Miro in Edinburgh, City of

Quick pop in for early evening supper… King’s 🍤 prawns 🦐 in tempura - simply delicious 😋 I recommend this place to all my friends 👌

Miros is a cozy restaurant in front of Portobello beach. Their menu is very varied and has generous portions. What really stood out without a doubt was the attention of their waitress Adele. She has been really very kind, friendly and decisive with us. Your attention has made our stay in Miros a delightful experience!!!

Miro's On The Prom provided a cosy spot for a quick and relaxing break along the seaside. We enjoyed a selection of warm beverages: tea, cappuccino, and hot chocolate. Each drink was well-prepared and satisfying, offering just the right touch of comfort as we enjoyed the beach views. The hot chocolate was rich and creamy, the cappuccino had a smooth and balanced flavour, and the tea was served perfectly. The staff were friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere that added to our experience. Although we only tried the drinks, the ambiance and beachfront setting were inviting, making it a lovely spot to pause and unwind. For a peaceful stop with scenic views and a warm drink, Miro's On The Prom is highly recommended. A five-star experience for a delightful seaside break.

It's raining all around, but it's warm and delicious here!

Typical Scottish atmosphere, friendly service and the best fish

Cosy and relaxed right on the promenade. Simple and tasty food. Quick service.

What a gem of a find. Fab service, fab food and lovely environment. Thank you xxx

Nice cafe in Portobello. Good views of the beach. We just had a hot drink before carrying on with our walk

Very good restaurant by the sea!

We ordered two Seafood udon dishes. One was uneditable, had a weird and strong vinegar taste. The other has mussels that were not right. They did replace one and that tasted okay. The table was only cleared when we left, so were smelling the seafood dishes all the time after we were done.

The Staff here, need to learn some manners! Saying ..."Is this for her ? " instead of " Is this for the Lady ? " is ignorant and arrogant ! Trying to remove plates from the table before food is finished, is also ignorant and impatient! Not stopping other customers to allow their Dogs to actually sit on the table is unhygienic! ( they don't see a problem with this ? or just don't notice ? ) Nasty impatient and arrogant staff. These people are up themselves and need a few lessons on the basics of running a business!

The worst fish in Edinburgh.Only the Chips were good. £31 for a freezer fish Never come back here I am Just Sorry for the guys because service were kind

Very delicious haggis fritters and cullen skink. Lovely place, great service

I had the chilli and king prawns pasta and my husband had the halloumi wrap with chips and salad, both delicious. We had the soup of the day as well, vegetable soup, it wasn’t the best soup, but it was good. I would definitely go back to eat there and the location is lovely. If you get the chance to sit by the window even better, the view is amazing. I would recommend.

I had a terrible experience at this café. The staff was extremely unfriendly, with unpleasant expressions on their faces. We had to wait a long time for someone to come to our table and ended up having to call over a waiter ourselves because he was completely ignoring us. The cake we ordered was very dry. I do not recommend this place at all and will not be coming back."

The food is fairly average, maybe a little below average. There was a hair in the garlic bread. I'd like to add that Miro's has a van parked outside of someone's house in Mountcastle without their approval, for free advertising. Here's a list of places in Portobello that serve better food than Miro's: The Beach House Malvarosa Portobello Beach Bistro Civerino's The Epsy La Grotta Passey's The Esplanade Mamacita's Foresters Nixos Shrimpwreck Otto Butternut Squash

Cozy and warm atmosphere at the beach with the most delicious rose berry ice cream you can ever try. This is my first time in Scotland and I will definitely return back to this place when ever I could 🤍

Found the salad was a bit too vinegary for my palate. One meal was sent back, replacement and apology offered and dealt with. Unfortunately just didn't really enjoy our experience. But staff were great and food looked amazing and it's a really popular venue.

Didn't even eat here in the end. We were seated at a table and then handed menus. We were then asked quite rudely to move to another table. We waited and waited on someone to approach us but they never did. It was a busy day so we gave them the benefit of the doubt and waited a bit longer. We then got someone's attention to try and order she then said she would be back in 2 mins. She proceded to ask another table how their food was then walked away back to the counter area and didn't come back. When she did reappear she had a bowl of water for a dog at another table and ignored us again. After being there for ages and being treated in this rude manner we decided to leave and get food elsewhere. Wouldn't go back as staff are very rude and don't seem to care

Had an absolutely terrible time here this morning. The staff were all incredibly rude and short to us. It took half an hour to receive our coffees and an hour and fifteen minutes to receive our food (the staff kept telling us it was almost ready once we pointed this out to them but I honestly think our food hadn’t even started to be cooked). When the food came it was stone cold and I was missing part of my meal. The food was undercooked, cold, and overpriced. We asked if we could get a discount considering the above and were told that they don’t do discounts. Terrible service, so sad to see such a nice restaurant go downhill.

The location is amazing and it's a shame that food is so awful

We had breakfast here. We had a table next to the sand, which is great on a sunny day. Not so great were the pancakes, which tasted like they been made earlier and the re-warmed. Not light and fluffy - more like dense and stiff. Disappointing overall.

Nice enough place, good location. Went twice in the space of a week - service was a bit... Meh?! Food and drinks were nice. Pricey, but then Portie has gone a bit gentrified over the last decade.

Food’s nice but the service makes me feel disappointed. The waitress knocked down my partner’s milkshake when serving the food, but she didn’t say anything and just walked away chatting with other staff. She just watching us clean the mess ourselves……

Sat outside having a drink and staff weren't very friendly. Not surprised the cafe inside was empty

Terrible breakfast, everything was cold, the bacon was gray fatty and undercooked, black pudding was rock hard, I had two eggs one was snotty and the other was hard,

Don’t join the queue for crepes if you can see them having a few cheques to be done. Crepes were fine, but definitely doesn’t worth the time waiting. The guy who was making the crepes somehow decided to make eight portions in a row, and then started to serve. I spent 10 mins waiting to order my crepe, around 15-20 mins waiting for him to finish the previous order, and another 20 mins to finish these 8 crepes. So with all the time adding up, I waited for 45-50 mins for one crepe, which was absurd.

I was served questionable mussels today and the delusional Turkish owner or manager whichever he was, kept insisting that they were fresh. When I tried to explain that fresh mussels rarely have a strong fishy and pungent smell, he said that they were very busy but that the mussels were fresh then suddenly walked away mid conversation and still charged me for it after i refused to eat more than one. He then made a point of asking another employee in front of me if the mussels were fresh because (pointed at me) that guest says they are not. The fact that he told me they were fresh before he asked the sourcing employee was hilarious! I urge everyone to avoid this place, the safety concerns are only matched by the manager’s obnoxious attitude and refusal to accept advice or constructive criticism.

A family of three at lunch. We ate fish and chips and we all enjoyed it. Friendly and welcoming staff.

Ordered takeaway chicken kebab. They never called my name, so my food sat for a while before I found it was ready at the counter. The kebab was extremely dry, not at all pleasant to eat. The tzaziki was in a thin paper dish that completely disintegrated under the moisture. The chips were okay, and the only redeeming aspect. I wouldn't have been happy with this meal at £5, let alone the £15 they charged. It's location is prime for the beach on a nice day, but just keep in mind that's what you'll be paying a premium for - not the food.

The food was okay, but the waiter was a bit rude

I paid £7.00 for a chocolate milkshake. I was thinking it will come nicely served in a glass with maybe whipped cream and sprinkles, but it looks like something from Costa. After consuming it I now have a very bad stomach ache with loose bowels. And I am on holiday in Edinburgh. Guys, just go to Costa or Starbucks. Maybe this place needs to improve on food hygiene.

Fish was uncooked as well as chips I had to pay for new one so so unfair As well Very poor customer sevice We will never come back I wish to go out in the middle of the meal

I don't recommend fish and chips, raw breading, when I complained they made me pay extra for it....

A lovely place on the promenade. We went on a Sunday and it was very busy but they found us a table right away. After we ordered we did have a bit of a wait before our food came. The kids menu was very good value for money. Our daughter got the fish and chips (which was very substantial), a drink and ice cream all for £7.49. However, the adult sized fish and chips was not much larger but more than twice the price at £17!! The chips were lovely though and giving it 4 stars because the batter was soggy and claggy and not crispy. The best things are their cakes. They have a lovely selection and all look home made and delicious.

Really enjoyed eating on the promenade, really nice place just a tad windy that day, but would happily go back. But you can't control the sea breeze.

The best flat white coffee I've had in Scotland so far. I recommend the fish soup. you can't go barefoot, which is bad. The service was nice. Attention!!! They don't include service in the bill.

Beautiful place on the sea front overlooking the beach. Easy access for everybody with tables inside and directly next to the sea wall outside. Nice menu with quality ingredients cooked to perfection. Would definitely recommend a stop here if you're hungry and in the area.

Just one recommendation: "customer service training."

Great to sit next to beach and look at the real life there

Always a great spot when the sun is out.

The owner was very rude. I went to buy a coffee and then went to use the bathroom I was then yelled at by two employees after one said i could go then when I came out of the bathroom I was interrogated by the owner who rudely ask d if I had bought something and then told go you buy now I felt bad for the rest of the employees who apologized when he did the same thing to my friends later on. he then proceeded to stand guard at the door all evening . Will not be coming back. If you serve food and drink you legally have to let people who come in to use the bathroom

A regular here . But what is happening ? Surly waiter in need of customer care training .On paying told waitress disappointment -response sorry to hear this.No real interest. Where have the good staff gone? Previously staff would have gone extra mile. Now not an inch.

A 5 star gelato experience! We got two with a scoop each for only 5£, Butterscotch and vanilla, both delicious! Great outdoor sitting area too.

Great ocean front Cafe! Good treats too at till, but bit expensive . Had a good breakfast here. Friendly staff. Walk the ocean front and also enjoy an Arcade a minute away.

It was an amazing experience to sit beside the seashore and drink coffee with family :)

Lovely place to sit and have breakfast and a coffee. Dog friendly as a bonus.

Absolutely the most amazing scrambled egg on toast and pot of tea. Sounds simple but it was top quality 5star hotel from the tea to the toast xxx lush

Great place if you like your poached eggs hard boiled and your haggis straight out of the fridge. Sourdough was drier than a nun’s snatch and coffee tasted absolutely rancid.

We tried mussel in white wine sauce, haggis fritters and cullen skink. All of them was hearty and delicious. Staff were friendly. Price/performation ratio is awesome.

Really great food, the menu is best suited if you want one course. It's not a 3 course kind of place. The food is fantastic though, very generous portions and not overly expensive.

Absolutely the weirdest policy ever instated: only kids can have 2 scoops of ice cream on a cone 🤷 i tried to translate as i could not believe this new policy. Then got drsgged in a greek-turkish conflict that is none of my business. I just wanted ice cream. Also being threatend that i would need to take it to her manager. Talking about having a bad day. We just wanted 1 cone with 2 scoops of ice cream. Then also shocked when the lady put the scoop of milk containing icecream in the mango sorbet to mix the 2 flavours. What about the kids with milk intolerance? No right on ice cream for them obviously... and mine was years ago. The weirdest experience ever. But it did take me to the coffee shop on the next corner when my daughter joined and discovered more flavours, friendly staff and no weird 1 scoop company policies.

After being soaked through today, we wanted a warm dinner. Their Cullen Skink was marvelous as well as their calamari. Staff was friendly and helpful. We also picked up desserts to bring home. Highly recommend!

Nice food right on the Portobello promenade. It was still cold when we visited that day so some hot soup and haggis fritters were more suitable than ice cream. lol Good selection of cakes, too, perhaps for another visit.

We both got the fish and chips. The fish was lovely don't get me wrong. The chips on the other hand.. there was about 20 chips per plate, they were not chunky, more fries, and burnt.

Service was quick and responsive but food was bland and overpriced. Fish batter was too doughy and barely cooked. Prawn pasta had 4 bits of prawn which lasted 25 percent of the meal. Ice cream scoops cost 2.50 each each and they're tiny. Like the size of conker. There were not many ice cream choices. Chips were overcooked "fries". 50 quid for a meal for 2. One course each. Go somewhere else. Coop meal deals far nicer and way cheaper

Superb brunch ,great food and friendly staff

Amazing food Amazing ice cream amazing service And a lovely veiw couldn't ask for more

Miro’s on The Prom , should be Miro’s on the Con ! 2 coffees and a piece of tray bake £12.45! The tray bakes on the counter are not priced which should have set alarm bells off but it turned out one piece was £4.95, what a rip off ! The coffees were £3.80 & £3.70 , they were nothing special and the Flatwhite was tiny. A group of bikers turned up and when saw the prices said )£&@ “?!; and left so we were not the only ones who thought it was a bit pricey. The two guys serving were slow and laughing at customers all the time so obviously find everything funny as they line their pockets. There are plenty of other places to get a coffee on the Prom including the Citroen Van so please look around !

Very nice little restaurant. Simple but very good dishes. Really great welcome, the waitresses are smiling and very friendly. Very good value for money .

The staff are really friendly and the soups delicious. My 14 year old dog had a birthday celebratory ice cream accompanied by a wonderful rendition of happy birthday by the staff. Great place

Unwelcoming staff, but a lovely coffee

Worst food in Edinburgh after 11 years living here. Friendly service

Nice wee cafe -popped in for coffee and cake with friends. Lovely.

Cozy little cafe with a nice view of the beach. Service was quick and friendly. Cappucino and cullen skink were lovely. Only feedback I'd give is that the cullen skink could have done with a little more potato and touch of fresh herbs like parsley but overall happy with the service.

Very misleading and dishonest. The prices on the menu are not what you pay for, they don’t include VAT. When you get the bill at the end you get charged extra 20% VAT. VAT should be included on the prices in the menu so customer knows what they’re paying in the first place.

Lovely place, excellent service, great coffee, cakes and breakfast. Highly recommend

Lovely food, friendly service. We've been here a few times. The food is very nice and they have always been very accommodating of my 2 small kids. Last time I was in they helped me find somewhere to put the buggy when it was busy and were very careful to keep anything hot away from the kids. The kids meal is also good. Nice view of the sea too

Great place and food, view, friendly staff recommend

Very, very tasty breakfast, perfect coffe and very kind and polite staff. Highly recommend.

We went in for lunch today it was very busy but we managed to get a seat outside. The girl took our orders so we ordered a starter and a main and kids meal. They brought all the food out together, when we said about the mains being cold as we had to have our starter they said the kitchen was busy and could not keep our mains warm. Anyway that got sorted then it started to rain and instead of moving us with food inside the said to people with drinks so I asked if we could go in and yes there was a table so that was fine. When the mains came my carbonara was bland had no flavour what so ever. We will definitely not be back. We now live in Portobello and it was very disappointing the food was so bland.

Located at a really great spot directly opposite portobello beach, this restaurant is a convenient pick for dinner! I came primarily for fish and chips, and while it was steeply priced at £15, the portion was quite big. That being said, the fish itself was underseasoned. The chips, peas, and tartar sauce that accompanied it were great - except I wish they provided an option to add vinegar and salt to the chips. Overall, this place is more so about convenience over price and taste.

A lovely, cosy place just off the promenade in Portobello with a gorgeous view of the Firth. Stopped for a little treat and a warm drink on a warm Saturday morning, there were lots of spaces available even though the area was quite busy. Vegan cakes were available, as well as a large selection of plant-based m!lks. The Alpro stash was very impressive!! The oat chai latte was lovely and delicate, perfectly accompanied by the rich vegan cake. Would definitely recommend this place for a nice cake and warm drink after a walk on the beach!

Very busy place. But waiting time is acceptable. Food quality and taste is amazing.😍😍😍

Yet another wonderful meal at Miros. We tried the evening menu which was wonderful. All fantastic, until next time. Doggie friendly too, bonus 😁

This place is always quite busy however we got a nice seat in the window to look at the views. Nice coffee, lots of choice of cakes, I went for the blueberry and lime, was lovely. The guy that took our order didn't seem interested in his work in the slightest, shuffling around the place looking like he was trying to avoid doing anything, maybe he's new, maybe he's shy but it wasn't very good customer service. The other guy who brought us our coffees had much better customer interaction. This place is dog friendly. There were about 5/6 dogs in when we were there and a couple were quite barky and unsettled, it didn't make for a very relaxing atmosphere. Maybe limiting the amount of dogs allowed in would be a good idea for those not wanting to be near dogs or put them to one section of the cafe.

Love the look, both I side and out. I would love to visit again and again however the ability to have instructions given to the serving staff replicated by the kitchen and barrista was a challenge when looking to eat Keto and have drinks a little weaker than the norm. Communication needs to be improved.

Bacon pancakes and cappuccino awful. Like a time warp to 1985. Cappuccino milk burnt bitter. Bacon fat not remotely rendered. Simply not good enough. Shop bought processed pancakes. Awful.

Flat white with coconut milk very nice, customer service as well. Toilets however are outdated and not the cleanest.

Beach front coffee and a cake. Lovely surroundings and view over the Forth. Huge selection of cakes and tasty treats. Good set menu of family favourites with a few scottish specialities. My Miro Burger was a jucy hand-made patty and perfectly cooked. Kids menu also has a good set of choices. Compact inside, ground floor, a wheelchair could be accommodated but would be tight. Staff are friendly and attentive, I watched them manage a large family group with young children well. High chairs available. Groups larger than 8 would be a challenge. Top tips: lovely open fronted ice cream stand for a quick ice cream and coffee stop. Pricey, but the quality is high, and the portions are good. It is worth it for the view and location.

Good chai latte in comfortable surroundings and pleasant staff

This is an excellent place to eat. The food is of a good quality and there is plenty of choice. The restaurant is well staffed and the service excellent. We would recommend a visit if you are visiting Portobello. But remember to book!!

We stopped in for coffee, tea, and cake to get out of the rain. Service was wonderful! My chai latte was maybe the best I'd ever had and my husband's coffee was wonderful, as well.

Nice food great service and a bit of live music

Profumi di pesce atlantico con variazioni haggis sincronizzati dalla marea

Saturday morning breakfast with the dogs. Great food and coffee. Staff very friendly even spoke to the dogs

Udon was sucks..it tasted like drinking straight from the sea.

A surprisingly sudden and uncaring experience when sheltering from wind & rain after early morning swim (dressed apart from shoes & socks). Only 2, friendly, customers in. Surprisingly & sadly staff acted in a repulsed & disgusted manner, ordering me out - only entered inside the door asking if I could stand in the door way, put shoes on before sitting down for a coffee, as rain & wind had defeated me at that point. Moved on two doors down to what was a bustling warm & friendly cafe - no wonder (?) and a real shame….

We ended up walking out of Miro's because they were so awful on allergens. The first guy didn't seem to really know what gluten is and pointed to the only item on the menu that said GF. I explained that I wanted to ask about another item to see if it would be ok for me and he said the usual chef wasn't there so he couldn't ask. I asked to speak to someone else who said she couldn't tell me what's in the food and the chef doesn't feel comfortable cooking for allegies. I told her that legally she has to be able to tell me about allergens. She said they are too busy. She then sent me the first guy again so he could speak to the chef. He then came back with a third guy but by this time I decided I couldn't trust them to make me food that is safe to eat so we left. Very disappointed with this experience. We then went to another place nearby who looked after us so well, had a detailed allergen menu and explained everything beautifully.

Not many options esp for vegetarians but would definitely recommend their chai latte and carrot cake. Atmosphere can be better but there were more dogs than people and it smelt weird

Coffee was ace and food was great too Great views of the sea and a cool atmosphere.

Nice and friendly, good coffees. 👍 Wow ... what a fab place, with a lovely setting. Great location, Miros is situated right on the promenade overlooking Portobello beach ⛱️ its a fantastic beach. Had a fabulous walk along here and the beach is huge and has everything, cafes, tea rooms, amusements, a new leisure centre, vans for cake, snacks, the regular burgers, hot dogs etc. Also ... public toilets available too on the promenade. Finding ourselves in Miros felt warm and relaxing inside, the staff were attentive and served us lovely ☕️ coffees. There's a fabulous extensive menu. A breakfast menu 8.00-12 and such a huge choice of food for brunch and evening menu including baked seabass, prices are reasonable too. It is really quite spacious inside and tastefully decorated. A wonderful find as a cafe/restaurant to visit and has everything eg burgers, pastas, and great selection of seafood, tempura prawns. You must look as there's something for everyone. You can pop in for just coffees, teas and also choose from a great selection of cakes/deserts, rainbow cake caught my eye on the menu and lighter bites available too.😋 👌xxx

This is by far the best food i have had in my time here

Lovely breakfast & coffee with my Mum there today - excellent quick service, delicious food (we both had sausage on a roll, mine with brown sauce hers with mushrooms) & caramel oat lattes - All was delicious, not a crumb or drop left. Also asked to move over to the bay window seats when they became available to dog-spot and wait staff were very accomodating moving us over (Note dogs are welcome & many customers around us were of the canine variety with their humans which I adore). Lovely experience overall, fairly priced & highly recommend.

Filthy weather dog walks on the beach need a warm respite, a hot coffee, nice music, a place for my friend, and smiling faces. Miro's never fails.

Abbiamo ordinato delle crepes. Discrete. Unica stranezza e che l'abbiano servite tagliate a pezzi e non intera e una per volta. Non siamo riusciti a mangiarle insieme. Locale con pochissime persone e una vita per fare una crepe. Che poi una crepes viene circa 7 euro

Perfect spot for dining and feel the spirit of Portobello. Food is delicious, staff is polite and friendly. Strongly recomend.

Lovely place for lunch along the promenade. The seating can be tight and it can be understaffed at busy times. The Cullen skink and the house salad I had was excellent.

The cake was beautiful I had Lime, Zuchinni and Ginger. The portion size was very good, which helped me understand as the cake was expensive. The coffee was lovely. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable

Le fish est énorme, et de qualité !
