Local Miri Seafood Restaurants: Fabulous Seafood
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • By virtue of being on the coast, Miri has got some of the best seafood places. You mustn't miss the chance of dining at any of them. Most seafood restaurants here are in the open air so you can enjoy the food and the atmosphere. Go in the evenings when it is a little cooler.

    The prices are pretty reasonable as well, but do be careful as some restaurants do not have menus to show the prices, so try to agree on the prices of the items when you order

    You have to try the buttered prawns, steamed fish, deep fried calamari and tom yam soup. Mmmmmmmm...............

    Local specialties: The infamous Mee Kolok
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • You can find noodles in just about any chinese cafe in Miri. You can have them fried, boiled or blanched and all of them taste as good. However, one that you must try in Sarawak is the Mee Kolok which is basically blanched noodles with slices of meat & vegetables, served dry or soup (in a broth).

    It's also a cheap meal, under US$1 for a bowl. When I come home to Miri, I will have my mee kolok and mee merah, which is the same but mixed with a sweet red sauce. Yummy!! When I moved to KL, I found some stalls selling the noodles but the taste is never the same

    Fratini's Restaurant: Good Italian Cooking
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Fratini's Restaurant is an familiar name to the neighbouring Bruneians where this Italian food franchise is from. So if you feel like having some good Italian food e.g pizzas, pastas, desserts and coffee, Fratini's may have something for you. Personally I think that the place is better than some Italian restaurants in KL (honestly).

    The indoor ambiance is warm & cosy and the service is friendly. Prices is on the high side but they occasionally have promotions, one is 30% off pizzas & pasta for takeaway. Still, I think that the for the quality you will get from Fratini's, it's worth it especially when you want to give yourself a nice treat or impress your date. They can organise parties or functions and also do outside catering and home delivery

    You can't go wrong with most dishes on the menu and the coffee is fantastic

    San Francisco Coffee: Coffee & Wifi
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • This is actually a franchise available throughout Malaysia, especially in Kuala Lumpur, so it's not unique to Miri. However, it serves up a pretty good cafe latte (better than Starbucks, I'll say) and cheesecakes. Choose from hot espresso drinks to ice blended Fraps to fruity ice thirst quenchers.

    Standard SanFran sandwiches are also available here, and another good thing about the place is the free wifi. The cafe is located in the M Square building and has an outdoor deck which overlooks the street. This is a nice place to chill, surf the net and chat with friends where I like to go to at night.

    The coffee of course :)

    YUMMY
  • Tip Rating:
  • Being a multi racial country its not a problem to find any kind of food in Miri from fast food to Chinese or Indian or Western food. Easily can find restaurants aorund Miri town.

    Its not a problem to find any beers around though Malaysia is a muslim country.

    Love all kind of foods.. Nasi Lemak, Nasi Ayam..u named it we got it all here except for maybe those uncommon dishes like Arab food. The price quite reasonable and dont forget to check the menu before u order ;-) just to make sure u are not overcharge.

    Open air eatery
  • Satisfaction:
  • You will see alot of open eatery in Miri . I had a breakfast of Roti Selur and local coffee. Roti is a pancake like dish selur means egg so a Roti selur is a thin pancake with chicken egg inside of it. It is served with curry sauce . The coffe is a dark one and bitter at that but you can see a layer of condense milk on the bottom. You are supposed to stir it all up to have a sweetend coffee. My breakfast cost me only .35 Cents USD . Its a great way to experince the local life

    Blue Ginger: An unexpectedly lovely restaurant
  • Satisfaction:
  • I was driving past a hotel, what used to be called Holiday Inn (can't remember the name now) and there in the quiet shoplots was a restaurant. I went in and was pleasantly surprised by the green wall and the other was a painting of the sea. The place looked like it was a Italian restaurant but they had everything western and eastern. It wasn't extravegant but it was warm and cosy. I loved it. Mind you, I haven't been back to Miri since... last year. So I have no idea how it's doing now.

    They served whole but small chicken with fillings of rice and veggies! Loved it!

    Boulevard (Chinese & Seafood) Restaurant: One of the Best Chinese Restaurant in Miri
  • Satisfaction:
  • This restaurant serves halal (kosher) Chinese food. The restaurant is large and has 3 floors; the ground floor is the main restaurant, the 2nd floor is for special functions (e.g. wedding parties, etc.) while the 3rd floor is a Ballroom for even larger formal dinner functions.

    The service is quick and professional. The food is delicious, and in generous portions. The restaurant also serves Dim Sums on the weekends.

    Everything is good.

    This restaurant had a humble beginning because the owner started with a small restaurant in Sibu town. Then he moved to Miri to open a restaurant with his family in a shoplot in a new commercial area. Now Boulevard restaurant is situated in its own 3-storey building and can cater large functions from weddings to company dinners.

    Through the years, it has also maintained its quality of food and reasonable prices. This restaurant doesn't serve pork so the muslims can enjoy their meals here as well

    There's to many to mention plus the menu changes from time to time. The ones I tried that I like were

    - Weekend dim sum (selection)
    - Tossed jungle ferns Thai style
    - Steamed King prawns
    - Hot & Sour soup
    - Steamed fish (spicy)
