There are a lot of places in Maine to visit if you're craving comfort food. But lately it seems folks are talking a lot about Portland for things like that. Don't get us wrong, we love the Portland food scene! But in a state as diverse as Maine it's important to remember that great food can be found all over. And this little spot in the midcoast is one of the best. But don't let the word "cafe" fool you. This menu has something for everyone!
From the outside, Cafe Miranda in Rockland looks like a small cafe in a modest home.
And inside the vibe echoes the casual nature of the outside. Things here feel laid back and comforting.
Which is reasonable considering the food here is about as comforting as it gets.
Started by Chef Kerry Altiero who brought his passion for great food and Italian heritage and mixed it with a love of Rockland, this place has it all! In fact, the "small plates" section of the supper menu has no less than 25 items!
And the "Comfort Food" section features an eclectic mix of heritage dishes, including "Pierogies!" which come filled with potato & cheese, and have crispy sautéed beef and caramelized onion, mushrooms, garlic, basil, parsley and butter with fire roasted tomato.
You can get brunch, lunch or supper here, plus they have an amazing kids menu. This is a wonderful choice for groups with eclectic tastes.
They offer tons of pizza options, including a make-your-own option. Plus, they have their own mobile wood fired oven to help cater your event.
In the summer the outside dining area is lovely.
And in the winter there might not be a cozier, more welcoming spot in Maine!
