Restaurant in Ostwald, France
Michelin-recognised fusion at mid-range prices.
Miro earns its Michelin Plate (2024) and 4.7-star Google rating with a fusion menu that genuinely spans South American, Japanese, and French cooking. At the €€ price point on the banks of the River Ill in Ostwald, it is the most interesting kitchen in the area. The lunch set menu is the smartest entry point for a first visit.
Miro is worth booking, particularly if you are after something genuinely different from the Alsatian classics that dominate the region. Holding a Michelin Plate (2024) and rated 4.7 across 666 Google reviews, this €€ fusion restaurant on the banks of the River Ill delivers a menu that pulls from South American, Japanese, and French cooking without feeling like a concept in search of a point. For a first-timer in Ostwald, it reads as the most interesting table in the immediate area.
The setting does real work here. Miro sits in grounds beside the River Ill, and the atmosphere leans calm and unhurried rather than formal or hushed. If you are arriving expecting the buttoned-up energy of a classical Alsatian dining room, adjust your expectations: Miro has an easy, convivial mood that suits an evening meal at your own pace. The ambient sound level is low enough to hold a proper conversation, which makes it a stronger pick for date nights or small-group dinners than for large, loud celebrations.
The menu is where the kitchen earns its recognition. The Michelin Plate signals cooking that is technically sound and genuinely pleasurable, and the specific dishes mentioned in Miro's recognition data give you a clear picture: Thai-style sea bass ceviche and an Argentinian beef entrecote finished over burning embers. These are not fusion-for-fusion's-sake choices. They are the result of a chef with documented fluency across South American, Japanese, and French cooking traditions, and the execution reflects that grounding. The ceviche brings brightness and acidity; the beef over embers delivers smoke and char in a way that direct French preparations rarely attempt.
For first-timers, the most important piece of practical advice is this: look hard at the lunch set menu. Michelin's own note flags it as a steal, which in €€ territory at a Plate-level restaurant means you are likely getting serious cooking at a price point that removes any hesitation about trying the kitchen for the first time. If your schedule allows a midday visit, lead with that option.
Miro is not a restaurant built around off-premise dining, and that matters. The two standout preparations in the record, a bright citrus-forward ceviche and an ember-finished entrecote, are both formats that depend heavily on immediacy and the right environment. Ceviche loses texture fast. Beef finished over embers needs to rest and be served at the right temperature to carry its full effect. Neither of these dishes is well-suited to a delivery container or a 20-minute transit window. If your goal is to experience what Miro does well, you need to eat it in the room. The riverside setting and the relaxed atmosphere are also part of the value proposition here, and that does not survive a takeout order. There is no evidence in the venue data that Miro operates a delivery or takeout service, and even if it did, it would not be the right way to judge this kitchen.
Booking at Miro is rated as direct. With a 4.7 rating across 666 reviews and Michelin recognition, the restaurant has a clear following, but at the €€ price point in a suburban Alsatian commune rather than central Strasbourg, demand is unlikely to require more than a few days of forward planning on most nights. The lunch set menu may require less lead time than weekend dinner. Hours and a direct booking method are not confirmed in our data, so check via the restaurant's current online listings before making plans.
For context on what Miro sits alongside in the broader French fine dining conversation: restaurants like Auberge de l'Ill in Illhaeusern and Arpège in Paris represent the classical and avant-garde anchors of French restaurant culture. Miro is doing something different from both, and that specificity is the point. For fusion cooking with comparable cross-cultural ambition elsewhere in Europe, Jae in Düsseldorf and Soseki in Winter Park offer useful reference points, though both operate in very different market contexts.
If you are building a trip around Alsatian dining more broadly, see our full Ostwald restaurants guide for the wider picture, and check the Ostwald hotels guide, bars guide, and experiences guide if you are planning a longer stay. The wineries guide is also worth a look given the Alsace wine context.
For reference among France's most-decorated regional tables, Mirazur in Menton, Flocons de Sel in Megève, Troisgros in Ouches, Bras in Laguiole, Les Prés d'Eugénie in Eugénie-les-Bains, Paul Bocuse in Collonges-au-Mont-d'Or, Georges Blanc in Vonnas, Auberge du Vieux Puits in Fontjoncouse, and La Table du Castellet in Le Castellet all represent what sustained ambition looks like across French regions. Miro is not competing at that tier by price or recognition level, but within the €€ range and within Ostwald specifically, it is the most interesting cooking available.

A few days is usually enough. Miro is rated as easy to book, and at the €€ price point in Ostwald rather than central Strasbourg, demand does not run at the same intensity as a starred Paris restaurant. Weekday lunch is likely the easiest window; weekend dinner may need a bit more notice. Confirm directly, as hours and booking methods are not listed in our current data.
Within Ostwald and the immediate area, Miro is the most distinctively positioned table at this price range. For a fuller picture of what is available locally, see our Ostwald restaurants guide. If you are willing to travel to Strasbourg or broader Alsace, the region has a deeper bench including Auberge de l'Ill in Illhaeusern, which operates at a higher price tier and with Michelin star recognition.
Based on the Michelin recognition data, the Thai-style sea bass ceviche and the Argentinian beef entrecote finished over burning embers are the dishes that define the kitchen's identity. Both reflect the chef's documented grounding in South American, Japanese, and French cooking. On a first visit, order at least one of the two to understand what Miro is actually doing. And if you are visiting at lunch, start with the set menu: it is flagged by Michelin as strong value for this style of cooking.
The lunch set menu is the clearer value call here. Michelin's own note describes it as a steal, which at €€ pricing for Plate-level cooking is a credible signal. Whether a longer tasting format is available and how it is priced is not confirmed in our data, so check the current menu before committing. At this price tier, the risk of overspending is low relative to Paris-tier alternatives.
Three things: the riverside setting means the atmosphere is calm rather than city-energised, so it suits relaxed meals more than high-energy nights out. The cooking draws on South American, Japanese, and French influences, so expect a menu that reads differently from a conventional Alsatian table. And the lunch set menu is the most efficient way to experience the kitchen on a first visit, both in terms of price and as a low-commitment introduction to what Miro does.
Yes, within a specific set of conditions. The riverside setting, relaxed atmosphere, and Michelin Plate-level cooking make it a solid choice for a birthday dinner or anniversary meal where the goal is a genuinely good meal in a calm environment rather than a grand, formal production. At €€, the financial pressure is also lower than at starred alternatives. If you need the full ceremony of a major occasion, a higher-tier restaurant in Strasbourg or Paris would be the more appropriate match, but for a meaningful meal without the complexity, Miro works well.

What to weigh when choosing between Miro and alternatives.
A week's notice is usually sufficient given the mid-range price point and Ostwald's size, but the Michelin Plate recognition means weekends fill faster. Book at least 10 days out for Friday or Saturday evening, and aim for the lunch sitting if you want the most flexibility — the set lunch menu is the strongest value proposition on the card.
Miro is one of the few fusion-forward options in the area; most nearby restaurants lean hard into Alsatian tradition. If you want to stay close to Ostwald, the comparison set narrows quickly — Miro's Michelin Plate and €€ pricing put it ahead of generic brasseries in the area. For a step up in ambition, Strasbourg's centre is close enough to consider, but you will pay significantly more.
The two preparations the Michelin record highlights are the Thai-style sea bass ceviche and the Argentinian beef entrecôte finished over burning embers — these are the clearest expressions of the chef's travel-driven cooking style. The lunch set menu is explicitly flagged as a steal, so if you are visiting midday, lead with that rather than ordering à la carte.
The lunch set menu is the documented value play here, described in the Michelin record as a steal at the €€ price range. No specific tasting menu format is confirmed in available data, so verify the current dinner format when booking — but at this price tier, the risk of overpaying is low compared with similarly credentialled restaurants.
Come expecting fusion, not Alsatian classics — the kitchen draws on South American, Japanese, and French technique, and dishes like the Thai-style ceviche sit alongside grilled Argentine beef. The setting is on the banks of the River Ill, so the atmosphere runs calm and unhurried rather than buzzy. The €€ price point means it is an accessible first visit without a heavy commitment.
Yes, with the right expectations: this is a Michelin Plate restaurant with a relaxed riverside setting and mid-range pricing, which makes it a stronger fit for a low-pressure celebratory dinner than a formal milestone. If you need a grander stage or a longer tasting format, you would need to travel into Strasbourg — but for a genuinely good meal that will not feel routine, Miro delivers the case.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
