Headed-up by the highly acclaimed chef Mauro Colagreco, the three-Michelin starred Mirazur restaurant has been voted the Number One Restaurant in the World for 2019.
With its mountain-views, French Riviera location and world-renowned chef at the helm it’s easy to see why the three Michelin starred Mirazur is so highly-esteemed.
Situated in Menton on the Cote d’Azur not far from the Italian border, Mirazur is perched on a hill, allowing for some spectacular views of both the Alps and the Mediterranean Sea.
But its idyllic setting is not the only reason diners visit the restaurant - they come to enjoy the gastronomic creations of a chef with an international string of accolades to his name.
This location creates a particular dynamic, it awakens a taste for surprise and new creations
After being mentored by the likes of Alain Passard and Alain Ducasse, chef Mauro Colagreco was in good stead to open his own restaurant in 2006. He went on to earn his first Michelin star just a year later, a second in 2012 and a third in 2019 along with worldwide critical acclaim and multiple national awards.
With an abundance of fantastic dining options on offer during a French Riviera yacht charter, the Mirazur certainly provides one of the most memorable experiences.
Mirazur’s menu sees Colagreco combine his Italian-Argentinian cultural heritage with the best produce and local influences on both sides of the Riviera border to form a style entirely of his own.
Inspired by the sea, mountains and the vegetables he grows in his garden, the plates are fresh, colourful and respectful of nature - changing fluidly with the seasons. He says he is influenced by setting of Mirazur, saying; “This location creates a particular dynamic, it awakens a taste for surprise and new creations”.
The restaurant itself is set out over three floors in the hillside and has been beautifully designed to showcase its surroundings.
Panoramic windows not only offer views over the sea but ensure that the modern, elegantly styled dining rooms are drenched with natural light, creating a feeling of space whether you’re visiting for lunch or the evening menu.
