HAVE YOU BOOKED YOUR TABLE AT THE WORLD’S BEST RESTAURANT YET?

It is almost like reaching the zenith, unrivalled views of the French Riviera, three levels of gushing vegetable gardens tossing out the sweetest produce and a team of outrageously talented chefs. Mirazur in France recently caught all the limelight when it topped in the annual competition organised by the World's 50 Best Restaurants. Known for its incredible sea views and location in a 1930s villa, Mirazur speaks delicacy and beauty at the same time. Roughly translated as ‘look at the blue’, Mirazur suggests a vantage point over the water. And it certainly does justice to its name. The Argentine-born chef, Mauro Colagreco draws inspiration from the region creating a colourful Mediterranean masterpiece in each dish.

Not just a “Restaurant”

Sitting comfortably at the foot of some dramatic mountains, Mirazur surrounded by their own gardens carrying fruits, vegetables, herbs, citrus trees and more that finally ends up on your table. There are chickens providing eggs and hives for honey, while you might be that lucky diner who gets invited by Chef Mauro Colagreco to tour the gardens and taste some of the produce first hand. What about some organic experience of wild rosemary, jasmine and their orange orchard? On the lowest of Mirazur’s three floors, an open kitchen sits alongside a lounge and a reception which boasts their accolades. You might have got a hint till now, ‘it’s not just a restaurant, but an experience in itself’.

The irresistible gastronomy

Mirazur is special, the one you binged on might not be available on your next visit. This is because the menu keeps changing. Among all these, some dishes here are the specialities for which Colagreco's regular diners keep finding their way back again and again. Red beetroot with caviar cream is loved by everyone. Bright red beetroot is first presented to diners at the table, then cooked in a salt crust before wafer-thin slices and is served in a sauce studded with black pearls of caviar. Similarly, their sharing bread is a round loaf in six pieces that comes in a wooden bowl. Accompanying the bread is vibrant yellow olive oil infused with lemon juice. Lemon in Mirazur is undeniably Colagreco's signature ingredient – along with ginger. To get a dearer taste of the sea, oyster with tapioca, shallot cream, and pear should be a perfect match.
