Mauro Colagreco

Mauro Colagreco is an Argentinian chef who owns the acclaimed Mirazur restaurant in Menton, France. He is currently newsworthy due to Ferran Adrià joining Mirazur as a gastronomic 'curator'. Colagreco, who trained in France, found the location for Mirazur after hearing about a beautiful restaurant site with Mediterranean views that had been closed for years. He's also known for his connection to nature, with his wife describing him as feeling more like a gardener than a chef. Colagreco cultivates a garden at 700 meters above sea level in Castillon, supplying fresh ingredients for his restaurant. Despite his success, Colagreco acknowledges facing initial challenges and feeling ignored in France before achieving recognition. His restaurant and approach highlight the intersection of gastronomy, nature, and international culinary influence.
