Between borders, sea, garden and mountains
LeMirazur
At the foot of the mountains overlooking the sea, a stone’s throw from Italian border post…Read more, the 1930s-era rotunda building housing the Mirazur enjoys an idyllic setting.
It spreads over three levels on the hillside, surrounded by lush vegetation.
The elegant, spacious and light-drenched dining room commands a panoramic view of the sea and the town of Menton through the large windows running all the way around.
Through his personal interpretations of ingredients and flavour combinations, Mauro Colagreco has forged a style of his own.
He has absorbed his Italian-Argentinian cultural heritage and that of the chefs with whom he trained, and now follows his intuition as he draws on the local culture on both sides of the border.
Inspired by the sea, the mountains and the fruit and vegetables grown in his own gardens, Mauro invents colourful, pictorial dishes that play with textures and bold contrasts.
“At the Mirazur, we are lucky to work with a young and cosmopolitan team, which creates a lot of culinary interchange. Exchange and sharing as well as a holistic vision of the cuisine are an integral part of our philosophy.”

Mauro’s pickof the month
The sweet violet (viola odorata) is sometimes found under the names «Herb-Trinity”, “flower of March” or “wood violet”… Its flowers and leaves are particularly rich in vitamin C. The sweet violet contains a compound of ionone which gives it a powerful but fleeting scent. The flowers of the violet are very delicate and perfectly edible. The scent does not survive cooking and vanishes easily.
Bonito is the vernacular name given to several species of fish, relatives of the tuna, which belong to the Scombridae family. Gourmets consider the bonito to be the best representative of the tuna family, superior in quality to the tuna and all other associated species. As a matter of fact, its name derives from the Italian language, with Latin roots, meaning “good”.
This wild garlic is found in undergrowth. Its flavor is much lighter than the cultivated species. Its leaves resemble the lily of the valley. It has a sweet, delicate, fresh, invigorating and slightly zesty taste.
The garden peas, a.k.a. “green peas”, “common peas” or “field peas”, are the young green seeds of cultivated varieties of peas. They are harvested after their development inside the pods but before their full maturity. They are consumed as fresh vegetables.
