Our friend Mauro Colagreco, owner and Chef of Mirazur has won the nomination of the Best Restaurant in the World.
Chef Mauro is running also the famous restaurant AZUR located at Shangri-La Hotel, Beijing, and we are honored to become part of the story of his success.
Mediterranean venue Mirazur has taken the number one spot at the World's 50 Best Restaurant Awards in Singapore -- an event considered the Oscars of the fine dining world.
Run by Argentinian-Italian chef Mauro Colagreco, Mirazur is located in Menton, France, close to the Italian border. The victory adds to a remarkable year that began with Mirazur being awarded its third Michelin star.
Colagreco and his team took to the stage at Marina Bay Sands with a banner stitched from the flags of the nations that have shaped them: France, Argentina, Italy and Brazil.
France "allows me to express myself," Colagreco told the crowd, but "cuisine is able to cross all kinds of borders."
Later, after reflecting a bit on the honor, Colagreco, in a post-awards press conference, said "It's incredible, I don't have words to explain - it's something so special, all the work, all the love of my team to achieve this award is something so special for us for me and Julia [his wife]."
