Chef Mauro Colagreco chose cookery in his native Argentina as a means of expressing himself, growing up as he did in a family where fine cuisine was always part of the atmosphere. Mad keen on travelling, back pack at the ready, he set out across his own country, Latin America and the Caribbean, absorbing along the way the various culinary traditions and tastes.

Trained in a hotel school in Buenos Aires from 1998 to 2000, he sortied out first among some of the capital’s most prestigious restaurants. In love with his metier and seduced by the prospect of developing his studies even more thoroughly, he set out for France in 2001 to continue his training at the Lycée Hôtelier in La Rochelle on the Atlantic coast.

Early 2009 The Mirazur is chosen as the 35th best restaurant in the world according to the San Pellegrino classification.
Driven as he is to keep on learning and discovering new things, however many and various his experiences, Mauro has been able to express himself fully within the magnificent setting of Le Mirazur.

He has developed a creative style of gastronomic cuisine, folding in the best of Mediterranean cooking, just a stone’s throw from the old customs post that separates France from Italy.
