Familiar flavours of home

Italian-Argentinian chef-restaurateur Mauro Colagreco is a force to be reckoned with. A former alum who worked the kitchens in France for culinary greats like Alain Passard, Alain Ducasse and Bernard Loiseau, he is the first Latin-American and non-French citizen to receive three Michelins for his restaurant Mirazur in Menton, France. That same year in 2019, Mirazur was voted No.1 on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list and subsequently inaugurated into the “Best of the Best” category in The World’s 50 Best Restaurants awards.

Since opening Mirazur in 2006, the enterprising chef has built a mini dining empire of restaurants and brasseries in Paris, Nice, Cannes, Beijing, Macau and Florida. He also owns an international burger chain called Carne. Closer to home, Colagreco opened Côte by Mauro Colagreco at Capella Bangkok in 2020, which bagged a Michelin star a year later.
