The Worlds Greatest Restaurant, if you believe in awards and ranking lists titles Mirazur in Menton, France by Chef Mauro Colagreco as the best in 2019. With the current climate, 2020s planned ceremony has been postponed like many events to 2021.

Colagreco, now a household name for self-professed gourmets has been busy since reaching the top of his game. New restaurant openings in the US and also in Asia, as well as working on new developments at his restaurant in Southern France with a complete face lift to improve the customer experience. This was also the case for another dominating restaurant, Eleven Madison Park in NYC by Humm

A menu change was probably not on the cards for Colagreco and his Mirazur team, however, after a little less than 3 months of being closed due to the pandemic, Colagreco has opened his 3-Michelin star restaurant with a rather perplexing menu which is governed by the lunar calendar.

The team released they are wanting to reinvent themselves, innovate and introduce their guests to a new chapter in a recent press release. They also said The containment was a real period of introspection and questioning after a year 2019 loaded with emotions, titles and awards. say Julia and Mauro Colagreco, the husband and wife duo.

When I visited a few years ago - the restaurant was purely just a restaurant unlike other Michelin-star restaurants which seem to incorporate a more holistic and engaging experience.

However, things have changed a lot in the F&B industry, particularly for chefs who are catapulted into the limelight with big awards such as Mirazur was. Colagreco is on a quest for new experiences and challenges and this involves integrating the garden, the time of the heart of Mirazur cuisine which are governed by the lunar calendar - as the team have shared.

Today more than ever, we want to be closer to nature. This approach seemed obvious to us since it is time to bring about change.We did not imagine welcoming our customers in the same restaurant that we had left with difficulty three months earlier.

Titled as Lunar Menu - the menu will involve elements loosely based on roots, leaves, flowers, fruits intriguing, isnt it?

Even before the covid-situation, Colagreco was already thinking about biodynamic cuisines for his award-winning restaurant, Mirazur.

In a conversation with the Worlds 50 best restaurants, Colagreco shared his thoughts with foodies awaiting his next big food-move:

What diners get today at Mirazur is just the restaurant, Colagreco says. But we have gardens and we want to take our customers through those gardens so they can really discover the true Mirazur. Its not just what you find on the plate but all the work behind it, the products and the research. We have all this work that weve been doing for years and now we really need to value it. Its going to be amazing to feel proud of all our work around biodiversity, nature and the small producers, which is so important to what we do but isnt always appreciated.
