 As years go, they don’t go much better than 2019 for Mauro Colagreco<\/strong>. Just three weeks into the year, the Argentinean-born chef was awarded his third Michelin star for Mirazur<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, his incredible flagship restaurant that hangs over the Mediterranean near the sun-drenched coastal town of Menton on the French Riviera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five months later, Mirazur claimed the top spot on The World\u2019s 50 Best Restaurants list <\/span><\/a>and then Mauro scooped the Chef of the Year title from the esteemed Gault & Millau guide later that summer. \u2018To be awarded three Michelin stars and topping The World\u2019s 50 Best Restaurants list in the same year was an incredible honour for our team,\u2019 Mauro explains. \u2018Bringing The World\u2019s 50 Best Restaurants award back to France was especially beautiful. It was an important time to say, \u201ccome to France, see how it\u2019s changing\u201d. It was also a great moment for French gastronomy.\u2019  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a huge moment, but there was little time to bask in the glory. Mauro and his team were in the\u00a0gruelling\u00a0final stages of launching two new restaurants at the\u00a0One&Only\u00a0Royal Mirage hotel in Dubai.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Worlds away from the produce-rich coastal region of Menton, Mauro was keen to bring his seasonal food philosophy to the desert but he had his work cut out.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Celebrities restaurant<\/strong><\/a> and The Beach Bar & Grill<\/strong><\/a> are very different to\u00a0Mirazur, but both adopt the same techniques and philosophy.\u00a0Mirazur\u2019s\u00a0location is like nowhere else in the world. Behind us we have mountains, in front of us the Mediterranean Sea, and around us we have a microclimate that allows lots of different vegetables, herbs and plants to grow.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Mauro<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Dubai has a very different landscape. We try to work in the same way as much as possible. We meet and form relationships with suppliers and make the most of the local produce and use as much of it in our menus as we can. Of course, it\u2019s challenging, but it\u2019s important that we find solutions.\u2019  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s this solution-driven approach that\u2019s proving invaluable during the current global lockdown. Like most of the restaurant industry across Europe, the closure of Mirazur has hit his team hard. However, the chef remains positive and is doing all he can to help his staff and the local community.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u2018\u2018<\/em>It\u2019s been a complex and challenging time that demonstrates both our vulnerability and our strength.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u2018We are using this time for reflection and spending time with our families. Mirazur may not be open, but we are still in daily touch with all our team. We have a WhatsApp group for talking, sharing jokes and discussing how we feel and showing support if anyone is in need. Myself and the team are also cooking and delivering homemade focaccia, pastries and fresh salads to the staff at Menton hospital.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018It\u2019s been a complex and challenging time that demonstrates both our vulnerability and our strength. This moment has revealed our capacity for synergy and response. This virus has shown us that there are no borders, that we share a common destiny.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018The idea that \u201cwe are all one\u201d is much more powerful than the lines and divisions of any geo-political map. I\u2019ve learnt that community, and behaviour at local level, are fundamental for collective survival.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Also, the provenance of food \u2013 where it comes from and who ensures production and supply, and of course local producers are just as important. Now we need to strengthen these networks within our communities, be grateful and support them.\u2019  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what about when this situation passes and life returns to relative normality, where will Mauro Colagreco head for his first meal? True to form, he\u2019s going to keep things simple. \u2018I will go across the border to Italy for some fresh pasta at a small family restaurant, La Vecchia Ostaia.\u2019 Beyond this, who knows what the next year will bring for Mauro, but he\u2019s pretty certain that he\u2019ll continue to evolve as a chef, support his community and never take anything for granted, especially his success. He\u2019s even tentatively opened the reservations book at Mirazur for bookings from June to September.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until then, you can bring some Mirazur magic to your home cooking with Mauro\u2019s five simple ingredients: \u2018The things that change a dish are often the simplest: good olive oil, parsley, chives, garlic and a squeeze of lemon.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interview with Mauro Colagreco featured in Ten\u2019s DINE magazine, full to the brim with news from the world\u2019s best chefs and restaurants. You can download the issue here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ten Lifestyle Group works closely with critically acclaimed chefs such as Colagreco and their teams to make sure that we can get our members the prime-time tables they want, even if the reservation book is full for the general public. We recently spoke to another acclaimed chef, Ollie Dabbous<\/a><\/strong>, about launching his restaurant, Hide<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
