Argentine chef Mauro Calagrego is being recognized worldwide. His restaurant, Mirazur, located in the south of France, has been crowned the best restaurant in the world.

Mirazur took first place in the annual competition organized by the 50 best restaurants in the world. The establishment was praised for several of its dishes, including oysters, and chunks of beets with caviar cream.

The presenter of El gordo y la flaca (Univision), Raúl de Molina had the opportunity to personally visit the restaurant and share a few days with the chef in the vineyards in Italy.

“Mauro revolutionized the French cuisine that had had a slump, since they had not been able to achieve the coveted prize, best in the world, for many years. El Bullí in Spain, Eleven Madison Park in New York, Noma in Denmark, Ostrería Francesca in Italy are some of the winners in recent years. It was this Argentine immigrant with his light and fresh food with spices that he sows in his own garden, in front of the restaurant, who regained the gastronomic throne for France,”De Molina shared with People En Español. "He was also the first foreigner to receive three Michelin stars within the French Republic."

What did the chubby De Molina think about the food?

The oysters, the pieces of shaved beets with caviar, the undercooked pigeon, a finished cake with flowers and herbs that looked like a flower arrangement, the candies that you eat them with the plastic that surrounds them and my favorite the cheese cart, a [closed] trunk that when opened on all four sides looks like a magical work.

About the environment …

The waiters do not wear tuxedo, but suits in the same blue color as the French Riviera sea that can be seen in the large glass windows that turn the entire building.

It is what a restaurant of the 21st century has to be; where traditional formality has been changed for casual elegance. Immigrating from a country where financial crises and corruption are known worldwide, but where they have also managed to crown themselves as the most important on this planet. Messi in soccer, Pope Francisco in religion and now Mauro Calagreco in gastronomy.

What made Mirazur the best in the world?

Aside from unrivaled views of the French Riviera, three tiers of cascading orchards producing the sweetest produce, and an incredibly talented team of chefs.

The restaurant opened in 2006 and now has three Michelin stars.
