Mirazur, housed in a majestic 1930s building with terraced garden, mountain backdrop and a magnificent sea view of the Riviera, is mere steps from the Italian border. Commandeered by Chef Mauro Colagreco, the restaurant has scaled to No. 6 on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants. The chef draws inspiration from the rare vegetables and baby salad leaves from Mirazur’s gardens and from his Italian-Argentinian roots. Bolstered by a web of suppliers, the market of Ventimiglia provides a rich source of just-picked heirloom vegetables and sparkling-fresh seafood. Don’t miss his signature dish: Oyster with tapioca, shallot cream and pear.
