Mauro Colagreco's good addresses

The chef at the Mirazur restaurant in Menton shares his tips for buying quality oil, good bread or enjoying artisanal ice cream in the sunshine.

Mauro Colagreco, winner of 4 toques and Gault & Millau's 2009 Chef of the Year award, is one of today's leading chefs. At his Mirazur restaurant in Menton, he sublimates the fruits and vegetables of his kitchen garden, showcases local producers and reinvents his menu in line with lunar cycles and the seasons. But like everyone else, Mauro Colagreco sometimes likes to stroll through the markets, treat himself to a fine cheese platter or enjoy an ice cream on a sunny day. Today, the chef shares his top addresses for a gourmet moment.

Huilerie Saint-Michel, Menton

Oil is one of Mauro Colagreco's favorite products in the kitchen. To source it, he works closely with Huilerie Saint-Michel, in Menton, a veritable institution according to the chef, who points out that Karim, one of the producers, is also his friend. "We've been working together since I arrived in Menton and we've created several olive oil recipes, including some exclusive to Mirazur." Mauro Colagreco loves to enjoy this oil on its own, with good bread.

Mitron Bakery, Menton

Speaking of good bread, Mauro Colagreco obviously recommends buying from Mitron Bakery, an old Menton bakery, taken over by the chef in 2019. Here, bread is baked with ancient flours and wheats, "so that we can offer bread and pastries that are sustainable, but also more digestible thanks to their properties."You'll find Khorasan or Pétanielle noire de Nice breads, as well as elaborate creations like Menton lemon tart or Fougasse mentonnaise.

Market in Ventimiglia, Italy

Ventimiglia, Italy, is just a few kilometers from Menton. Mauro Colagreco regularly sends his chefs to the market, which takes place on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, and brings together numerous small producers in the halles. "Between the beans, tomatoes, oil and even honey producers, it's a great source of inspiration and a goldmine of local produce," enthuses the chef.

Le Paradis de la glace, in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin

On sunny days, Mauro Colagreco likes to stroll along the seafront with his wife and children. In summer, he often visits the Paradis des glaces in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin to treat himself to a cone or a cup. "There's always a queue at this place during the high season... And it's easy to see why!"

La fromagerie Curti, Castellar

What would a gourmet restaurant be without a fine selection of cheeses? Mauro Colagreco knows this only too well, and regularly calls on Fromagerie Curti, located in Castellar, which produces goat's milk cheese in the hinterland. The chef offers this cheese at Mirazur, but also uses it at Pecora Negra, his pizzeria also in Menton.

  • Where to buy? Fromagerie Curti, 1 rue des Lavoirs, 06500 Castellar
