MIRAZUR

Extremely disappointed. Server was incomprehensible. Had to ask for a replacement. Rest of service wasn't much better. Drinks arriving at irregular times is poor form for a 3* restaurant. Also, their understanding of vegetarian/pescatarian leaves a lot to be desired. Much nicer (and cheaper) places in the area.

To much flavor

???? A Deeply Disappointing Experience at Mirazur

Despite Mirazur’s international accolades and three Michelin stars, our recent visit fell drastically short of expectations.

We opted for the €450 tasting menu with wine pairing (€170), anticipating an exceptional dining experience. What we received, however, was a series of small, underwhelming dishes that neither impressed in flavour nor in execution. The portion sizes bordered on symbolic, and while minimalism can be powerful when done right, this felt more like style over substance.

The food lacked cohesion and character, and the much-publicised “lunar calendar” concept seemed more like marketing theatre than a genuine culinary philosophy. At this level, technique and depth of flavour should speak for themselves—they didn’t.

The wine pairing was particularly disappointing. Among the selections was a supermarket-available €14/bottle Château Marjosse, which felt unjustifiable in a €170 pairing. For a restaurant of this stature, we expected more thoughtful and elevated choices.

Service was another letdown. Apart from Chie-san, a gracious and attentive Japanese server who was the sole highlight of our evening, the rest of the crew came across as distant, occasionally snobbish, and inattentive. Service was interrupted and impersonal—antithetical to the warm, immersive hospitality you’d expect from a top-tier establishment.

A pre-dinner garden tour was included, presumably to showcase Chef Mauro Colagreco’s culinary inspiration. Unfortunately, Chef Mauro did not acknowledge or greet guests during the tour. More concerning were the multiple safety hazards throughout the garden—a surprising oversight for a venue that prides itself on guest experience.

The overall atmosphere lacked warmth, and the bread—supposedly based on the chef’s grandmother’s recipe—was cold, bland, and forgettable. At a restaurant straddling French and Argentinian culinary traditions, this was particularly disappointing.

Not all was negative—the cheese course (an add-on) was genuinely excellent, and Chie-san’s service deserves full credit. But these isolated moments couldn’t salvage what was otherwise a puzzling and unsatisfying evening.

I was especially perturbed to see how Mirazur once ranked as #1 on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list—an honour that felt wholly disconnected from the reality we experienced.

For a place marketed as “destination dining,” there was nothing spectacular—no dish, no moment, no memory that justified the effort to get there or the price tag that came with it.

At €620 per person for the full experience, Mirazur felt overpriced, overrated, and out of touch. Its remote location, paired with a disjointed menu and aloof service, raises serious questions about how it continues to hold three Michelin stars.

Absolutely incredible

Avere l’opportunità di mangiare al Mirazur è come avere la possibilità di essere sugli spalti nella finale dei mondiali e sta giocando la tua squadra.
Un esperienza sensoriale più unica che rara.
Mauro Colangreco che passa a tavola a salutarci un emozione unica!
Era ottobre il menù era a base di radici. La cameriera che ci racconta del burro. I ragazzi che impiattano a fianco a noi senza creare nessun rumore.
Ogni centesimo speso ne è valsa la pena! Grazie Mauro e grazie team per averci regalato queste emozioni!
