Le Mirazur - Menton

The reason I gave my review 2 stars is because it is the only one listed as "I have experienced better".

You know when you have an idea, but you push it too far, and the result goes over the excellence for becoming a "Meh".

The best meal I've had in a very long timeService, food, and view are all superbWe had the tasting menu and every dish was excellent.

Exceptional place where you have to reserve three months in advance. Fortunately we knew somebody who knew the big boss..so we got a table. This restaurant has been ranked first in the World by all the top International Chefs, so we expected to find something amazing, and this was really amazing. The setting of the restaurant is simple, but the view is fantastic. There is no menu, the waiters/Waitresses just bring dish after dish with a detailed explanation about each dish. Everything is bio and essentially grown in the restaurant gardens. The wine list is extensive and affordable. The service is outstanding. Perfect lunch. Of course it cost a lot of money, but if you cannot afford, do not try to get in.

My family and I had lunch at Mirazur in June. We had great expectations given its rating as a world’s best restaurant. The restaurant was very comfortable and inviting and the decor was aesthetically pleasing. The view was magnificent. The staff was attentive and accommodating. Great service. The food was all beautifully presented. But, in my humble opinion, most of the dishes lacked flavor. The ingredients of the dishes did not seem to work well together. It was so disappointing from a taste perspective. Unlike other Michelin-starred restaurants where the dishes exploded with flavor, I found that noticeably missing at Mirazur. I appreciate the restaurant’s commitment to aligning the menu with nature, but I wish they would have spent as much effort on making the food delicious. Whether eating at Mirazur is worth the price tag is a very personal decision. For me, it wasn’t and I regretted it.
