The world changed when the three tenors of the 20th century - Luciano Pavarotti, José Cabreras and Placido Domingo - sang together. Millions of fans were able to bask in the magic made possible by cable TV. The scope of this kind of happening is a bit more limited in a restaurant due to obvious physical restrictions - a restaurant, even Mirazur in Menton in the South of France, can only seat so many diners at one time and it would be impossible to produce millions of dishes exquisitely paired with wines in the span of time a concert would last. Besides , and hopefully not, it is impossible to play back a meal.
So when three chefs (8 Michelin stars) who made the list of the 50 best restaurants in the world - Mauro Colagreco of Mirazur in Menton, France, 2 stars Michelin and 28th placement on the cart of the 50 best restaurants in the world, Massimo Bottura, of L'Osteria Franscana in Modena, Italy, 3 Michelin stars and 3rd placement and Quique Dacosta of Restaurant Quique Dacosta in Dénia, Spain, 3 Michelin stars and 26th place - get together on June 18th at the 2 stars Michelint Mirazur, the lucky few who will pay EUROS 250 for a multi-course dinner prepared by the three chefs ( + Champagne bollinger grande année 2004) will get the experience of a lifetime.
I hope you make it.... If not, The Mirazur is open from Wednesday to Sunday for lunch and dinner with different prix-fixe menus.
