Masters of Marriott, in association with Culinary Culture, India’s largest food platform, will host a decadent culinary experience with Italian-Argentinian chef Mauro Colagreco from the restaurant Mirazur, in the city of Mumbai.
Mirazur, located in Menton in France, was voted as 2019's World's Best Restaurant, and has earned three Michelin stars, the culinary world's highest honour.
Colagreco will curate two special dinners at The St Regis, Mumbai, on March 6 and 7, 2020. The menu will comprise a nine-course gastronomic experience featuring his signature dishes, such as Fish Lotus, Goat Cheese Ravioli, and smoked eel and caviar tartlet, amongst others.
He will also debut a very exclusive dish inspired by India, using locally-sourced ingredients and Indian cooking techniques for its preparation.
Known as the world’s greatest contemporary chef, Colagreco draws his inspiration from the beauty of land around him, growing his own vegetables and working with local producers to source ingredients; making every dish on the Mirazur menu sublime, with the original taste of the products captured in all their natural beauty.
The chef, who will be accompanied by a team from Mirazur, will also take part in a special interaction hosted by Culinary Culture and Masters of Marriott, where he will be in conversation with veteran journalist and food connoisseur Vir Sanghvi, who is also co-founder and chairman, Culinary Culture, on March 6, 2020.
Talking about the upcoming exclusive dining experience, Colagreco said, “I feel very honoured to be coming to Mumbai to cook. India has always been a very special destination for me, with the diversity of its cuisine and products, the richness of its culture, the kindness of its people. I feel happy to be able to share my cuisine with such an exciting culture. Thank you all for welcoming me.”
Commenting on the association with the chef, Neeraj Govil, senior vice-president, Marriott International, South Asia, said, “We are delighted to welcome the immensely talented and world-renowned chef Colagreco from Mirazur, the world’s best restaurant, through Masters of Marriott, on his maiden visit to India.”
“As a front-runner in the F&B space, Masters of Marriott secures our expertise and prominence in the art of elevated dining experiences. This association marks the start to several exciting culinary and customer experiences we have planned for the year,” he added.
Talking about the event, Sanghvi said, “Culinary Culture is the biggest, most comprehensive venture launched in the food space in the history of India. It will cover everything from the world’s best chefs to the superlative chaatwallahs of India. We welcome Colagreco and the Mirazur team to Mumbai. This is just the beginning, stay tuned for further announcements.”
Both dinners will be interactive events allowing guests with plenty of opportunity to speak with the world’s number one chef. A limited number of seats will be open to Indian food lovers to attend this exclusive experience on March 7. Seats are priced at Rs. 30,000 (all inclusive) per person and are fast-filling. Guests can reserve their experience by either contacting The St. Regis Mumbai or via the insider.in portal.
With a huge focus on growing its F&B reputation in the country, Marriott International, Inc launched Masters of Marriott last year. This initiative allows Marriott’s talented culinary experts to share kitchens with globally-renowned chefs and provide guests and culinary enthusiasts with an array of enriching moments.
The Masters of Marriott initiative has previously hosted legendary chefs such as Marco Pierre White, Heston Blumenthal and Julien Royer in India.
After a successful collaboration with Colagreco for the fourth installment of Masters of Marriott, the brand will continue to host such exclusive experiences for its guests, including ticketed events, masterclasses and meet-and-greets with globally-renowned culinary experts in the coming months. Marriott International looks at maintaining F&B as its driving focus for the year.
Culinary Culture as a platform encompasses all aspects of the food space in India. Founded by Sanghvi and Sameer Sain, co-founder, Everstone Group, along with celebrated Indian chef Gaggan Anand as company’s mentor, the platform will rate restaurants in an objective, unbiased manner, recognise achievers in the industry and organise knowledge exchange sessions with globally-acclaimed chefs.
Besides recognising and rewarding India’s best chefs and street food vendors, it also organises global culinary exchanges, bringing the world’s greatest chefs to cook in India and sending Indian chefs to cook at the best restaurants in the world.
The platform has previously hosted events with the likes of Manish Mehrotra, Vineet Bhatia, Asma Khan, Rohit Ghai and Spain’s three-time Michelin-starred chef Dani Garcia.
