A clip of Reinventing Mirazur, the documentary film featuring chef Mauro Colagreco, has been released ahead its North American premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on 13 June.

The 98-minute movie highlights a transformative year in the life of Colagreco, who finds himself reassessing and reinventing his three-Michelin-starred Mirazur restaurant in Menton, France, from the ground up, after the COVID-19 pandemic halted progress at the restaurant's peak, as the Best Restaurant in the World.

 Take a look the clip below:

During the pandemic, Colagreco and his wife Julia, took the opportunity to totally reimagine the restaurant, not only a complete refurbishing on the inside, but also by reconnecting with nature outside the building, and effectively putting the restaurant's garden on the plate to create a totally new dining experience.

As much a gardener as a chef, Colagreco and his team immersed themselves in Mirazur’s hillside garden on the French Riviera overlooking the sea, learning how to maximise the optimum moment to plant and harvest fruits, vegetables and herbs. Mirazur's 'Lunar Menu' was born, inspired by the cycle of nature, and was divided into four offerings (root, leaf, flower and fruit) aligning with the cycle of the moon.

Reinventing Mirazur is produced by Frédiani, Ribière, Colagreco, Thomas Augsberger of L.A.-based Eden Rock Media and Front Berner’s Schuyler Ransohoff and Wes Fleuchaus. The film had its world premiere at the San Sebastian Film Festival last September.
