Mirazur on the French Riviera has come out on top in the annual competition organized by the World's 50 Best Restaurants Awards. Run by Argentinian chef Mauro Colagreco, the restaurant has some excellent dishes, including pickled beets with caviar sorbet.
According to the award, Mirazur offers "the ultimate restaurant experience." It is particularly impressed by its "unparalleled French Riviera setting, three-story vegetable garden providing the freshest ingredients, and talented chefs and attentive wait staff."

The World's 50 Best Restaurants award, published by British magazine William Reed Business Media, is now seen as a rival to the prestigious Michelin stars. However, some experts still question the award's evaluation method, as it is based on an anonymous poll of culinary experts around the world but the evaluation criteria are not clearly defined.
This year, the rules have also been changed to remove the names of restaurants that have previously topped the list.
