THE WORLD'S third-best restaurant is set to open a pop-up version at a Madrid hotel this autumn, offering an identical menu to that of its main base.
Mirazur, run by celebrity chef Mauro Colagreco and based on France's chic Côte d'Azure, will be whipping up its most famous dishes at the NH Collection Eurobuilding hotel from November 12 to December 2 inclusive.
Given its top-three global rating, Mirazur's prices are beyond those of mere daily sustenance – at €210 for the chef's taster menu, rising to €300 with specially-selected wines for each course – but are not necessarily excessive for one-off special occasions when taking into account the quality of the dishes and ingredients.
Describing its wares as French and 'border' cuisine and using fresh, locally-produced ingredients, Mirazur is likely to be a magnet for foodies during its month in the Spanish capital.
Its decision to open a pop-up outside its national territory is one that is growing fast at the top end of the gourmet dining industry and has been fully embraced by the Spanish NH Hotels chain.
The company's #InResidence scheme aims to bring some of the best eateries on the planet to Spain's capital, and has already done so with Grant Achatz's Alinea restaurant and a series of Spanish celebrity chefs.
These, in recent months, have included Nacho Manzano, owner and founder of the two-Michelin-starred Restaurante Casa Marcial.
