On the sun-drenched shores of Cap d’Antibes, a new culinary chapter is unfolding. Nestled in a peaceful Villa Miraé, Amarines by Mauro Colagreco brings the warmth, generosity, and rhythm of the Mediterranean to life.At its heart, Amarines is an ode to simplicity.
Mauro Colagreco, the Michelin-starred visionary whose name has become synonymous with sustainable gastronomy, channels his passion into celebrating what the land and sea provide. Every dish is rooted in respect—for the local terroir, the turning of the seasons, and the essence of the Riviera itself. What emerges is not merely a meal, but an experience of connection: between chef and guest, between nature and plate, between the moment and the memory it creates.
The Vision of Mauro Colagreco
An Argentine by birth and Mediterranean by spirit, Mauro Colagreco has long been admired for his pioneering approach to cuisine. His flagship restaurant, Mirazur in Menton, holds three Michelin stars and was ranked the best restaurant in the world, a recognition of his deep commitment to creativity and sustainability.
Colagreco is a chef who looks beyond the plate, championing biodiversity, ethical fishing, and organic farming. At Amarines, he extends this philosophy with a more relaxed expression, one that distills his artistry into something approachable, joyful, and deeply connected to the Riviera’s natural abundance.
A Menu Shaped by the Mediterranean
At Amarines, the menu is a poetic reflection of the landscape that surrounds it—its lush gardens, its endless azure horizon, and the untamed spirit of the Riviera. Mauro Colagreco and his team guide guests on a sensory journey that shifts with the rhythm of the seasons, the daily catch, and the freshest produce from local farmers.
Two tasting paths invite discovery. The Rivages menu (4 courses) offers a sun-kissed embrace of the Mediterranean, beginning with delicate San Remo gamberoni carpaccio and flowing through handmade gnocchi with Provençal flavors, before culminating in either wild Mediterranean fish or herb-roasted lamb.
The Horizons menu (6 courses) ventures further, showcasing tomatoes infused with sea parsley, a saffron-scented Camargue seashell ragoût, and Corsican tiger veal paired with apricot and chanterelles. To close, inventive desserts—like calisson-inspired floating islands—celebrate the Riviera’s sweetness, making every bite a tribute to nature’s bounty and Colagreco’s creativity.
Dining Under the Stars
While the kitchen may be the soul of Amarines, the terrace is undoubtedly its heart. Set beneath a canopy of towering trees, their branches strung with delicate lights, the open-air dining space is nothing short of magical. Here, guests linger as the day fades, basking in the golden glow of twilight. The rustle of leaves, the fragrance of the evening air, and the gentle warmth of the Riviera combine to create an atmosphere that feels at once intimate and expansive.
It is, quite simply, one of the most romantic settings on the French Riviera—a place where conversation flows as freely as the wine, and where each shared plate becomes part of a larger story of joy and discovery.
Villa Miraé: A Setting of Serenity
The choice of Villa Miraé as home to Amarines is no coincidence. This five-star property, part of the Inwood Hotels collection and a proud member of Relais & Châteaux, embodies the same poetic elegance that defines the restaurant. With its Mediterranean gardens, its graceful architecture, and its location between pine groves caressed by sea breezes, the villa offers a backdrop that elevates every moment.
A New Gastronomic Landmark
Amarines by Mauro Colagreco is more than a fine dining restaurant—it is a testament to living fully in harmony with one’s surroundings. By embracing the essential, Colagreco has created a culinary refuge where sophistication never eclipses sincerity. Guests are invited to savor, to share, to be surprised, and above all, to feel connected—to nature, to each other, and to the beauty of Cap d’Antibes. With Amarines, the Riviera gains a new gastronomic destination. One that promises not just exceptional cuisine, but a reminder of how extraordinary simplicity can be when crafted with heart.
