Mauro Colagreco, the Argentine chef renowned for his 3-star restaurant Mirazur on the Côte d’Azur, has secured a Michelin star for the K at the legendary Kulm Hotel St. Moritz, just six weeks after the restaurant opened on 22 December, one of the fastest stars in the Guide’s history.
Mauro Colagreco, whose cuisine is inspired by his roots, his travels and the nature that surrounds him, has created a style of his own that focuses on a personal interpretation of the ingredients and spectacular flavour combinations. Colagreco is personally present at the Kulm Hotel on certain dates, otherwise his Chef de Cuisine Paloma Boitier is in charge of the kitchen. The 26-year-old Boitier is a fellow Argentine who has been working at Mirazur for close to five years – and is now one of the youngest female chefs to have helped secure a Michelin star.
Colagreco’s food philosophy is all about freshness, simplicity, balance of colour and bringing out authentic flavours. One of his star ingredients is lemon, which makes anchovy fillets set on fried anchovy skeletons pop and sing, while “Luxus beta vulgaris” is a signature dish that combines the everyday (salt encrusted beetroot) with the ultimate luxury (Oscietre caviar cream).
The K by Mauro Colagreco is open for dinner only, from 19:00 to 21:30 hours, Tuesday to Saturday inclusive, until 13 March. Reservations for the K by Mauro Colagreco can be made by emailing fb@kulm.com.
