Mandala Club made headlines in April when it announced a highly coveted three-month residency by the number one restaurant on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list – three-Michelin-starred Mirazur from Menton, France. But what made chef-owner Mauro Colagreco swap views of the French Riviera for the ground floor of Mandala Club as he took over Restaurant Kin and Clan Cafe?
No doubt Singapore holds a special place in Colagreco’s heart, as it was here in 2019 that Mirazur was declared the best restaurant in the world. His residency not only cements Singapore’s ongoing status as a global hub for gastronomy but proves Singapore’s competitive edge in being able to provide top quality local ingredients, as well as procuring premium products from any part of the world.
Led by head chef Luca Mattioli, Colagreco’s team of twelve senior team members are no longer strangers to local wet markets and food institutions such as Tekka Market, Sia Huat and Chinatown Market. “Colagreco loves Singapore particularly for its cultural richness and diversity of products, and has great memories of everything from gastronomic restaurants to street food establishments. Every visit has been a real source of inspiration for him and his cuisine. Singapore and Southeast Asia offer many culinary products that cannot be found in Europe, so we are looking forward to incorporating Singapore’s local ingredients into our dishes and developing our menus with local influences,” says Mattioli.
