French restaurant run by Argentine chef crowned world's best

France's Mirazur restaurant - whose Argentine chef Mauro Colagreco draws inspiration from the sea, mountains and his own garden - was recently crowned the world's best by an influential trade list, beating contenders from Denmark and Spain.

The accolade came just months after Colagreco was awarded a third Michelin star and was the first time a French establishment has triumphed in the World's 50 Best Restaurant list.

"I'm on cloud nine, and I'm waiting to come back down," Colagreco said as he collected the award for his restaurant in the French Riviera town of Menton. "I don't have enough words to express my joy."
