It is always with great modesty that the Mons chef of Villa Mirasol Philippe Lagraula talks about his cuisine, he who, in 2006, already won his first Michelin star, thus becoming the youngest starred chef in France with his restaurant. A kitchen in town in Dax on his native land. On the other hand, it is with malicious pleasure that he highlights his team made up of professionals from all over the world. It must be said that he does not hide his love of travel and Latin America which makes his cuisine a colorful mixed cuisine, far from displeasing customers who ask for more. It is therefore from Romina Barrios that he comes accompanied on France Bleu Gascogne for the unmissable meeting of epicureans Blue Circuit Side Flavors. Romina, the Villa’s pastry chef since September, who has just arrived from Uruguay and who enjoys working in France, the country of haute cuisine. A dream opportunity for this thirty-year-old who did not hesitate to leave her country.
