With its latest addition, Le Mirage, La Mirande is exploring the trend of fooding. The name is a contraction of Mirande and garage, the later once a cardinal’s state room which was used to house carriages in the 19th and motorcars in the 20th century. Together with the adjacent vaulted stalls there is plenty of space for social distancing. And there is a stunning view of the period kitchen where the food is prepared. A permanent exhibition of paintings by american artist, Timothy Hennessy, contributes to the offbeat ambiance within the medieval walls.

Jeff Mouroux, chef de cuisine

After getting a HND in hotel and restaurant management, Jeff Mouroux quickly specialized in pastry making. He worked in restaurants and boutique pastry shops, with great chefs such as Pierre Gagnaire, Christophe Pelé and the Fauchon house. Curious about new flavors, he traveled a lot for pleasure and work, Japan, Australia, Indonesia, Mexico, West Indies ...

Gradually, he returned to the kitchen by joining the Table Haute de la Mirande in 2018. Jeff brilliantly masters a cuisine that respects local, fresh and seasonal products and places particular importance on working with textures and temperatures. He likes to introduce new flavors by using seasoning and spices that he integrates into his cooking on a daily basis.
