DINING DELICIOUS By Rafa Carvajal VILLA AZUR FRENCH MEDITERRANEAN CUISINE IN EUROPEAN ELEGANCE

illa Azur Restaurant & Lounge offers delicious French Mediterranean cuisine in a beautiful restaurant setting that will remind you of an elegant French villa – including a courtyard perfect for dining under the stars. I recently visited Villa Azur for a lovely dinner al fresco during a cool Miami night. The food was excellent and dining in their courtyard made for a very memorable culinary experience.

After my dinner, I sat down with Executive Chef Philippe Ruiz to learn more about Villa Azur, and the mouth-watering marriage of classic and modern cuisine in a European elegance setting reminisce of a grand French Villa.

Rafa Carvajal: Describe the cuisine at Villa Azur for our readers who enjoy dining out. Executive Chef Philippe Ruiz: Villa Azur is a French Mediterranean restaurant. I strive to marry both classic and modern cuisine, working mainly on the alliance of flavors and textures.

RC: What differentiates Villa Azur from other fine dining establishments in Miami Beach? PR: Upon entering into Villa Azur, you are trans- ported to a world of European elegance, like stepping into a grand French Villa. This stunning backdrop cannot be found in any of Miami's restaurants and that sets the tone for a charming dining experience.

RC: Describe Villa Azur in 3 words. PR: Relish, elegant and sultry.

RC: What do you think guests enjoy the most about dining at Villa Azur? PR: The unique convergence of French modern cuisine, romantic design and exclusive musical and art talent collaborations across numerous genres that creates a restaurant and lounge con- cept where the setting has something for every-

one. From an intimate and romantic environment OF VILLA AZUR PHOTOS COURTESY to the ideal venue to keep guests dancing late into the night, guests love the versatility of our venue.

8 WIREMAG.COM #12 2018 RC: What are the three most popular dishes with diners at Villa Azur? PR: The Provencal Octopus (pan seared octopus, fingerling potatoes, parsley, capers, cherry tomatoes, garlic, taggiasca olives and basil); the Ravioles (french raviole de Romans, truffle sauce, truffle carpaccio); and the Snapper (whole roasted snapper, lemon, thyme, crispy parsley and roasted tomato).

RC: Why do you think diners love those dishes the most? PR: Patrons like those dishes because each one has multiple flavors. They bring an abundance of taste and texture to the palate, and are always highlighted in the feedback from our guests.

RC: What are your personal top 3 favorite dishes at Villa Azur? Why? PR: 1) The Colorado Lamb Chop (lamb chop, apricot sauce, caramelized carrots, mashed french peas, mint and almonds) because I love the combination of the sweet and sour, and I adore meat. 2) The Scallops (pan seared scallops, chorizo crust, sautéed zucchini and mus- sels). I like the combinations here – the seafood and the chorizo make it an intense dish. 3) The Baby Artichoke Carpaccio (baby artichokes, parmigiano, baby arugula and lemon dressing) because I like simplicity.
