Their award includes a three-month internship at Mauro Colagreco’s three-star restaurant Mirazur in France and a cash prize of 3 million Argentine pesos. The win was positioned as a showcase for sustainable seafood and Argentine marine products. A week later, on 30 July, the competition disclosed the three finalists for its eighth edition: Anna Restaurante de Campo in Chaco, Alcanfor in Buenos Aires, and Crujiente in Ushuaia.
