i. Biography
The Climb
Formal training at Milan’s leading culinary school in 2009 gave Davide Garavaglia the base before service in kitchens tied to distinct European registers: D’O under Chef Davide Oldani from 2009, Sketch under Chef Pierre Gagnaire from 2013, and Mirazur in France as sous chef from 2015. Côte by Mauro Colagreco has been the current working site since 2020, with Garavaglia serving as Chef de Cuisine.
The Work Today
Mediterranean and Modern Cuisine define the frame at Côte by Mauro Colagreco in Bangkok, Thailand, where Garavaglia works as Chef de Cuisine. The kitchen interprets Colagreco’s Riviera-to-River concept through Mediterranean flavours, French and Italian influences, ancient Thai culinary traditions, and local ingredients such as ginger and lemongrass. The restaurant’s cooking is built around clean, contemporary reworkings of classic Riviera dishes. Its practical discipline is ingredient clarity: coastline and river, Europe and Thailand, held together without obscuring the materials in front of the kitchen. Multi-course menu structure is central to the restaurant’s service, including a nine-dish carte blanche surprise meal. In 2024, MICHELIN identified Red Cliff Creation as Garavaglia’s signature dish, attaching a named plate to the Bangkok work that now defines his public identity as a chef.
