"Centauro helped build up the downtown dining scene when it opened in 2023 in a rambling former home. There, a team of young chefs turns out innovative dishes using regional ingredients, such as silky mushroom pate with kimchi and lemon made with mushrooms grown on site. Vegetables play a major role, but meat dishes are handled deftly as well. There are two tasting menus, as well as an a la carte menu, and an eclectic wine list, but don’t miss the creative cocktails built around ingredients like walnuts, butter, and carob." - Karen Catchpole
