High-gastronomy tasting menus with regional ingredients
"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
"The core principle behind this restaurant is a love for its region and its products and ingredients. Occupying an attractively fronted old mansion that was once a small hotel, this converted property now features a cocktail bar, a space transformed into a wine cellar, and several contemporary-style dining rooms occupying the former guestrooms (part of the kitchen is visible from one of these). The modern cooking here is showcased in well-constructed dishes that are featured on two menus (4 or 6 courses, including wine pairings) which champion sustainable and organic ingredients and products (including many native varieties) from the Mendoza region, with a strong commitment to provenance and to small-scale producers. The somewhat surprising names of the dishes here (the Queen of Fantasy, Autumn Foam, Bloom, Enchantment etc) are an invitation to head off on a gastronomic flight of fancy!" - Michelin Inspector
