What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Restaurant Centauro is widely praised for its creative and well-balanced dishes, with many highlighting the 8-course tasting menu as a standout experience. The service consistently receives high marks for its attentiveness and the sommelier's expertise. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few diners noted that some desserts could be improved, and one felt the atmosphere lacked a certain 'fancy' element.
"Excellent service and wonderful food. Had the 8 course set menu with wine pairings (perfectly explained by somelier Luciano) and spend 2 hours exploring the different textures created by the chef. My favorite was the trout as it had a perfect balance of sweet and savory notes, an excellent texture and looked simply stunning. On the other hand, the veal came with basically 'just peas' and was a little bit too cold (but very tender and flavorful)."

"I think it was our best food in Argentina (except of sous vide pork to be honest). Stylish and cosy. Superb service and fantastic sommelier, just speak to him to find the wine you prefer. Definitely highly recommended."
Inna Puchkina
"Very lovely experience dining here! Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Food was amazing! The Sommelier was also very kind and offered great recommendations for which wine would pair with our entrees. Also tried the mocktails which I would highly recommend."
