Frequently Asked Questions
CONCEPT & EXPERIENCE
What is the Centauro experience?
Centauro is a restaurant where the question is the starting point. Every dish is born from a curiosity: Is it possible to have a fish ice cream? Can you eat a cloud? How much personality can fit in a vegetable? The menu doesn't offer predictable answers — it invites you to explore flavours that challenge what you know.
What does "Cooking Questions" mean?
It is our method: every dish is born from a question. Sometimes absurd, sometimes uncomfortable, but it always leads us somewhere new. The questions appear in the menu and are shared by the team at the table.
What type of cuisine is served at the restaurant?
Centauro's cuisine is built on innovation. Every dish is born from a question with no obvious answer. If you're visiting Mendoza, the idea is that you can explore unexpected flavours, combinations that challenge the familiar, and gastronomic proposals you won't find anywhere else.
Do the dishes change frequently?
Yes. The menu evolves according to new questions, seasonal ingredients and experiments by the kitchen team. Each visit can be a different experience.
Does Centauro have any gastronomic recognition?
Yes. Centauro was selected by the Michelin Guide in 2024 and 2025, a recognition of the creative proposal and the team's work.
Does the restaurant offer delivery or takeaway?
No. The Centauro experience is the establishment itself.
