Where to eat in Mendoza: 10 new restaurants in the province
If you're exploring Parque San Martín, one of Mendoza's most beautiful green lungs, there's a well-kept secret worth discovering: Gardenia at Hábitat. Located on the terrace of Hábitat, inside the historic Prado Español, this restaurant is a gastronomic jewel with privileged views and a surprising menu.
Chef Gine Mazzocca leads the kitchen with technique and creativity, offering fresh brunches, sophisticated dinners, and small plates to share. The flavors are both intense and delicate, with options like Thai prawn curry with basmati rice and basil, though the menu changes with the season. All accompanied by natural wines, bold cocktails, and an atmosphere that invites lingering. Open Wednesdays to Saturdays at lunchtime.
Tip: Don't miss their signature dish, the most ordered by everyone—the famous pumpkin arancini with cheese cream and herb oil. We recommend pairing it with a Sauvignon Blanc from their interesting selection of signature wines.
