Very nice elegant restaurant right in the city center of Liverpool. The restaurant hall is quite…read morelarge, and ceilings are quite high, which means it's not too noisy and great for acoustics if there is a band playing (like it was the evening we were there). The menu is quite extensive, on top of that they are very happy to show you the meat cuts on a small table that is wheeled right to your table. We thoroughly enjoyed starters, mains and dessert. Our waiter was very friendly and happy to advise and check our questions about food with the chef if he didn't know the answer. The food was just heavenly! I would love to come back.

I called at Gaucho to make the most of the Eat Out Help Out Offer in which they are participating,…read morewhich gives 50% off food up to £10 per person during the month of August between Monday to Wednesday as part of a government scheme to aid recovery after the COVID-19 Pandemic. Generally, you can save 25% off food with Gourmet Society membership but this offer takes it further. Inside, the decor is fantastic being set in an old Methodist Church just off Deansgate, accessed via a ramp with a very steep gradient or a large step. The inside area is a stunning old building, decorated with cow print. The cocktail menu was rather expensive, they also didn't have anything basic and seemed to have weird, wacky cocktails which I really didn't fancy, standard spirits and mixers were also rather expensive too. I didn't end up going for a cocktail in the end - one of the best places in the city for a cocktail has to be the Hard Rock Cafe, a 70cl cocktail and a collectable glass for under £13 meant I'd head thereafter for some booze before heading home - the selection here didn't cut it for me. Although known for their steak offerings, I opted for the Spatchcock Chicken. I did enjoy the flavours of the chicken although the leg piece didn't have a lot of meat on, I really enjoyed the breast part - I just wish it would have been more breast. The flavours, spices and sauces were good but I still think it didn't represent value for money at all, this dish alone was £18 without any sides! For sides, I decided to opt for chips/fries, at £5 a portion I expected them to be good, but they just weren't. I found them to be poorly seasoned as well as a little overcooked and soggy, for such a price you'd expect them to be good, fresh chips when in all honestly I've pulled out better fries from my freezer at a fraction of the cost, this meant although I did enjoy a half of my chicken, it didn't cut it as nothing went with it. Considering they only have one lot of chips, there's nothing which would go with steak either, who wants steak and mash? All the staff seemed friendly, with the exception of my waitress who seemed more like an angry mother, who seemed to treat me and my party like a child, for example forcing us to use the menu as a placemat for our food. I also found it a shame to see they were unable to adapt dishes, now this is fine dining, a high-end place with mains costing at least £18 and some items going up towards the £100 mark, a place like this being unable to adapt dishes is truly dissapointing especially for the price mark, they were unable to remove sauces etc as it came "pre-marinated" in many cases. My server also seemed a little rude and easily confused, for example, she couldn't understand when my friend ordered a starter as a main course which was down to the fact he didn't want anything with spices on, as every dish came pre-marinated other than the steak. She did get there in the end, but even that was a struggle. There was also a long wait for food, it at one point felt like I'd never get my food which was quite frustrating as well. They didn't seem overly busy and it didn't seem like anything the large open kitchen couldn't handle either. They do have gluten-free labelled on the menu and do have a few choices, sadly their gluten-free bread is seeded bread which I hate (I wish everywhere didn't put seeds in bread as it ruins it!), also there were no gluten-free starters on the menu which again was dissapointing. Do bear in mind also that this place has a rather high service-charge at 12.5% regardless of how many people are dining, this is also applied before any discounts so even though our group of 3 saved £10 per person, this amount was also subject to the service charge, so that alone worked out close to £9. Considering the long wait for food and the attitude of my server, I don't understand the justification behind that by any means. A high-end place which doesn't live up to the price tag, some good flavours in the chicken and nice decor warrant an extra star but I won't be rushing back to this place. 2*

It may surprise you but I used to be a vegan. Stop laughing…read more I spent my Uni years harbouring the false belief that I could put right all my hardcore partying at a physiological level by eating nothing but vegetables, pulses and grains. This went well for the first few months and I may well have been the healthiest (and sadly also windiest) party poppet that Leeds has ever seen. Then came the day I made a devastating discovery. Monster Munch are vegan. And that was that. All healthy home-cooked vegan feasts were immediately eschewed for a diet of nought but variously flavoured Monster Munch dipped in hummus. Eating nothing but crisps and mashed chick peas for 3 years is not something I'd recommend. Then one day I cracked. Sliding down Briggate on a wave of vitamin starved misfiring synapses I found myself stood outside Burger King foaming at the mouth and stamping my feet like a nervous horse bound for Tesco. No less than 4 Rodeo Burgers later I was forced, due to digestive 'unpleasantness', to spend the rest of the week in bed with a bucket. So you'd think I'd learn wouldn't you? But no. I dumped my hippy treads and embarked on a new career as eater of all things living and dead, there is ne'er a creature walking this earth that I will not willingly pounce upon for an appreciative nibble and the mighty steakhouse is my new Jerusalem. So it was no real surprise that for Valentine's Day my boyfriend took me the most direct route twixt living cow and my eager gullet. Gaucho is impossibly slick. I rather suspect the staff have been augmented with some sort of biological hovercraft system, they seem to float toward you beaming smiles of perfect professionalism out of their inhumanly white and even dentition. This is by no means a cheap night but bar the rather overpriced wines you get what you pay for- delicious and serious cocktails delivering a multitude of clearly distinguishable flavours, succulent and perfectly cooked steaks with tasty and interesting side dishes, a cheese board that would cause a cardiac in even your most experienced mouse affineur and the opportunity to sit back and giggle at the very serious clientele with their 6" inch heels, frozen faces and identikit figures as they struggle to understand their footballer boyfriend's monosyllabic conversation whilst nibbling a single chip. Arf! Silly tarts! I would agree that the music loses Gaucho a star, I know it's a la mode in Brentwood to drown out the mindless verbal diarrhoea of your braindead dining companion with thumping techno in even the most sedate restaurant environment but this is Yorkshire and occasionally people have something interesting to say. Well some of us do. Not too sure about tables 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12 ,14 and 20.....THUMP THUMP THUMP (pause) "...but then I said 'yeah' and she said 'yeah but no', know what I mean?"...THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP The food at Gaucho was utterly delicious, the service impeccable and the surroundings stylish considering how many cows were flayed to achieve it. Put simply, if you want to impress then this is a great place to take a date....if you know your date well and want to stuff her full of meat, herby chips and booze until she doesn't know what's what then take her to Fazenda.

Let's first caveat this then - I love steak. And I love red wine. And I love both at the same time…read moreeven more than on their own. Gaucho then... If I were a religious man and believed in the pearly gates and flocks of angels, then Gaucho would be the place that sat just beyond the fence and was populated by cherub faced waiting staff. Gaucho isn't a restaurant, it's an experience... should you manage to find the stairs that lead down to the basement on Park Row, you'll be confronted by surroundings that no place in Leeds really comes close to. And it's not going to be everyones cup of tea of course. The hidden little corners and booths, the cow clad seating, the near darkness that can make it hard to navigate, the chandeliers that seem to give off lumens at a fraction of what you would expect for their size... Garish? Over the top? Slightly eccentric? Maybe. As I say, it's not RBG, it's not Blackhouse, it's not Piccolino... It's special. And that special runs through everything about the place - from the decor, to the staff, to the meat, to the wine, to the... everything. Make sure you reserve your table in advance and once you've been there a few times this will pay off with their diner notes ensuring that your waiting staff know exactly what wine you like, exactly how you want your steak cooked, exactly which starter you always have. Because lets face it unless you're going to a restaurant every week it's really hard to do that kind of thing for the staff (to look like they know you that is, to treat you special), but Gaucho does it brilliantly - part of doing this is their diner notes, and part of this is their absolutely brilliant staff. From the second you enter the door and have your coat put into the cloakroom, to sitting at the bar, to being seated at your table, to being shown the meat board, to your wine arriving, and ... well you get the picture, the staff at Gaucho are second to none in my opinion. No request is too small, as they're happy to cater for most every whim you might have with regard your visit. But the food and wine you say? With a wine list that runs into the hundreds at price points from £20 up to £200 and beyond, in all the colours that you're expect from an Argentine restaurant, if you can't find something you like then you probably don't like wine... But if you can't find anything you like and you're lucky enough to be visiting on one of the nights that Phil Crozier, Gaucho's Chief Sommelier and Wine Buyer/Creator is on the premises, then the chances are he'll be able to find you a gem! The food then... Did I mention the meat board? That's where the amazing waiting staff come around at the start of your meal and show you different cuts and sizes of the meat that you could be eating if you're lucky... If you're new to Gaucho, definitely ask to see it... The dead cow wants you to admire it! So, the sausage platter is £20 - which is a lot of cash for a starter. And it's only made up of 5 sausages and a red pepper. And is THE BEST STARTER in Leeds, if not the UK, if not the WORLD. If you manage to not order 2 of these and actually choose to have a steak for your main course, then there are all the choices you would expect - rump, sirloin, fillet and rib-eye - albeit all with their Argentine name... and so long as you don't want one of their marinated options (which you should totally go for) they're available from 200g all the way up to 2kg... and no matter what your preference for cut and size you better believe that the guys and girls behind the grill there, they're half angel, half demon and will create you something that tastes beyond what you thought possible. The first time I ever went to Gaucho I made the mistake of asking for a steak knife... I'd ordered a chateaubriand and thought it might need more than the butter knife that i had... when meat based perfection arrived I almost laughed at myself for ever having asked the question. All of this of course can come at a price and if you want to you can spend many a hundred of pounds there - but equally if you're on a budget you can get two steaks along with a potato based side, steak sauce and a shared bottle of wine for £80... Which again isn't the cheapest, but without a doubt the experience that is Gaucho is worth it. When I die, I want to go to Gaucho.
