Let me start by saying that I savored every bite that I put into my mouth at the Gaucho. That alone is worth 5 stars. The chateubriand ordered medium rare was spot on but remember that as beef sits, it may just get a tiny bit more cooked. The spinach was savory, the cooked bib lettuce was awesome, and the side salad was excellent. The "mess dessert" was mouth watering accompanied by the cappuccino and the carmel cheesecake was the best ever. The wait staff attentive. read more

5 stars isn't enough to rate Gaucho! My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful meal there after the new year , luckily were able to get a reservation but we almost weren't able to get it. I highly recommend the beef empanadas, we also had the beef tartar and the filet of beef! Absolutely delicious everything is great! read more

Decent steak house with a very nice ambiance. The dining area is absolutely beautiful, but the steaks were very mediocre. Service was good and empanadas were a good starter. read more

Great venue. Beautifully done. Wonderful service. Worst steaks I have ever eaten. We had the sampler. Most expensive on the menu. From first bite absolutely COLD. Terrible. Zero warmth. None! I never send food back so we ate cold left over steak. A total waste of money and time. If I come back to Edinburgh I will stay as far away from this place as I can except to perhaps have a drink. Those were great. I simply cannot tell you what a grave disappointment this was. There was a huge group of obviously more important people than is in thier "wine room" and they got all the attention and I am guessing all the properly warm steaks. Ours were terrible. Sad since it is a very warm space. Good servers. Nice drinks. Terrible food. I am leading a group with 37 people and send many others here. This will no longer be on our list read more

Now as a lifelong vegetarian, you may wonder why I rate Gaucho, well they have a splendid veggie selection. I was impressed that the sommelier knew which wines were veggie friendly and when they bring the tray of meat cuts to the table to talk through options, they first asked me if it was ok, which was appreciated. There is a private dining room which looks gorgeous and the decor is pretty lovely. Price wise, a little expensive and a treat. read more

very nice restaurant, the service impeccable we ordered a fillet and a sirloin, I was disappointed with the fillet. I tried my wife's and her sirloin was delicious. A for effort but that fillet was neither soft or well cooked. I can take raw but at least the quality needs to be what I paid for. read more

Five adults eating for dinner at Gaucho last night. Overall, a wonderful experience. A beautiful restaurant with a lovely atmosphere and good vibe. The drinks were wonderful... From whiskey, to specialty drinks, to carafes of red and white wine. Our service was rated a 4 out of 5. Our server was attentive and fairly good, but few things were forgotten and we had to keep asking for water, side dishes that didn't arrive, and a few other reminders. The appetizers, burrata and empanadas, were very tasty and started the meal off the right way. The steaks were all incredible. One person said it was the best steak they've ever had. We had ribeyes, the tira de ancho, and the whole sea bass. All cooked incredibly well and seasoned. Delicious. However, not one person liked any of the various side dishes. We had creamy mash that wasn't very creamy, but dry and tasteless. Really bad. Surprising in the UK when it is such a staple. The truffle mac & cheese was not good, and the steamed broccoli was not cooked right. Overall, very disappointed in the side dishes. They should do better for such a nice restaurant. The desserts that we chose were the brownie and the whipped ice cream (or something). Both were very tasty. Overall, a wonderful experience. Great booth table for five. I'd go back, but I would probably reconsider the side dishes even if it came with a steak. read more

This was an excellent choice, we came in last minute as we just arrived in Edinburgh. The service was excellent, and the food was amazing! This is was by far the best food we had so far in our trip to Europe. Definitely recommend this place. We went with suggestions from the waiter, and it did not disappoint. read more
