I picked this restaurant because they had a Garden Menu special that provided some tasty options. My table was outside with a view of pedestrians walking to and fro. I ordered The Highlander (Woodford Reserve Bourbon, Tio Pepe Sherry, Roots Diktarmo, Cherry & Vanilla) cocktail to enjoy while I waited for my meal. This was a very smooth drink. They were offering a complimentary Beef-Fat Washed Old Fashioned (Woodford Reserve Bourbon Old Fashioned with the bourbon infused with nuts and umami-packed beef fat) to Dads. Unfortunately the nut infusion precluded me from trying it. I had a complimentary Old Fashioned instead. It was just as good as The Highlander. My meal consisted of Beef Carpaccio and Steak Salad. The carpaccio was razor thin. Both dishes were delicious. I closed out the meal with the Chocolate Sorbet. This was one of the best meals I had in London on this trip. If you are on a schedule, make sure to let your server know in advance. Otherwise, their leisurely serving pace might stress you out. read more

Excellent experience from start to finish. The food was outstanding--top-quality steaks that were incredibly tender and juicy. The atmosphere was very pleasant, making it a great place to enjoy a nice meal. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive, and we were seated quickly even without a reservation. Overall, a very good experience. Highly recommend the croquettes as a starter--they were delicious. read more

I visited with a group for dinner before a theatre show. We were given a three course price fix pre-show menu from which to choose. We had three selections for each course plus our choice of red or white wine, beer or a soda. The restaurant is nicely decorated with cow hide walls bubble lighting and other compliments. The restaurant was clean, well staffed. It was quiet when we arrived and as other tables were occupied the ambience was calm and romantic. Everyone enjoyed their meal selections. I had the beetroot salad which was fresh and delicious. A nasturtium leaf added to the salad was fresh and peppery. I thought the steak was a bit over done for my liking and that they could have been a little more generous with the portion of steak that was served. The chimichanga was delicious. Overall this was a good experience. read more

Excellent Argentinian steak house located a stones throw from Her Majesty's Theatre. The inside has a few floors and can accommodate large groups . I had Ancho Ribeye topped with Chimichurri sauce . Quite a full bodied flavor all 300g and I ate every bit of it ! The tomato salad was a nice accompaniment as well as the chips with thyme salt . I also had my new favorite drink - Lychee Blush ( Tanqueray gin , lychee, lemon juice, rhubarb and Peychaud One thing that most steak houses do is charge extra for a bread basket. For me this is not a big deal if I feel like having a slice of bread or a roll I will pay as it is normal at many steak restaurants. The waiter was very attentive, and I can't say enough about the entire dining experience. read more

Good experience but considering the price and perception, expected better. Great atmosphere and service, has a small bar on the side should you arrive early. To start, had a steak tartar. This was fantastic, expected food to get better from here. For steak, got large sharing portions of the lomo and ancho, which were described as the fillet and ribeye equivalents. Lomo was far better tasting than the ancho, which didn't have great texture or taste. Both were medium rare but had rested for far too long. Bit cold by the time it hit the table. Chimichurri what saved the steaks. Got sides of chips, spinach, and mushrooms. All were a bit cold and quite underwhelming. Wouldn't recommend any of them. Spinach and mushrooms were bland (and cold), chips were barely salted (and cold). Got wind and cocktails, nothing to complain about there. Wouldn't come back. read more

Gaucho has a warm ambience and the food is amazing! Staff provide excellent customer service and my server Diego was fabulous! The watermelon Americano non-alcoholic cocktail is a sweet treat. I definitely recommend the baby gem salad, Americano burger and mac & cheese. Delissshh! read more

The flagship Gaucho as I see it. Impeccable service. They really can't do enough for you, but aren't buzzing around you. They appear when needed like magicians. The food is consistently excellent. I've never had a bad meal here. Steak is stunning There's seating outside downstairs at street level and also a small roof enclosure upstairs. The decor is the standard Gaucho signature dark and animal skin. Love this place, not pretentious at all, and every single visit it is on point! read more

When it comes to Argentinian cuisine I set my bar high. The restaurant was good not great. Nothing about it left me dying to come back. Steak was good not great. They offered a blue cheese and a hollandaise, neither of which spoke to me. Potatoes and salads were nice. Had a big group which they accommodated. Service was good. read more

Ribeye was tasty but sides very poor given the price. Stars off for the service though which was surprisingly inattentive and lacking for such a renowned steakhouse - server was bouncing around 5 or 6 tables and we felt like we were an annoyance almost. Absolutely did not feel welcome and not what I expect for the price. I've seen other reviews here mentioning the rushed service so clearly something you guys need to fix. The decor is also dark, outdated and needs a complete refresh- feels like a cheap Miami club. Left regretting not taking off the 12.5% service charge, which was a shame. Won't return. read more

Gaucho is back! Our group of six had a virtually flawless dinner tonight. Everyone raved about how perfectly their steaks were cooked - filet, sirloin, ribeye, rump - it didn't matter. Everyone was satisfied. I personally got the ribeye - the 500g tira de ancho (spiral cut and marinated with olive oil, garlic, and parsley) cooked medium rare. I was able to slice into it with barely any effort with a dull, serrated butter knife - beef that tender is definitely a mark of superior quality, and perfectly seasoned. Being the last night for business dinner, our group splurged on appetizers including a 5-piece sausage platter (beef, pork, chorizo, etc), empanadas (beef, mozzarella), seared scallops, and a bunch of sides including baked root veggies, fries, asparagus, and French beans. The free bread they served was also good - lots of shapes and textures but I recommend the flat pita-like ones and the balls (like a light garlic cheese puff bread). As for wine, we got a 2011 Malbec. Very good red wine that goes with beef. Yes, they mark it up like 400% compared to the retail price listed on the Wine App, but hey we're in London and the wine was excellent. For dessert (skipping dessert made no sense since I blew away the daily recommended allowance already), I got the sticky toffee with ice cream and kumquats. Pretty interesting contrast of tart and sweet from the various elements - with some added citrus from orange flavored toffee. Definitely will recommend Gaucho again, and look forward to returning here to dine again sometime in the future. Have to recover from my meat coma first read more

This was my second visit to this Gaucho location, and as usual, they did not disappoint. On my last visit, seated in the dining room on the second floor, our waiter said that we should sit in the third floor dining room because it was "the place to be". On this visit, I was able to reserve a table up there. It was indeed very nice. And as usual, you are escorted to the upstairs dining room by the front of house staff, and when you arrive, the upstairs staff greets you by name. The coordination at this place is simply amazing. At the table, we started off with cocktails and when the waiter mistakenly brought my drink with a lemon instead of a lime, and called it to his attention - he removed the drink and brought me new drink - again with the great service. Our steaks were perfect as usual, as were the frites and the béarnaise sauce. Here is where they never cease to amaze me with excellent service. We each had glasses of malbec with dinner and after we paid the check, our server came over with little cards with the name and vintage written on them. Seriously, it was that awesome. read more

Gaucho - Bam! Gaucho! - Argentine Near Me - London, XGL

I love a good steakhouse more than almost anything and was really let down at Gaucho last night. Went with several friends and the ability to eat outside on a nice night was a huge plus. The service was also quick and professional. Unfortunately, the food let us down. Started with tuna tartare. It was good but not unique. The real let down was the spiral cut ribeye. I ordered the largest one, with Argentinean seasoning, and was so let down. The meet was tough with grizzle throughout. In addition, they do not give you true steak knives, on the assumption that the steak is so tender you don't need them, but believe I wish I had one. Had to struggle to cut the steak and ended up with huge bites as it was just too much work given how tough the steak was. Particularly appalling as it was ribeye, normally a tender cut. Compared to Hawksmoor, Goodmans or MASH, it was closer to Angus Steakhouse. So disappointing. read more

The steaks are great, very tender and juicy. The Rib-eye and Fillet are great. The starters are a but disappointing as the salami and Jamon are quite low in quality and very dry and tasteless... The Argentinian wine is not my favourite... the Cabernet Sauvignon is just ok... risk a little a bit to order... but with such price, you can have much better Cabernet Sauvignon... Not sure if I will visit again... read more

The interior is definitely a cool theme. They have the cow hide everywhere which makes for a great ambiance to a steakhouse. I will start out by saying the bread they give at the table is awesome. The chewy bread was my favorite! We started with the sun dried tomato empanada. Wasnt the best i have had but wasnt bad. The tuna tartare with the avocado was fresh and well made. The risotto cake was a little soggy for my liking and was very salty. The olive tapenade helped cut the salt but overall the dish fell a little flat. All the steaks were also very salty for my taste. The sirloin was a little chewy due to the fat content. The filet mignon was probably the best steak of the bunch. Order that if you come to gaucho. For dessert, The malbec sorbet wasnt a table favorite either. Overall, it is a cool experience due to the ambiance but I would guess there are better steakhouses in london. In my opinion we had a better food experience at Mash. read more

This was by far one of the best eating experiences I have ever had. The service was great we were seated right away. Our table of 8was served both sparkling and still wanted. Our waiter was sure to explain the specials and the streak(although we are aware) We were given an assortment of bread while we waited paired with herb oil, salt, sea salt and butter. Our orders took a little longer to come, but I'm sure it's because they were made to order. I got the lamb shank pie, a side of chestnut roasted mushrooms and a cafe de leche cocktail. We paid a total of 350. The food was well seasoned and full of flavor! I truly enjoyed myself.. a must go. read more

The vibe, staff and service here was perfect. Loved the bread and garlic butter and corn they gave as a side, tuna ceviche looked great but wasn't exceptional, and the steak was very well cooked but maybe a little too salty for me. A solid place to dine, but not something I would crave to come back for. read more

I was looking for a nice place for dinner with parents who came for the weekend in London. It's definitely a great place for dinner! The decoration is nice, trendy and really original. My mom and I, totally loved it! It looks fancy and casual at the same time. The only negative point about the atmosphere in general : the music was a bit too loud and not really great for talks. The service was good. The waitress who served us was nice, friendly and smiling. She took the time to explain the menu (at the same time I was translating for my parents who can't speak English) and to help us to choose a delicious Argentinian red wine. Then we didn't wait that long to be served. Then, at last but not least: the Food. If you are a meat lover like me, this place is your heaven! You can choose your cut of beef, the marinade style if you want one and how much you want. My mom had the medallions of fillet and my dad and I ordered the chimichurri medalions of rib-eye. We ordered several sides to share (sweet potatoes, fries, mashed potatoes and some mixed salad) Everything was delicious and tasty. The meat was perfectly cooked and tender. I totally recommend this place and I will go again for more delicious meat read more

Fast becoming a regular at this restaurant. From the moment you get there you have the staffs attention. Can be a little confusing as you enter into the reception area with no visibility of the dining area which is spread over a few floors. The bar area is nice and relaxed with waiter service so no fighting to get to the bar, all very civilised. The staff are attentive toping up your glass or asking if you wish to order again without you having to wait around or try and get eye contact with a passing waiter. Although you have your time booked for a table, and I am sure they wish for you to stick to this, you don't feel too much pressure to drink up and get to your table. Decor is cow skins all over the place so not the place to be if you are not keen on animals. Gauchos is definitely a place for the meat eater. I, however, am not a red meat eater but can generally find a reasonable selection to select from on the menu. Let down was on the deserts which for me and my sweet tooth could be better. The staff appear very knowledgeable in the selection of meats they display grandly to you and also informative about the wine selection. All in all I nice evening out even for the non red meat eaters! read more

Came for a treat on a Staurday afternoon. From the moment you step into the resturant you are made to feel very welcome and treated as though they know you. All the staff are friendly and approachable. The decor reflects the meat focus of the resturant butitcould possibly bea little brighter. It started off very quitely as we were placed up on the 1st floor. The waiting staff are very attentitive and knowledgeable about the steaks on offer. If you go to Gaucho's it is because you like your meat and they have a very good selection. The advice given by the waiting staff is spot on so if you go do listen to them once you have selected your cut of beef. If you aren't a red meat fan then never fear they do have some fish, chicken and pork on the menu!!! This is a pricey resturant but you do get what you pay for. The wines are expensive but the one I had was very nice and complimented my steak very well. It can be a little noises once it fills up with people but not to a point where you have to shout at each other to have a conversation, unless a group of Spainards sits near you and they are a very load group (but it did not detract from the great lunch I experienced at Gaucho's) All in all I will go back as I enjoyed the experience...and more importantly the food!! read more

This was quite possibly the best steak that I have ever had and I am a huge steak lover. The steak is comparable to Goodman's and although a little pricey, you won't be disappointed. When you order, you are shown a selection of cuts and are recommended the best one according to your taste. The steak itself was cooked to perfection with just the right amount of salt. Here is a restaurant you can comfortably order a medium rare without getting something over or under. The side fries were generous and the peppercorn sauce creamy with thick consistency - perfect. Upon entering the building, you'll notice the decor looks more akin to a grand palace. The tables are a bit too small for my liking but enough to eat comfortably without hitting other tables. My only gripe with this restaurant is that the service could and should have been quicker than what it was but that may be because it was busy that day. A word to the wise - try the afternoon and not evening. read more

My wife and I were in London for the night on our way to the states and looking for a nice meal while in town. We used Yelp to find this place. We sat outside and had a great meal. We started with the empanadas -- one been and one sun dried tomato. They were OK. We are used to something a little different at home but no sweat. They were good, not great. A bit on the dry side.... For our main course, we shared a Churrasco de Chorizo. Since we were sharing, our server encouraged us to get the 400g. In hindsight, the 300g would have been fine. The steak was really awesome. Very tasty. We got the tomato salad and thin chips to share as well. Really outstanding main course....then desert arrived..... We ordered the Dulce de Leche Cheesecake. Whoa. you don't need to read anymore, just order this thing if you like dulce de leche or cheesecake at all. Or order if even in you don't. :) I love my dessert and this was one of my all time favorite deserts. It was simply delicious. Overall, we were very happy with our meal. Our service was a bit uneven. It was kind of odd. We started with one server and after he took our orders, we never saw him again and were taken care of by a nice lady. But I can't say that I've ever had that happen before without someone actually saying something like, "hey we've had a shift change and this is happening...." It was no sweat...just a little odd. Service overall was good, not great. read more

This place receives 5 stars not only because the Steak & Wine were amazing, the staff was so accommodating after I mistakenly gif the times of my reservation wrong by an hour. They made sure to find us a table big enough for our party. We were very thankful for that as most restaurants would not have gone above and beyond like that. We all ordered Steak and very pleased with our food. The meat was tender, juicy and yummy!!! Will for sure be back next time I am in London. read more

I am still up walking slightly bow legged after being served up a carnivorous feast at Gaucho yesterday lunchtime. Probably best suited for a client lunch (hence my visit), highlights included being painstakingly shown each meat cut on a wooden board, that would more than make a vegetarian squirm. I went for the fillet cut 'Bife de Lomo' rare - £28 for a 300g slab or £36 for a 400g man-sized chunk. Served with a selection of sides from garlic asparagus to button mushrooms with bacon lardons, I was unable to communicate for 15 minutes whilst chomping away. Lovely service to boot, with a red-lipped waitress offering us an exquisite alternative of dulce de leche as the original cheesecake had been scoffed. read more

My girlfriend and I were in London on vacation and wanted to go to a nice dinner while there. We decided to try out an Argentinian Steakhouse. There are quite a few options in London and we ended up choosing Gaucho based on the yelp reviews and close proximity to where we were staying. This place is awesome! It's a classy place to dine out (although you don't have to be dressed up to come here.) The choice of steaks and sides are incredible. If you wanted some tasty, uniquely seasoned/cooked steaks come here! The server we had was great as well. Next time we are back in London we will definitely eat here!a read more

One of my favourite places to eat in the West End. The food is obviously made in Gaucho, so you get to eat the amazing cheese bread you get served even before you order anything (I confess I think about this bread for days after I've eaten at Gaucho!). The chicken livers are (not surprisingly) among my fav dishes, but you have a really large range of meat options (some fish as well, notably salmon). Ah! Don't forget to try the chimichurri sauce (green sauce) - absolutely delicious! read more

The food was good, but we were somewhat mistreated at the end of our meal. I'm 62 years old and in my entire life of going to restaurants, I've never had a waiter inform my table that we had to leave because someone had reserved our table. Our group was having a great time, and hadn't even got to the point in the meal where dessert was offered, when we were told that we would need to leave. It was offensive, embarrassing, and rude. I've never seen anything like it, and obviously I'll never return to this restaurant again. read more

Took my girlfriend here for our two year anniversary. What a great place! I have been previously about three years ago. We booked online and when we got the establishment we sat in the bar area before going to our table. This is the only part of the trip which was a tad disappointing. When we where sat in the bar area it appeared that some of the staff where having a disagreement over something. This was right in front of us and there where around five members of staff involved!! After this we went and sat upstairs. This is lovely! When seated bathe waiter came to the table with a wooden slab with all the cuts of meat on. My girlfriend isn't a massive steak fan and wanted a steak with not much fat on after speaking to the waiter he advised on what steak to go for. Once we had finished our meal we sat on the "terrace" type thing. This is basically still inside but the roof opens. It had a lovely fireplace and was very romantic. Overall a great experience! read more
