    charcuterie
    Eli G.

    Meat meat meat, very paleo friendly. This spot was surprisingly full on a weekday night, but we were able to snag a table outside without a reservation. To keep things light, we went with the charcuterie board and a giant smoldering pit of meat over fire. First up was the meat plate; http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/gauchos-adelaide#Zatb5CSICDsEIrFfq_2AFw Packed full of bresaola, osso collo, guanciale, spicy chorizo and pickled ox tongue, it was all lovely, especially the tongue. Next was the parrillada de carne ($60pp) that came with a mixed grill of char-grilled chorizo sausage, lamb chops, free range goat, mesquite smoked turkey drumstick, pork belly, skewers of dry aged beef, black pudding, kidneys and sweetbreads, garnished with lemon wedges, extra virgin olive oil and fresh herbs. It was a beast and this picture does not do its enormity justice; http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/gauchos-adelaide#MPWLugKxQD72f6j_ah1q1A It really was huge and mostly very good. The kidneys and sweetbreads were overcooked and on the organy side, but almost all the rest of the meat was excellent. We ordered for two people but it could have easily fed four normal eaters. Fun spot, I wouldn't mind going back.

    Normally this place would be way out of my price range. However, about a year after returning from Argentina, the cravings for chimmi churri and huge chunks of beef became so overwhelming that I had to break the budget and invest my life savings into a meal at Gaucho's. Whilst I am no gastronomer, my experience in Argentina has at least equipt me with sufficient knowledge to say that that Gaucho's serves perfect and authentic Argentinian cuisine. My Steak (Bife de Chorizo) was massive and cooked to perfection and there was home made chimmi churri upon the table. Accordingly, my desires were satiated, albeit at a fair portion of the price of a flight back to Argentina. Really this place is suited to swanky old boys wearing suits. This is fine dining, and there is a serious wine list. In addition to huge chunks of beef there is a broad range of Argentinian cuisine available on the menu, including a broad range of seafood.

    Where do I start? This place is serious Argentinian fine dining. My family and I have always celebrated each important event here (graduations, birthdays, anniversaries, the time my kid brother got a job). The food here is amazing. My personal favourites would have to be the king prawns, porterhouse, and wagyu beef. Although, the last time I came here I ordered one of their specials: pork belly. It was mouth-watering, and so were the sides of salad and mashed potatoes. The last time I ate here it was my parents' wedding anniversary, and I spoke to one of the staff about surprising them with a dessert and candles. The staff were very helpful, offering to stick sparklers in my chosen dessert, the Don Pedro - Tia Maria with vanilla bean icecream, callebaut hazelnut chocolate and pistachio tuille. Delicious! However, get ready to spend like there's no tomorrow. This time around it was my turn to shout, and for the next week I was living off bread and water.

    Stop your grinnin' and drop your linen. These steaks don't fuck around. If you're serious about meat, then Gauchos just might be your holy grail. Gaucho's has long been one of my favourite establishments, purely for the reason that it doesn't compromise. Sure, you could die of a coronary heart attack halfway through chewing your way to victory, but you just have to give the people what they want. There's no better place to get a slab of high-grade beef, Argentinian style. The chimmi churri sauce will blow your socks off - I can't eat a thing at Gaucho's anymore without drowning my meal in the stuff. Let me just give this quick disclaimer - though the decor is wonderful, and the dimmed lights provides great ambience, this isn't the kind of place you'd want to go for a first date. The amount of juicy beef and garlic on your plate won't be kind later on in the evening when things get hot and heavy. If you have the balls to try anything above a 250g steak, I salute you. But you better loosen that belt buckle, because chances are your waistline won't be too happy with all of that carnivorous deliciousness you just devoured. Also, make sure you book in advance, as the restaurant can get booked out for consecutive days.

    If a restaurant is good enough for the Ex - prime minister to eat at, it must be absolutely phenomenal and Gaucho definitely lived up to that expectation! Immediately as we walked through the door, we were greeted immediately by a waiter, all of them dressed extremely sharp. We were lead to the back of the restaurant to a private area, where we were seated next to the table of the man the himself, Tony Abbott. Which was a pleasant surprise. Onto the food, though the wait for long, it was totally worth it as the steaks were cooked to perfection. Each slice into the steak released its oozing liquid flavours, absolutely amazing! I would have to say its the best steak I ever had in Adelaide. The mushroom sauce glazed the steak in a way that brought out the true flavours of the steak. The chips that came with the steaks were also delicious being proper clean cut potato chips. Though I wis that there were more servings of chips as each person didn't get their own serves but it was all placed into a large bowl to share. Overall the experience was amazing, and would definitely comeback again for a special occasion. Though the total cost of the bill was equivalent to the new iPhone.

    Best black pudding and chunky chips. Black bean pasties were good.

    Always a great place, Gaucho's is now even better! They've always served late all year around and still do. From large glasses to decent steak knives, you feel like you're in South America! Great oysters, blood pudding and of course steak. Great service too.

    Thumbs up to the head waiter who knows his stuff and has some special wines both on and off the list. This is a steakhouse, and their bread and butter are big t bones and upmarket wagyu sliced fillets. As a vegetarian, there is one entree, one main and sides on the menu, but chef can whip up something special and the offer was made to me but I was there as a blogger event with set menu this time. The pumpkin dish was excellent and I ate a heap of that. The house made chimchurri sauce is now being bottled by Beerenberg and is available in IGA's and Foodlands so you can make steak and oysters like Gaucho's at home. Enough to satisfy a vego, but really a meat lovers paradise

The cocktails here are truly unique and now having collectively tried quite a few with partner and friends I can't find fault. (My personal favourite is the Violet Champagne Cocktail.) The setting is luxuriously decadent and seductive, the cocktails seduce even more and the alcoholic ambience is stupendous. A Sydney friend makes this her only must do whenever in Adelaide.

First of all, whiskey is native to the bluegrass state (KENTUCKY) and though whiskey is 'the drink' of the moment it's time too shall pass... Since the 1700s New Orleans is and has always been a rum city, but hey, why be bothered with the details or with authenticity, right? I mean who cares that the iconic poboy sandwich is supposed to be served on a French baguette (which could likely be sourced from another local biz just around the corner -Le Carpe Diem, Grenfell Street) when you could use a (possibly cheaper?) inferior Vietnamese roll? Back to the food: we sampled the fried chicken which was a very small serve for the price and it was accompanied by a mayonnaise 'sauce' - why is it needed? Is there bread to make a sandwich?!? Um, no. So, I gave it a go and found the sauce bland, tasteless, and utterly unnecessary. It's mayonnaise! With nothing else. Fried chicken in the States doesn't ever come with a sauce! Ever. Back to the chicken, it had a delightful crunch and was reasonably well seasoned but far too greasy. If served with grease glistening then it should sit on a piece of bread to soak up the oil OR should be blotted with paper. Not good. Next we had the Marlin tartar which was one of the few unique and creative takes on NOLA cuisine; it was presented on a crisp much like a Zapps' Potato Chip (for Western Hemi folks). This is something I can recommend without reservation. Then we sampled the rabbit stew - very, very tasty with just enough seasoning, however too much rice and not enough rabbit. One last thing, it is a total and complete sacrilege to have a Mardi Gras party on the first Friday of Lent. Pure and simple commercialization. If you can't do it on Shrove Tuesday, just give it up!

The bartender Matt is amazingly awesome and will concoct whatever drink you can imagine. He does it with pleasure and his enthusiasm is infectious. Then there is the owner Anna , A wine connoisseur with the taste and talent to pair the perfect wine to the perfect dish. We started out with the yellow fin tuna appetizer paired with the perfect Pinot Grigio, it was fabulous! The cubes of fresh tuna light coated in sesame seeds, the squash compote and paprika that delicately decorated the plate, Then there was the watermelon cubes that after enjoying your slice of tuna refreshed your pallet so perfectly before you enjoyed the next morsel of tuna, pleasantly back and forth with sips of the delicious well balanced Pinot Grigio. It was like the opening act at the symphony, orchestra. For our main course, the orchestra conductor stepped up the tempo of harmonious delights. The presentation of food, the fabulous, delicious, flavors were all in synchronized harmony. My wife chose the pork cutlets I chose the rib eye Anna help us pair them with the perfect Pinot Noir from Adaline area. Magnificently, smooth and delicious, yet light spicy with light cherry notes that went well with our dinner this evening it paired magnificently. The meals: my wife's pork cutlet so soft and tender seasoned to perfection it naturally just falls apart in your mouth. The quinoa, and fresh, sweet, tender, beets that surrounded the pork cutlet elevated it to a heavenly state, moist tender, delicious full of flavors, the greens on the plate accented it to a meal for the Gods. The Rib eye steak is nothing like you would ever expect to be served stateside. It was far above the average standard cut of restaurant steak. Moist, tender, and perfectly prepared. There was no need to chew the morsel, because once you placed it in your mouth your taste buds jump-up in excitement. While dancing around in your mouth they made the morsel of ribeye, just melt away on your tongue. The green beans are as if they were just picked directly from the plant. The cherry tomatoes when you popped them in your mouth the juice and flavor of just one tiny tomato was like you had the most perfectly prepared bowl of fresh tomato soup in front of you. Each and every single morsel of this meal was like a Concerto in your mouth and you mind, simultaneously deleting, and enlightening each & everyone of the senses in your entire body. All of this in the Ambience of the 1860 treasury architectural design building. If you are in the area, I highly recommend you set up a reservation, set time a side and enjoy a fabulous meal, a fabulous wine, with a fabulous owner who knows her stuff. Anna is full of energy. She knows how to make sure each and every customer has the meal of their life! Bon appétit.
