Restaurant review: Gaucho, Piccadilly, London - Telegraph

Gaucho is a rapidly expanding chain in London and Manchester specialising in Argentine beef, including a 1200g sample selection at a bargain £65; keen pricing like this will seriously worry those flash Burlington Berties who run Burger King.

Ours is called "fire and ice", a compact mound of lobster and shrimp, coconut, lime and citrus sauce, coriander and red onion.

The fire presumably comes from the jalapeño, a chili pepper that gives a burning sensation; but to my palate any fire is put out by the ice, so while it is pleasant enough it's a little bland.

Better is the more conventional seafood platter of tiger prawns, shrimps, lobster and oysters; the shrimps, perhaps intended as the makeweight in the deal, really sing for my supper.

In its South American guise, malbec is quite a soft red; just as well, because the French variety is blended to make claret and the combination of blood-red meat and claret is too Nicholas Soames to contemplate.

REVIEW: Gaucho, Charlotte Street, Fitzrovia - The Foodaholic

They got a little carried away with the squid ink and the scallops struggled to cut through it all with its fresh flavour of the sea.

Full of flavour, and a nice hit of smokiness from the grill was made even better once dipped in to that home made bearnaise sauce.

Its rich flavour just seemed more locked in, smokiness more absorbed into the meat and the chimichurri sauce makes for one hell of a difference.

A glass of sweet wine unexpectedly appeared with it, and by this point all the cowhide and metal poles around the room seemed like a good idea.

It was very rich, full of flavour and the poached kumquats were a lovely pairing.

If you consider yourself a steak connoisseur, Gaucho is the place to go, serving quality beef from the Pampas of Argentina and offering a wide selection of cocktails and Argentinian wines.

But don’t worry – if your date’s not a steak fan, the menu is comprehensive and offers a wide selection of other glorious food options.

Before you order, your waiter will bring over and explain the four cuts of beef that Gaucho offers, these being cuadril (rump), chorizo (sirloin), ancho(rib-eye) and lomo (fillet) – all cut and marinated in different ways.

Gaucho has an extensive wine selection that comes from all over Argentina, and your waiter will be only too happy to help marry up your particular tastes with a suitable wine choice.

Finally, one of the other benefits of dining at Gaucho is that the next time you are asked where to get the best steak in London, you have the answer!

Oven-baked chorizo comes in its own frying pan with egg and mushrooms, like a mini Full English; grilled provoleta cheese on toast is pleasingly gooey, the richness alleviated by a little chopped salsa; a bacon and steak ‘chivito sandwich’ in Argentine bread; and — the star attraction — steak and eggs.

Eating out: The Gaucho Grill, London W1 | Life and style | The ...

Being a lover of good meat (my standing order to waiters is, "I'll have a rare steak and I mean rare - just knock off its horns, wipe its arse and bung it on the plate"), I recently ventured into the Gaucho Grill, just off Piccadilly.

A small chain of these Argentinian restaurants has sprung up across London (and one in Manchester), but I went to the link that's reputedly the best, and spitting distance from the Stork Room where well-dressed dancers with little ballroom once used to sashay to the mambos of Edmundo Ros.

The last time I'd eaten Argentinian was in the Loews Hotel in Miami, in the wood-panelled Gaucho Room, and it was a memorable experience.

This certainly isn't a place to go for an intimate tête-à-tête, not least because the odd shape of the rooms lends a peculiar acoustic to speech (like a whispering gallery); but, anyway, conversation was almost impossible in this miserable bunker, the sort of place you'd be glad to enter only if there had just been a nuclear attack on London.

This place prides itself on its meat ("Argentinian ... from grass-fed cattle raised on the pampas"), so why did the steaks ordered by my guest (who wishes to be known here as Dylan Tarragon) and I taste as though the cows had been raised on a diet of Pampers?

Gaucho Private Dining Review: What We Thought

In the Charlotte Street Gaucho the dining area is in the basement, the lack of natural light making it the perfect glamorous evening destination or spot to escape for a ‘business meeting’ during the day.

The walls are lined with bottles from Gaucho’s strong wine collection (more on that later) and a mirrored wall lets you discreetly check for red wine teeth – stylish and practical.

Although the strong Gaucho identity is rolled out across all their restaurants, each still feels very different – the private dining rooms in particular – so it’s worth checking them out before you make a booking to find one you love.

What We Drank: Gaucho is known as much for its wine as it is, its steak.

Final Word: Whilst they do serve other dishes you really do have to order the steak – it is Gaucho after all.

Gaucho Piccadilly | Restaurants in Mayfair, London

From the Argentinian-style cheesy breads to the dulce de leche pancakes, via the succulent empanadas, meat and fish dishes, the food is impeccably sourced and carefully prepared.

The main event is the beef; before the meal, a waiter comes over with the five main steak cuts and explains how they’re best served and accompanied.

If you want the meatiest meat, choose ribeye, though the fillet is heavenly for those frightened of fat.

Service is attentive and can verge on the invasive, especially at the Piccadilly and Richmond outposts – have a polite word and the waiters will back off.

The newest branch is in Smithfield, bringing meat to London’s carnopolis, as it were, and there’s an O2 outlet where show-goers can hire a private suite.
