Since opening their first restaurant back in 1994, Gaucho has been a go-to steak restaurant in London's restaurant scene, taking inspiration from Argentina's culture and cuisine to offer the finest steaks. Gaucho is decorated with a contemporary design that reflects the modern ethos of the restaurant and landscape of Argentina, along with embodying the passion, lifestyle, and rich culinary heritage of the country. Gaucho is the perfect place to enjoy tender, carbon neutral steaks and Latin American cuisine, with a very extensive selection of indigenous Malbec wines and other beverages. This particular branch of Gaucho is located in the heart of Covent Garden and is the city's newest branch after the brand has focused on expanding elsewhere in the country for the last decade. Just a short walk from the Royal Opera House, Gaucho is a great place to enjoy a delicious meal if you're catching a nearby show or event.
The a la carte menu begins with some house cocktails of Honey Punch with Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva rum, Hennessy VS Cognac, Mount Gay Black Barrel rum, black walnut and honey, along with a fruity Lychee Blossom and bitter Citrus Negroni. Starters include the smoked corn ceviche with palm hearts, avocado, tomato, chilli and a maple and lime dressing, along with a sausage plate filled with morcilla and chorizo selections, picante rojo and lemon aioli. For your sustainable steak choose from the tender and succulent sirloin, delicately marbled ribeye, leanest rump cut and delicate fillet steaks. If you like to treat yourself then try the specialty cuts, like the spiral cut of churrasco de chorizo, the tira de ancho, or colita de lomo. There are also steaks perfect for bigger appetites or sharing, like the chateaubriand, beef bar sampler and Gaucho sampler. There are other mains if steak isn't your thing, and plenty of sides to enhance your meal, from truffle mac and cheese and creamed mashed potato to chargrilled baby gem and confit mushrooms.
