Gaucho was founded in 1994 and has grown into the UK's most recognised Argentinian steakhouse group, with restaurants in London's Piccadilly, Tower Bridge, Canary Wharf, and beyond. The brand takes its name from the legendary cattle herders of the South American pampas, and that heritage runs through every aspect of the experience — from the grass-fed, free-range beef sourced from Argentina to the chimichurri-based marinades that define its signature churrasco cuts.
The restaurant's interiors are unmistakably bold, wrapped in black and white cowhide upholstery that has become the brand's calling card. Gaucho offers multiple dining formats: a full à la carte featuring classic and marinated steak cuts, a value-focused set lunch served Monday to Saturday, a weekend Sunday roast, and bar bites for more casual visits. The kitchen also caters to non-beef diners with fish mains, vegetarian pasta, and plant-based salads.
Gaucho's wine programme leans heavily on Argentine varietals — Malbec foremost among them — reflecting the country's world-class wine-producing regions. The cocktail list echoes Latin American flavours with mezcal, tequila, and passion fruit-driven serves. Whether for a power lunch in the City or a celebratory dinner in Mayfair, Gaucho remains the benchmark for Argentinian dining in the UK.
