About The Gaucho Grill
The only Gaucho Grill outside London, this gorgeous restaurant and bar does its critically-acclaimed siblings proud. A feast for the eyes as well as the stomach, it has two opulent mezzanine areas filled with cow-hide covered seats, and an open kitchen running the full length of the room. The Argentine steaks are what you really want to come here for; they're the best. All are served with either chips or baked potato and a sauce of your choice. There are quality vegetarians options too, such escolar (seafish) and octopus marinated in lime, chillies and coriander, served with roasted sweet potato slices. Strong wine list features several fine and rare brands. DJs play every Saturday night. A steak-eaters heaven.
