This, along with the other, equally impressive, Gaucho restaurants, is one of my favourite London eateries.

Yes, it’s on the expensive side, but you really do get what you pay for here - melt-in-the-mouth steak; the best burger I have ever tasted; perfect, hand-cut chips; exquisite fish and decadent desserts. I have eaten at most Gauchos and whilst each is a slightly different experience, all have continually impressed me.

Dark, atmospheric and sexy, the interiors are opulent and luxurious…and subtly tongue-in-cheek. They have a very obvious passion for Argentina (all the wines on the extensive wine list are from there) and all the staff are very knowledgeable about the cultural aspects of the brand.

As previous reviewers have suggested, the presentation of the cuts of beef is impressive. The menus have a fantastic long, thin, concertina design and similar attention to detail has been used throughout the experience. If you get a chance to book one of the private dining rooms, then do so - you’ll be treated like a celebrity.

Gaucho is well suited to an excellent romantic dinner, an impressive business lunch or a dramatic and exciting party with friends or family.

Another decent London eatery. it’s a bit gimmicky but the steak is good and this is probably the only reason to go. I went at lunch and the service was very swish, slightly obsequious and probably slightly too frequent. I love the theatrical presentation of the various cuts of raw meat at the start of the meal and the beef itself was terrific. Slightly cliched trendy decor; trying slightly too hard. Justifies the higher prices. Anyway, go for the steak and you’ll be happy.

It was great food and great wine and a lovely little shop for the wine at a lower cost, but I found the staff in this branch to be quite arrogant and up themselves. They had an air of 'I'm better than you' about them and I didn't feel as though I was valued as a customer....won't be going back there in a hurry
