I have been using this restaurant for over 30 years. It has rarely disappointed. The soup de poisson is outstanding as is the beef entrecôte for sharing. Service is as good as anywhere you will find and the ambience thoroughly French. Highly recommended.

If Gaucho was an airline, I’d be a card carrying frequent flyer at Gaucho! Despite the busy lunchtime, there was a warm welcome, I was promptly seated and served, with a perfectly cooked steak and wonderful staff at the establishment. In New York & Chicago it was Smith & Wollensky for steak, but in London, it can only be Gaucho!

I love this place! On a weekday morning it is very corporate, just be aware of that, so the ambience is reflective of that. But the food is amazing and the service is wonderful.
