Join us this Valentine's Day for a romantic evening set in candlelight with cocktails, finest wines and Latin inspired dishes. Looking for something extra special, our Valentine's menu for £55pp including a bottle of wine is perfect to share. For starters dive into a Black Truffle and Mushroom Fugazetta (a decadent Argentinian-style pizza), for mains choose from our top cuts of steak plus sides, and to end on a sweet note we have a delicious berry-laden Mille Feuille with Chantilly cream.

Nestled along the tranquil banks of the River Thames in the charming Richmond neighborhood, our iconic boathouse restaurant and waterside terrace offer the perfect setting for dining by the water. In the summer, the terrace comes alive with one of our signature barbecues. A standout feature of the terrace is one of London’s oldest Plane trees, providing a stunning focal point for what is arguably one of the city’s most desirable alfresco dining spots.

Gaucho is our favourite place for a special meal. The service is always completely faultless. The staff are friendly, thoughtful and welcoming. The food is fantastic as are the cocktails! And you simply can’t beat the location, in summer or winter it’s the best place in Richmond to sit,eat and watch the world go by.

Strange ambiance. The light above our table was too bright. The food was well cooked but lacked a lot of flavour for the price. Was very bland.
