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 in the heart of Covent Garden, our newest Gaucho location marks a return to London after a decade of regional expansion. Set within an extension of the iconic Royal Opera House, Gaucho adds a vibrant new chapter to one of the city’s most culturally rich districts.

    The food was perfect, service was supportive and the only thing I would negatively point out the level of loudness

    Good and service was excellent. Only downsides were; (1) very dark (lighting really poor), a phone torch required to read the menus! (2) the availability of wine was poor, out choices were either sold out or only 1 bottle, so when we wanted a second bottle not available, more availability of the lower priced red wines required.

    We had a wonderful lunch here yesterday where everything was just faultless. We were greated by a friendly hostess who was extremely kind especially towards my Mother with mobility issues by making sure she was comfortable and instinctively offering a helping hand which was very much appreciated. The waiting staff were equally as friendly and attentive too and made us feel very welcome. We ordered from the winter lunch set menu with 2 courses for £19.50 and was blown away by the quality of the food. We both ordered the cuadril steak which was cooked just to our liking and was melt in the mouth. The chimichuri sauce elevated its taste even more and was utterly divine and the chips and side salads were equally as tasty. The food was also presented very nicely and left us completely satisfied, so much so that we didn't have any room left for dessert! Thank you very much Gaucho Covent Garden for a lovely afternoon- we can't wait to visit again soon.

    It was our first time at Gaucho (Covent Garden) and it was amazing. The food was delish, beautifully presented, and nothing was too much trouble from arrival to departing. Our waiter was top notch, friendly, efficient, attentive but not overbearing. He also seemed happy in his work with a natural smile. Our favourite starter (we shared two) was the prawns - just yum! We both had sea bream with salad and chips - our white wine vinegar was served individually in little ‘pans’ with serving spoon! Great touch. We both recommend this restaurant and we shall be returning.
