Gaucho Covent Garden

“Gaucho Covent Garden never disappoints. From the moment we arrived, the service was attentive, polished and warm, exactly what you'd expect from a restaurant of this calibre. The food was outstanding, with every dish beautifully presented and full of flavour. A truly wonderful dining experience from start to finish. We will absolutely be back.”

“I had an amazing experience at Gaucho Covent Garden for their pre-theatre menu. The steak was cooked exactly as requested, perfectly done and full of flavour. The starter was also absolutely delicious and a great way to begin the meal. The service and atmosphere made the whole experience even better. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal before a show in Covent Garden, and I’ll certainly be coming back!”

“Very busy restaurant. 2 floors for diners. The front of house staff were abit curt, no welcome or smiles. We were sat in a nice spacious booth, which was comfortable and keep us fairly private from other diners. The waiter was polite and friendly. Nice food and drinks menu. Very quick service from ordering to table on both courses. Great steaks and lovely side dishes. Great restaurant for group gatherings.”

“Food is lovely. Apart from the cold soup don’t go for that not very nice. Credit to the manager she put it right and went and got us a different starter without having to ask. Steak was lovely and the desert was also. Only criticism is lots different members staff doing different bits to then be hit with a 10% service charge is a bit much. The gentleman who brought out the pudding didn’t want us the pan was hot. Ended up with a bad burn on my hand and having to visit a pharmacy for treatment. Overall great food managers great staff not quite up to scratch. Would I visit again maybe if the service was a little better.”

“Arrival: - The hostess was welcoming and friendly. - Rating: 5/5 Service: * The gentleman who served us was friendly, but………. The service started off slow, and progressed to non existent! * We frequently had to top up our water and wine. * On numerous occasions, we were left with no water and wine on the table. * We stacked up our own plates, cutlery, glasses, etc. hoping someone would come and clear them. * He also kept forgetting items we’d ordered. * When he saw us pouring our own water and wine, he even joked and said, thank you for doing my job 🤔 * This was very embarrassing, especially as I recommended Gaucho to my friends who were visiting me from Italy. * Rating: 1/5 Atmosphere: * It was a little dark, but I loved the decor. * They also played some lovely background music. * Overall, I liked the vibe. * Rating: 4/5 Our Order: * Steak Tartare - Portion Size: Okay - Price: £18.00 - Rating: 5/5 * Rosemary Focaccia - Portion Size: Okay - Price: £5.95 per portion - As my friends are Italian, and they love bread. - The focaccia was nice, but we couldn’t taste any rosemary. - Rating: 2/5 * Cheese and Truffle Croquettes - Portion Size: Good - Price: £5.95 per portion - Amazing!
