Gaucho Smithfield

Gaucho Smithfield -part of the steakhouse chain with twelve locations in London - delivers on the food, atmosphere and service department. This location comes with a few twists including a bar area and a full size pool table. Prior the taking the food orders the staff will bring over a board with cuts of meat - a standard practice at every Gaucho. The menu provides good choices although the largest piece of meat is only 500 grams. The drinks menu is equally varied with a combination of wine, cocktails and mocktails. The steak ordered was perfectly cooked. Highly recommend the chimichuri sauce. The dulce de leche cheesecake was creamy and not too sweet. The only disappointment was the miniscule portions in the cheese platter. Without a doubt the worst value for money I have experienced in a long time - £10 for a platter with three thin slices of cheese. The service was cordial, friendly and chatty from start to end. Highly recommended (just avoid the cheese platter).

Tried this chain steakhouse for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. The food is really tasty with high quality steaks. Service was incredible! I loved our server and the attention to detail with the manager coming over to wipe the table between courses was really appreciated. The empanadas were a fantastic way to start our meal. We followed that with steak. I had mine with the onions and chimichurri sauce. My dining companion had theirs with the truffle butter. You really can't go wrong either way. We had both the cookie for dessert as well as the cheesecake. Both are scrumptious! We were celebrating our anniversary and they brought out some complimentary truffles

First time to Gaucho Smithfield for my friend's birthday. It was a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Amazing wines, food and service. Menu is extensive and seasonal to a particularly high standard. Definitely fine dining! I would like to praise Veselin and Mario who made us feel welcomed and gave us an amazing experience. Veselin was extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations. Love this place and will continue to visit.Highly recommended.

I went to Gaucho for my birthday and it was perfect. The staff made me feel so welcome and special. The steak was beautiful, so mouthwatering and full of flavour. The servers were so kind and helpful. They knew everything about the menu and what’s best for you. So a big thank you to everyone there who made my birthday so special: Mario, Arturo, Jennifer and Vesselin. Couldn’t ask for anything better. :)

For starters I had the sausage platter which was very nice. It has different sausages and the sauces were excellent. For mains we had the steak platter which gives you a taster for different types of cuts and one platter can easily be shared with three people. For sides I’d recommend fried eggs, spinach and bone marrow. Overall I prefer this Gaucho over any other in London as it’s never too packed and it also has a nice bar and pool table. The service was excellent and fast.

We went here as a small group on a Saturday night. I have been to this location before when it has been quite lively, on this occasion it was dead. Service from beginning to end was exceptional. We used a “Red Letter Days” voucher where we got a glass of prosecco, a starter, a main and a dessert. The burrata and tomatoes was creamy and full of flavour. The prawn ceviche was refreshing, really liked the addition of the mango. The beef tartar was okay, but nothing special. We also ordered the chorizo sharing kebab and it is consistently my favourite starter on the menu. We had the sirloin and rib eye steaks and they were both amazing, although I have had better chimichurri sauce. For dessert we had the brownie and the dulce de leche cheesecake. The brownie of sticky and just not very flavourful, but the vegan ice cream was surprisingly nice. The dulce de leche cheesecake was creamy, and cheesy and definitely a standout. Gaucho seems to be quite consistent with reliable food and service. Will go again, although perhaps to another location to have a bit of an atmosphere.

Our first time eating here and it was for the most part fantastic. There was an obvious mix up in the staffing because the service was extremely slow, however, the staff made up for it in every possible way by ensuring we were kept busy with starters and drinks. Once the steaks came out, they were absolutely wonderful, cooked to perfection, and the flavor was exquisite. To top it all off, they brought out a surprise dessert for our anniversary. We will definitely be going back here, highly recommended!
