Baqueano in Brighton and Hove

Absolutely outstanding! Went there with my family, and we all loved it. Had the beef—cooked to perfection, tender and full of flavor. Cozy, family-run spot with a warm, welcoming vibe. And the wine? Incredible. A rich, full-bodied red, perfectly paired. A true hidden gem—highly recommend!

Amazing food, good quantity and incredible quality, very friendly staff and outstanding service! Starters had a large portion of bread, had the Bife de Chorizo, tender and soft, melts in your mouth, and the dessert was full of flavour, had the best argentinean beer there as well.

Best steak I have ever had ! Had the beef fillet ! Hidden gem family run friendly and authentic. Did I tell you about the wine - superb red especially commissioned in . Highly recommend.

Frábær matur góð þjónusta og skemmtilegur staður. Upplifun okkar var afar góð af þessum stað. Mælum eindregið með að þið prófið. Takk fyrir takk

We went here for a special birthday meal and it was an A1 choice! Fantastic atmosphere,food and wine. Owner and all staff were friendly and very attentive.

Best steaks in Brighton, great service and very friendly staff, we'll be back.

Always have a lovely time here. Adriana is so sweet and attentive and we love getting to know her a bit more every time we visit. The food is divine. I love the picada because of the variety you don’t get on other charcuterie boards. The steaks are always divine, and if you get a wine paired tasting menu, it’s a great way to discover new wines from around the world that go perfectly with what you’re eating.

Wow. Simply faultless. Best steak for miles. This is a hidden gem in Brighton. Staff friendly, food incredible and service exceptional. Thank you!!

The best steak I've had in a restaurant in a very long time. Lovely flavour and perfectly cooked!

You literally can't ask for anything better! the steak was cooked to the perfection and very friendly staff and owners make your visit very special. So lucky to have this gem in Hove.

Amazing food, can't praise it highly enough, the rib eye steak is as good as you'll get anywhere. Service is great, and staff are super friendly and helpful. Not cheap, but worth every penny.

Attended today for lunch. Had the best service as soon as we walked in the door. Carlos our waiter gave us the best service. The food was just to die for. Definitely recommend and if there is ever an opportunity will be back.

Best steaks, best service and best dinner experience in Brighton

Absolutely DELICIOUS meal. Literally the best steak I’ve ever had. And the sauces… WOW- especially the spicy one. The service was amazing, with super friendly staff. Thank you for a wonderful evening. Will DEFINITELY be back!

Exceptional service and best steak I have had in the UK!

Steak and service are amazing. Highly recommend the empanadas to start!

Fantastic, friendly place. Great food, great service.

The steaks were melt in the mouth delicious. Staff were friendly. We just didn't really enjoy the desserts, but I'd defo go again for a steak.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Baqueano, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere made us feel right at home. Every dish was packed with authentic Argentina flavors. The wine selection was also impressive, complementing the meal beautifully. Beyond the delicious food, the hospitality truly stood out. The owner’s passion for Argentinean cuisine and culture was contagious, making the experience even more memorable. If you’re looking for a place that serves not just great food but also warmth and authenticity, Baqueano is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

One of the best steaks I have ever eaten. Nice wine to accompany it too. I think for the price that veg or salad could be included with chips in the meal cost rather than charging extra.

Fabulously delicious food as always. The steaks are perfection😋 Adriana is so lovely as so very welcoming. This is a restaurant experience that is consistently good. You won't be disappointed

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff (especially Carlos) we were very well looked after. We look forward to returning. Everything was cooked perfectly, cannot fault it.

Fantastic food and brilliant service from an attentive and knowledgeable team. Highly recommend if you're looking for a perfectly cooked steak.

This was my second visit to Baqueano, and I’m delighted to say it was even better than the first. I returned because of the excellent food and service, and they didn’t disappoint. The atmosphere was vibrant, the staff were as welcoming and attentive, and the food was absolutely delicious. I’ll definitely be back again!

Amazing steak, best in Brighton! Can’t fault the meal we had was great in every way especially the exceptional service from Carlos.

After last year amazing experience we booked again to celebrate valentines at Baqueano. The attention to detail from the balloons at entrance all the way to the window decoration to the table set up everything was perfect! We had a lovely cocktail to start the evening and there were little hearts inside the ice cubes!!! this set the mood for the rest of the evening! Food never disappoints, we have a mushroom soup that was amazing, my boyfriend doesn’t even eat mushrooms and he loved it. My favourite were the sweetbreads and the stake of course! We both went for the ribeye which was cooked to perfection and so tender it melted in the mouth Desserts was just a lovely way of ending the meal we couldn’t decide what our favourite was as they were all lovely and so tasty! Food was delicious and the staff was as always so nice and attentive you just feel like at home. We can’t wait to be back! Thank you everyone for an amazing experience

Incredible food, quality service and of course I would like to give my compliments to the chefs!!!

The food here is incredible! The meat is cooked to perfection every time and the sides are beautiful. The staff are so knowledgeable always knowing the best wine to pair with the meal. It’s a great experience from start to finish and one I couldn’t recommend higher!!

I really love this restaurant , the food was amazing and delicious , the service was perfect too 😀 hopefully I will be back soon

I purchased a gift voucher for my son as a Christmas gift. I live in Perth Australia so my guideline when selecting a venue is the star rating on google and this restaurant certainly met my requirement. Unfortunately it was not evident when I booked that this venue will not allow a credit on the unused portion of the voucher. It is clearly written on the voucher but not prior to paying. The voucher for 150GBP had a balance of 30GBP, my son forfeited this amount. The staff's manner came across as rude and inflexible when my son questioned the balance. It is disappointing to say the least, I certainly will choose elsewhere in the future.

Had a fantastic evening on Saturday…we had the sharing bbq platter…I’ve tried a lot of steak in my time but this food here was absolutely off the scale good!! 10/10!! The staff were fantastic..big shout to Carlos who made our evening special…highly highly recommend.

Food and service were both excellent. Very friendly and accommodating. The fillet steak was a particular highlight. Overall highly recommend.

Popped in for lunch on New Year’s Eve without a booking and we were delighted to get a table. The empanadas were delicious, the spicy beef was our favourite. Then we had the choripan - wonderful. Meaty sausage with a lovely flavour, you must try their chimmichurri! The waiter Carlos was so friendly and knowledgeable, recommended a great wine. The owner came over and spent some time chatting with us about Argentina and traditions. Such a lovely family own place. Highly recommend.

Baqueano is one of those rare restaurants where the food and service are exceptional every visit.

One of the best steaks I have ever tried (and I have tried a lot of them). Food is amazing, staff is friendly, and I really liked the atmophsere. I would highly recommend and will definitely come back. Thank you, we had a wonderful time.

Always book when we are in Brighton and dined this weekend on Saturday 28th December. Fabulous food, atmosphere and staff. Thank you Baqueano

best steakhouse i've been to for sure, great service and meat fillet tender and even consitency, perfectly cooked it's small with tables close together, you'll either like that or not we've been 3x and will surely go again the waiting and kitchen staff deserve to be busy and do well Another visit 23/12/24, superb meal again, one of the very few steak restaurants that don't disappoint, medium rare best for quality steak and they know how to do this. Service / attention excellent 👌 They deserve to be busy, which they are.

Carlos was amazing, and incredible experience, thank you

Today finally I had time for myself, and decided to finally try this restaurant (was on my bucket list from a while). Lively floor, not too loud, couple big tables and some three and twos. Quick glance at the menu, of course I want a steak, and i choose the bigger rib eye available, and heart sweetbread (sweetbread! Long time dont find it in a menu) in orange sauce as starter. Well. Sweetbread was perfect, firm but tender, and a thicker piece than I've seen before in my life. And the steak. come with three sauces already, delicious hand cut chips (or salad, but who cares), and i added a serve of their homemade green peppercorn sauce. Just wow. For understand, the steak is cut on demand and cooked and served, so of course isn't rested, and wet aged, so the kind of umame is different from modern british, as it should be as it is Argentino. Mouthwatering. Sooooo delicious and warming. Amazing experience, made better by the lovely couple at the next table which introduced themselves to me and ended up exchanging phone numbers for meet again in there. 100% recommended

Lovely wine, superb steak and great service. Food was fenomenal, small and cosy restaurant!

One of the best steaks I've ever had. Service was friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommended to anyone visiting Brighton.

Best steak in Brighton by far . Top quality Argentinian meat with the best service possible from Carlos . Would highly recommend this place for a dinner ! Definitely we will come back . Thank you for everything .

Best restaurant in Brighton. Owners are fantastic and create a great experience to match the great food.

Excellent independently run Argentinian Steak restaurant. First class steak- never had such fabulous tasting meat! Thankyou for a lively experience. Kerry and Paul

Small but very cozy Argentinian restaurant run by its owners Exquisite entrails

This place is an absolute gem. Quite possibly the best steak we have ever eaten the service was fantastic with a warm authentic atmosphere. Perfect for gluten free dining with about 80% GF menu. Would highly recommend.

Great place with delicious steaks and friendly, super welcoming staff. The quality of the meat is fantastic and the preparation equally so. Baqueano should be the go to in a city where so many other places serve thin, overcooked slabs of sadness.

Otra excelente comida del mejor restaurante de carne en Brighton & Hove. Empecé con las empanadas que son imprescindibles, seguidas por el ojo de costilla para principal, increíble. No pierdas el tiempo yendo a otro lugar, esta es nuestra tercera vez aquí ahora y es inigualable. Sin duda volveremos de nuevo. Especial agradecimiento a nuestro camarero Carlos por el maravilloso servicio.

Estábamos impresionados por este restaurante. El frente sencillo da paso a una experiencia gastronómica acogedora, personal y agradable. A la llegada nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos, y nos ofrecieron nuestra elección de mesas. Tomamos el pequeño de enfrente para poder ver pasar el mundo. Una de las dos encantadoras señoras que nos estaban cuidando vino y trajo las bebidas, menús a la carta y degustación, antes de traer una jarra de agua sin preguntar. Nos dio mucho tiempo para elegir lo que nos gustaría, comprobando cada pocos minutos para ver si estábamos listos para pedir y comprobar si había bebidas pedidos. Cualquier pregunta en los menús fue rápida y exhaustivamente respondida. Con el paso del tiempo, el restaurante se llenó pero no se sintió lleno y el amable personal logró mantener todas y cada una de las mesas individuales servidas sin problema. Después de pedir, la señora nos dijo que no necesitaríamos aceitunas adicionales, ya que el plato que pedimos ya venía con ellos. Este pequeño gesto de servicio al cliente (en lugar de solo sacar aceitunas extra por el costo adicional) realmente nos impresionó, mostró un nivel de atención al cliente que no se repite a menudo en otros restaurantes que hemos visitado. Pedimos dos filetes (largo de ribeye y solomillo grande) que se cocinaron a la perfección. El mío estaba fácilmente en mi top 5 de todos los tiempos, tal era el tamaño y la preparación. Vinieron con tres salsas de acompañamiento que fueron explicadas individualmente por el personal y aportaron algo añadido al filete. Un montón de patatas fritas también y también teníamos el champiñón y el ajo que era impecable. Demasiado lleno para acompañar el postre, pero a pesar de que no pedimos ninguno, cuando llegó la factura nos presentaron dos pequeños dulces de pastelería que estaban deliciosos. Otro pequeño punto positivo era la sala de descanso que es excepcionalmente limpio, ordenado y muy bien diseñado. En general puedo ver por qué este es calificado como el restaurante número uno en Brighton. La atención al detalle, el personal y la comida están muy por encima de muchos otros restaurantes. Sin duda recomendaría y volveré en el futuro. ¡Muchas gracias!

No hay nada que culpar sobre este pequeño restaurante familiar. Somos grandes comedores de carne y este es posiblemente el mejor filete que hemos probado. Las salsas son increíbles, la comida se presenta maravillosamente, y el personal (propietario) es tan amable. Condujimos 2 horas y lo haríamos de nuevo para venir aquí!

This is a true authentic gem in Brighton. The steaks were unbelievably good, the service was perfect and they went the extra mile with the children in our group. Would highly recommend !

Wow! Truly great food and atmosphere. We had lost hope for eating out, but this experience has lived up to expectations. We came with our kids. We had prawns and the sweetbreads to start, amazing! Then the fillet and rib-eye along with chicken- all of the best quality. One of the best things was the enthusiastic service and welcome, just so nice to see a smile and some passion. Try it you won’t be sorry.

Great place for top quality steak! Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Steaks and wine are amazing!! Highly recommend!

An excellent restaurant for great steak and good Argentinian wine!

Compared to the steaks I've had so far, the taste is one level higher. The steak, chips, and sauce are all delicious, and the service is very satisfying.

The food was amazing ! The waiters were really kind and they ordered us a taxi It was quite cozy in there

This place is fantastic. We have eaten here a few times now and it is consistently excellent. The food is delicious and the service is great. They are super. friendly and helpful. This time we took the waiters recommendation for wine and it was lovey, just what we wanted and not expensive.

We have been wanting to visit this restuarant for a while now but it has always been booked up, we managed to visit on Saturday and was completely blown away with the quality of the food and service. the steaks were of excellent quality and cooked to perfection, it is now 'The' best steak restaurant we have ever visited to date. The owner also mentioned another business they own in Duke Street, Brighton called 'Malo', we were so impressed with our meal we decided to visit on Sunday and again extremely tasty empanadas (pastries). Thank you for your service and we will be back soon.

Best steak I have ever had! Service and food were both fantastic!

What a great little steak house! Excellent food, charming service, reasonable pricing. Excelente!

Visited Baqueano, a quaint family run restaurant, for a birthday meal and was blown away by the best steak I've had in years. Adriana made us feel very welcome and attended to. We chose the Bife de lomo and Ojo de bife as mains and were not disappointed. Absolutely delicious.

Excellent place, run by its own owners, they are very friendly and helpful, the food is extraordinary, the meat is of very good quality, I recommend it if you want to eat delicious meat.

Excellent food, excellent steaks and an amazing atmosphere. They were very welcoming and attentive to allergy requirements!

We visited for our anniversary and were made to feel welcome right from the start. Birthdays and special occasions aside, we're not regular diners but I think it's the best service we've ever received. There is a variety of food choices but the ribeye steak, in particular, was absolutely phenomenal. Great atmosphere and great, friendly people. Very pleased and will definitely be returning! Thank you for a memorable visit

What, a wonderful experience. The food is authentically Argentinian, and you can tell there’s a lot of dedication and hard work. We loved the empanadas, and the meat was exquisite. The service was top-notch, Adriana was very kind and friendly. We’ll be back very soon!

Family-run restaurant. Simple but nice decor. Got good meat with suitable red wine. We should have ordered more accessories to get an optimal dining experience.

Incredible food, great service and owner has incredible energy. Chips were amazing, steak even better.

The food was amazing and the staff really sweet, kind and informative. They helped make a very special birthday for my boyfriend. While providing a excellent steaks.

The best steakhouse in the town, service the best , they gave us a free dessert as well , lovely 🥰

We visited here for our anniversary and the setting was lovely, as was the hospitality. Well worth a visit. The food was also 1st class

The best place for a steak in Brighton. Always perfectly seasoned and expertly cooked. The Argentinian condiments/salsas make the steak even more delicious. The environment is comfortable and welcoming. The team are friendly and professional. Their enthusiasm for serving really good food shines through. Good value, especially considering the high quality of the meat.

It's our second time at the fabulous restaurant and it certainly didn't disappoint! The food was sublime, the staff were friendly and professional and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming.

This place it’s so good we went here and decided to go for the tasting menu, it was definitely a journey a beautiful journey with dishes from Argentina; It was hour first time in a Argentinian restaurant and it was just perfect, there’s a starter, a pre main, the main course it’s steak heaven and when you think it’s done they still bring a plate with Argentinian traditional deserts that blow your mind! What an experience. Go there and be in heaven. Great service also thru all the meal big shout to all the Baqueano team! Thanks a million.

Amazing amazing. The food is so delicious and the staff members are so welcoming. My favourite restaurant for the past two years and they never disappoint. Best food in Brighton

Amazing food and amazing service. I'm from Argentina and it really felt like being back home for a moment. When waiters/ waitresses bring the food to you, they explain in detail what they are serving and that makes the experience really unique. The quality of the meat is incredible and please please try the empanadas. They are probably one of the best I've ever tried in my life (and being from Argentina you can imagine I've tried thousands of empanadas before 🤣) Thank you so much to Adriana and Carlos for being so friendly and warm to every person at the restaurant, that really represent well how people are back in Argentina too ❤️

Took my partner for a Birthday meal, was blown away by the amazing food and service, would definitely go again.

Excellent steakhouse. Tasting menu plus wine pairing was good value and delicious. Ideal for two hungry people. Would definitely come back.

Great products, friendly service. They made me feel at home. Absolutely worth trying

Baqueano is the best restaurant I've been to in Brighton and probably in the UK. The steak served is exceptional and we've tried the whole menu. Adriana and her team are extremely friendly and kind, they also certainly know what they're talking about when it comes to the food. If you are looking for an elegant, romantic, not overpriced and exceptionally good restaurant then this is the one!

Amazing food, cooked to perfection in a timely manner!

Fantastic steak. Homemade good fries.

Very nice restaurant with great food, nice; friendly staff and amazing service would definitely recommend for a nice meal out at a great restaurant

This is a great restaurant. Small but a really good atmosphere there. Friendly, professional and welcoming staff. The food is slightly more than the average steak house would charge but definitely worth the extra price. Booking beforehand advisable as very popular. I would definitely go there again.

We had the steak tasting menu with the regular wine option and it was the kind of lunch that puts you out of commission for a day or so. Great food, well cooked, and the accompanying wines were superb. Enough calories to stun a donkey, but worth it.

We booked for my husband’s 60th birthday party and everyone had a brilliant time. We were a party of 26 and everything was perfect. The food was amazing as usual, and the staff were excellent. Adriana was great at helping with the planning and everything went like clockwork. I can’t recommend this lovely restaurant highly enough.

Great food, friendly helpful, if occasionally a little disorganised service. A wonderful place for a meal with friends or family

I would give more than 5 stars if I could! I'm not a beef person and already have dinner, but the reviews say this place has the best steak in Brighton, so I want to try it. I'm glad I did! The ribeye steak was outstanding. It's tender, juicy, and melts in your mouth. I also love the dessert too. I can't remember the name, but you can see from my image. Besides, all staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

If you're in Brighton and looking for an unforgettable dining experience, this Argentine restaurant is an absolute must-visit. The service is impeccable, with every detail attended to with care and professionalism. The food is simply exquisite—authentic Argentine flavors crafted with the finest ingredients. Each dish is a masterpiece, bursting with taste and cooked to perfection. A special mention goes to Carlos, who made the experience even more memorable with his exceptional service. His warm hospitality and detailed explanations of each dish added a personal touch that truly set this place apart. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough; it’s 100% worth a visit and definitely a place you’ll want to return to again and again.

Amazing little Argentinian steakhouse. The steak was absolutely divine, so tender and flavourful. The empanadas were also amazing, and had a wonderful bottle of wine that was also a highlight. Adrianna was so lovely and kind. Would absolutely recommend to everyone!

Went here for my birthday. Great place and atmosphere, family owned and all the staff were very friendly and accommodating, particularly as we had booked the next day by accident. Steaks were cooked to perfection, portions plenty and the tomato and onion salad a great acompliment to share. Postre Baqueano (spong pudding) to finish was amazing. We had excellent cocktails, olives, starters, bottle of wine, main meals and side dishes. Thank you for a wonderful time.

In love with this place! You can definitely find the Argentinian essence. The Owner was the best, he gave me recommendations that definitely satisfied my taste. Best food we had while being here. Oh I recommend sharing the desserts!

Fabulous steak and empanadas! I ordered takeaway, which they typically don't do, but they graciously allowed since I showed up before the dinner crowd. My server was very friendly and attentive. I asked for his recommendation of how to cook the steak, and he wrote "chef's choice" and the steak came out absolutely perfect. One of the best steaks I've had in a long time. They give generous portions of meat and potatoes. That, along with the house-made empanada to start (also delicious! I wish I got more for later), filled me up. It's not a cheap place, but you certainly get what you pay for in flavor, quantity, and quality of service.

Nice restaurant with good food and very service minded staff. I would have liked to try the dinner menu here if I had the opportunity, but this time I only stopped by for a small snack. The venue was a bit dark but other than that I have only good things to say about this place. Recommended!

Nice place with good food and pleasant and service-minded staff! We stopped in for a quick bite to eat before we had to travel on, but can recommend visiting this place for dinner. The venue was a little dark, but that's the only negative. Would love to come back!

The food, the steaks, are to die for!

Been here a few times and have always been overwhelmed by the quality of food and service.

I think so far the best steak I have ever eaten and their creamy mushroom side dish is my favourite. I've already been there twice. I will definitely be going back.

Friendly, attentive service. The tasting menu is amazing value for money and every course is cooked to perfection. The chef is a genius, the way he cooks every cut of beef to perfection and each cut has the most delicious flavours! You will not get better steak and Argentinian cuisine anywhere in Brighton or possibly, the south east of England!!

The service at Baqueano is friendly and welcoming, and the food is delicious and beautifully presented. They just celebrated their 5-year anniversary, and they keep getting better. They made it a birthday to remember with a special dessert plate. Highly recommend for a great dining experience!

Had a family birthday meal here and it didn't disappoint! The food is top notch (and priced accordingly, but so worth it!) and the service is fantastic - friendly, helpful, but not overbearing. First time having chimichurri sauce with anything and now I need it with EVERY meal..!! It's not a particularly cheap dining option, but for the quality of the meat, it's definitely worth it! Will be back!
