Gaucho in Leeds

Lovely steak, bit pricey but love the sirloin. Get medium well for the best taste

I had high expectations for Gaucho Leeds, but unfortunately, the experience was a letdown. While the ambiance was pleasant, the service was a major disappointment. Despite having a reservation, we waited nearly two hours for our food to arrive. There was little to no communication from the staff about the delay, leaving us feeling forgotten at times. When the food finally came, it was decent but nowhere near good enough to justify the wait. The staff were polite but impersonal, and it felt like they were just going through the motions rather than creating a welcoming or attentive dining experience. Two steaks were sent back stone cold, the rest of the table was so hungry we just ate them cold rather than carry on waiting. Overall, it’s hard to enjoy a meal when it takes so long to arrive and the service feels so detached. Definitely not the premium experience we were expecting. I was part of a Christmas party so the booking was not in my name, it dampened the evening spirit and we had to postpone our onward event TWICE due to the delay in food.

Everything perfect just don’t like service charge 👍

Delicious Argentinian cuisine, friendly staff and ambience is also good!!

Wow. This is definitely a must go to steak place. I recommend the provoleta and churrasco lomo. Service was amazing from walking into the restaurant I was greeted and offered to take my coat and a pre drink prior to the meal. Max behind the bar was great at recommending the best wine and mocktails they had available. Will be definitely coming back in the near future.

Absolutely brilliant if you enjoy steak and wine, I just wish I’d remembered to take a photo of their date night wine as I absolutely loved it and can’t remember what it was!

Beautiful food, atmosphere and service. Definitely give it a try if you like a good steak😋 Thanks to the staff and compliments to the chef.

Best cow fillet I’ve ever had. Absolutely sensational. Sublime. I’ll have this for my last meal any day

Pleasant relaxed atmosphere attentive waiter service would definitely recommend

Service was excellent. Had the never-ending roast, which was excellent. The way it worked was that after the initial plate, they came and asked us what we wanted more of, then they brought that, and repeat.

From the moment we walked in, I could tell this was somewhere special. The staff greeted us, took our coats and took us to our table which was a booth in what they call 'millionaires row' (we are far from it 😂). Our waiter, Leo was amazing. Don't like calling him a waiter because he is so much more than that. He brought us a meat board with all the different cuts of beef on the menu and told us all about each one and how best to have it cooked. We ordered our food and when I took that first mouthful of steak I was in heaven. OK, not in a mythical place but what I'm trying to say is it was out of this world. The sides and sauces were amazing too. Then came the desserts. We had a cheesecake which I can't remember the name of but they'll recommend it to you I'm sure. We also had a fruit dessert which again, no clue what it was called. I ran out of adjectives when it came to describing the food because it was quite possibly the best meal I've ever had. The whole experience from start to finish was a pure joy. We will be back. Thanks to Leo and the chefs who cooked our amazing food.

We enjoyed an exceptional evening hosted by Leo, whose passion for fine dining and care for his customers shone through in every interaction. This is our new favourite venue for special occasions.

From walking in the door, the service was excellent. The staff could not have been more kind and caring. The dining room is very comfy, and the table was set away from others enough to be able to talk to each other without noticing any noise from others around. Drinks were delivered quickly, and we were given time to view our menu and make our choices. Staff came to show us the different cuts of meat and explained more about them. The food was exceptional, and the service was just as great. We will definitely be back. I Recomed the fillet steak, (medium)mash, and the red wine jus. 5+ stars.

We went in to this location for a second time, this time of December 26th, our little family of four having a Boxing Day Meal. The staff is top notch, the steaks are delicious and the sides are awesome (bring back the Blue Cheese sauce though!). Had a great meal and a fantastic memorable day!

Always have a great experience here, you can’t beat it hands down.

The restaurant has a really nice atmosphere and the staff were lovely. The steak is pretty good (if a tad expensive) and I had a fantastic dessert- dulce de leche cheesecake.

Lovely endless Sunday lunch. Just two observations, the first cuts of meat brought out were fantastic, the top up meats were not as good. The variety of veg served has reduced also. Overall a lovely Sunday roast. Would recommend and would come back.

The quality of the food here is exceptional but the service had let us down when we last visited. We decided to give the restaurant another try and this time round the experience was much more memorable. Antonio was a very warm host & Ramon our waiter was very attentive and knowledgable on the different cuts of meat. Thankyou to the manager Max who took the feedback from the previous time on board and turned things around very quickly. We look forward to coming back very soon. Thanks again.

This was our second visit to Gaucho and we wasn’t expecting much after having a bad experience the first time but we thought we would give it another try. We definitely made the right choice and tbh this visit was a big big improvement on the first. The food was out of this world and the service was absolutely fantastic! I would definitely go back and I definitely recommend this restaurant to others. Sooo glad we gave Gaucho’s an another try.

The best Sunday lunch by far in Leeds. Service superb ,

Everything was great. Efficient, thoughtful, cheerful and helpful service. Good food and wine and nice cocktails. Not cheap but we didn't mind as it was a special occasion. Some other Gauchos we've been to have been too dark or noisy but not this one. Will be back.

Good afternoon, I am Argentine and the truth is that I was very excited to find a place with the typical food of my country but when I went to the place I found something else. They don't have anything like an Argentine restaurant. Don't go because you are going to be disappointed just as I am, there isn't even one. Argentinian people in the kitchen or waiters absolutely nothing and one more thing the empanadas are made without hot pepper suggestion jiji bye see you never

Had my 30th birthday dinner here, We Waited almost 1 hours plus for food, food came and was mixed up. Asked for water for more than 3 times Service was slow

Served by Ramon and had the churssco de lomo. Really good steak. Doesn't need anything else on it

Absolutely brilliant food and service 👍🏾

The steak was amazing and the peppercorn sauce was delicious.The waiters were very friendly and definitely try their drinks .

Had an amazing evening! Food was amazing and the service was phenomenal! Our server Ramon exceeded all expectations!

Very kind staff; explained in detail in terms of steaks they had which made it easier for me to choose what I was going to eat

We went for a birthday celebration and they really took care of us. We loved the food! And had great service! 10/10

We loved our experience at Gaucho in Leeds! From the moment we walked in every member of staff were friendly, helpful and made us feel very welcome, our waiter Ramon was exceptional and went above and beyond and made our experience very special, we knew nothing about wine and we were given samples to try to help us choose, we had fish and steak for both starters and mains, which were all amazing, we were celebrating our Anniversary and as a surprise at the end we were presented with a beautiful Anniversary dessert board which was very kind, thoughtful and stunning which had whipped ice cream, chocolate sauces and cheesecake which were all very nice. Thank you very much for a lovely experience and evening. I would highly recommend for a special occasion / event.

The Wife and I recently visited and shared The Gaucho Sampler sharing board. At the time of posting this was £130 and included 1.2kg of meat across four cuts; fillet, rump, sirloin and ribeye. All meat was cooked Medium Rare (as recommended). The food quality and presentation was exceptional and definitely on par with some of the best steakhouse restaurants we have visited elsewhere in the country. We felt the service was "ok" but not worth the 12.5% discretionary tip that was on our bill at the end. To reflect this, we reduced the tip to just under 10%. The atmosphere was nice but not as good as other steakhouse restaurants we have visited elsewhere in the country; whether this is due to the fact we visited on a week night is hard to tell but it was still a nice evening with candles lit on tables and background music playing.

Me and my mum visited here over the bank holiday. We loved the vibe in here! The decor and lighting just set such a nice, relaxed atmosphere. The food was delicious. We both got the spatchcock chicken and loved it. Thank you ☺️

Still the best steak you can ever get in the UK

The major letdown was the service. Apart from the warm welcome, the attention to detail from the staff was below par. The restaurant seemed short-staffed, it took 10-15 minutes for our waiter to come over once we sat down. We didn't even have the drinks menu on the table until we asked. We initially came for the taster menu but then switch the their full menu instead. Our wine arrived after our starter had been. We also had to pour our own wine & water which when you are paying premium prices at a high-end restaurant you would expect this to be catered for as a minimum. The food was delicious however we ordered two steaks as medium rare, one ended up being rare whilst the other was medium to well done. Again for a restaurant that prides itself on steaks, this should be something that shouldn't be an issue. Our cutlery wasn't changed post the starter and neither were we offered steak knives which again seems to be common offering at other venues like this. It is a nice setup but needs the service and attention to detail to live up to the prices being charged.

Overall pleasant experience. Food was delicious and service 2nd to none

Wonderful experience along with great food and the best of table service! The staff are incredibly informative. If you’re local to this amazing spot I’d highly recommend giving it a try! The wide variety of food and beverages surely has something for everyone.

Davida was our waiter he had great knowledge of the cuts of meat and wines and the service was fantastic great food great service would recommend to anyone...we had fillet medium rare with sides of spinach baby gem lettuce broccoli mushrooms

We dined here on a weekend away in Leeds, choosing Gaucho because of its renowned quality. Unfortunately on this occasion we felt a little let down. We choose from the a la carte menu rather than the set menus, whilst the lower priced set menu may offer good value the same can’t be said of the a la carte menu. The starters we ordered (scallops and the provolone with sourdough) were good. For our mains we both went for the 300g ribeye, at £40 plus each this should be outstanding. To the contrary it was forgettable, both steaks were ordered medium as recommended but seemed quite charred on the outside. Regrettably we didn’t mention this to the waitress but we did ask for the ‘discretionary’ 12.5% tip to be removed. The service wasn’t the best in any case, the waitress seemingly having a bit of an attitude. Whilst Gaucho price themselves in the same market as Tattu they are light years away from their competitor in terms of overall dining experience.

Excellent meal. Steaks were cooked to perfection and the service was second to none. Already planning a return visit.

I ordered steak and when you pay around 50 pounds for it you expect to have a choice of your sauce(they have chimichurri included but I would rather go with something different) , and chips and salad included not to pay extra for a small bowl of salad that's not even shredded. I can admit that at least they seasoned the salad which is a plus. You have a choice if you buy steak with salad you need to buy chips or mash separately and vice versa. The steak was very tasty.

Had the gaucho sampler with my parents - absolutely delicious, All steaks were amazing with other standouts being the red wine and marrow sauce, and the creamed corn side. Ramon was our waiter and he was a star, engaging with our conversation when we arrived and later taking us through the different cuts and explaining how they are best cooked.

6 of us had the 30th Anniversary Set Meal. Was cracking food and surprisingly good value..

Very friendly welcome, Bobby our Waiter was very pleasant. He gave us an excellent run down of the menu, the cuts of the steaks. When we asked about the wines, again Bobby was knowledgeable and we were very happy with his recommendation. The restaurant is impeccably presented, everything spotlessly clean.

Excellent again. Good food, good service and a lovely Malbec. The Champagne was very nice. Thank you.

Absolutely lovely meal to celebrate a birthday/graduation. Extremely friendly and knowledgable staff. Delicious food, steak cooked to perfection. The service from our waiter was impeccable.

If you want a decent steak, this is the place to go. Perfectly cooked steak, great service, and friendly staff. You'll be well looked after. The bar area looks pretty cool, will have to try it out next time!

After visiting several gauchos (Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle) This was certainly the best in terms of the service, and most importantly, the quality of food.  Spiralised fillet was cooked to perfection, and my wife’s ribeye was delicious.  Service was attentive and everyone very helpful and welcoming.  Will be visiting again.

Fabulous meal here on a Monday evening. The steak tartare starter was delicious. The ribeye steak was cooked to perfection. The chocolate brownie was the perfect ending to a lovely evening. Thanks to our server, Leo, who was excellent

Amazing as always! Not the first time here and the food, service and atmosphere are always phenomenal. We came for the 30 year anniversary celebration. £30pp set menu and £30 bottle of Malbec. Exceptional quality of food for an incredible price. Service by Ramon was outstanding. Super knowledgeable, very attentive and genuinely takes great pride in the food that he serves.

I came in for a lovely meal and I had Ramon as my waiter and he was absolutely brilliant and accommodating such a asset to the team definitely be back xxxx

Appreciate the impeccable foods quality and consistency, the best steak house in Yorkshire. Thank you u all everytime.

Poor service on Sunday. When we asked any suggestions for food or vine they weren't competent. We ordered some expensive red vine but they didn't present the bottle so we are not sure which vine actually in the glass. Finally we ordered 3 meal corse, sausage for a starter, steak for mane, pancakes for desert. The medium rare steak ment to be from special beef but excuse me it was chewy, strange consistency and not tasty at all. How can you get wrong with pancakes? I never had in my life this tasteless, chewy, burnt pancakes. This food was a joke. We do not recommend this restaurant. A couple years ago it was great experience there, but not anymore. Sorry

Loved the food here, always great and would recommend people to eat at Gaucho, one of my favourite Italian absolutely great.

First time at Gaucho, we booked for my wife’s birthday. Loved how they showed us the “Meat Board”. The food was amazing. Highly recommend 😊

The private room was absolutely amazing. The food was delicious, and the service was 5*.

Really great steaks, perfectly seasoned. Had fillet and rib-eye, medium rare, and both were extremely tender. Leo was great at providing recommendations and making arrangements for the meal to cater to our needs perfectly (particularly with one vegetarian and another person who had never eaten beef before). It's a tribute to the quality of their food that even the latter finished everything! Enjoyed their salmon taco starter too.

Absolutely superb Argentinian steak, perfectly cooked, fab service and great wine. I made a mistake with the wine I first ordered, the list had changed and I got mixed up, completely my mistake; this was sorted with loveliness and good grace by Alicja which we really appreciated. I felt so bad. Thank you for a perfect meal and a brilliant experience.

What an amazing experience! I mean can I start with Ramon???? Is he a manager? I’m sorry but I can’t get over this meal! This was not a planned meal! I was going to another restaurant but the kitchen closed at 10pm and that’s when I arrived to Gaucho which the kitchen would close at 10.45pm! As a fellow chef myself I understand the pain of late costumers but please bear with me as this was just wowww! The knowledge from Ramon start to finish!!! Even the name of the restaurant! I’m just amazed! The taste was LUDACRIS! I loved it and my partner did too as it was her birthday! I need to leave such review because it’s hard to find such service and food nowadays .. I’m seriously thankful for the experience! Whoever was on shift please give these guys a raise or a meal on the house they seriously go above and behind! I really did felt special and I know my partner did too! Thanks A MILLION I SHALL RETURN!!! As I said I’m a chef so for me giving this review is a must! Well done Gaucho!!!!!

A fantastic meal - early Fathers Day treat from my daughter. Had the cerviche of sea bass, followed by a rump steak, both of which were pretty much perfect. Great service as always - thanks to Ramon, our table host for this visit.

Steak was stunning service was very attentive

This is my 6th times in Gaucho, center cut of lomo always is the best😬😬

Nipped in while shopping in Leeds city centre. My husband and I chose the set menu and had prawns and beef carpaccio for starter, then both burgers for mains - all was delicious. I also had a strawberry cocktail which was tasty and well presented. Our waiter, Aiden, was also friendly and professional, great service!

Would highly recommend this place service is 18/10 Leo who waited on us through the night was nothing but lovely throughout the evening, he was welcoming. Best thing about this place is the set up and how they don’t bother you every 5 seconds they let you enjoy the atmosphere and look after you how all restaurants should. Expensive but worth it 100%. The wonderful man I think he said his name was Antonio but I’m not sure with curly hair that meets at the door was nothing but friendly and making sure we were looked after. The bar staff as well were lovely and made fabulous cocktails. Couldn’t recommend more for a nice night out and a treat!

Service amazing, atmosphere amazing BUT food was shockingly average…. The fat on the steak wasn’t crispy, chewy. Cut & Craft, Blackhouse have the BEST steaks!! Too much money for average steaks that I can do at home!

Atmosphere and service was incredible, the decor and style of Gaucho is gorgeous, it’s just a shame the food didn’t match this. Some parts of the meal were delicious but the steak wasn’t the best we’ve ever had, and for the price you’re paying, is quite disappointing. Overall, a lovely experience I just believe it’s overpriced.

Superb food and service for a pre fight dinner! Will definitely be going back

Always a pleasure. Though never cheap, I would say this may be the best steak joint in Leeds. Love their Brazilian cheesy bread starter and live their spiral cuts with chimchiri. Just yummy. I'd say it's in our top 2 places to eat in Leeds.

Been coming here for years the food is absolutely delicious the staff can’t do enough for you beautiful venue calm and relaxing first class

Food nice but very expensive they also added on a service charge of £35 without our knowledge which I did not want to pay but was added on to our bill I only realised when I got home so not happy about that !! restaurant contacted about this but they haven't bothered to reply !! we were also told sauce came with the steak we ordered 1 with each steak and we were charged £4 each for a very small amount !! We were asked if anybody wanted water which 2 of us did did not expect to pay £5 per bottle !! Will not return.

Antonio and the team were fantastic. Attention to detail, quality of service and amazing food. Will definitely return.

Excellent service and food was excellent. Would book again.

Steak was cold, food was bland. Would not go back ever

The waiter was exceptional (Leo) and was able to help us decide the right cut of beef for our dinner and choice of red and white wine. A great evening with my daughter.

Beautiful food and ambience very enjoyable will definitely be back

First time coming back after having a baby and the food was just as amazing as I remember, service was brilliant Ramone couldn’t do enough for us.

AVOID AT ALL COST!! I would rather McDonald's. Far to expensive for what you get. I had the 400g sirloin steak in which I left half of it on my plate. The steak had gristle throughout which made it impossible to chew. I also had the truffle mac and cheese which was very unpleasant as the truffle completely overpowered the flavour of the mac and cheese. Very disappointed and I advise you to avoid and go somewhere that you will get better value for money.

Second visit to Guacho in Leeds and we can say the steak is the best we have had on both occasions. Everything about Gaucho is top class and we will certainly be back again.

Wonderful meal food amazing steak were good perfectly for all our different tastes

Excellent food. The marrow sauce is to die for and the cocktails are amazing. Our server leo was soo passionate and made very good recommendations. Worth a visit!!!

Lunch time menu. Avoid. Slow service. Miserable uninviting staff.Food even worse.

Tremendous as always. Steaks cooked to perfection. Sauces Fantastic. Decor lovely. Service friendly and efficient. Would recommend for a special occasion.

Food was absolutely fantastic. It was pricey but you can absolutely tell why, sensational. Service was a little overbearing at times, trying to sell us more sides, more drinks etc. Sometimes less is more. Drinks were extortionate. I know restaurants make a lot of their money through mark ups on wine but this was something else. I think there were only one or two 175ml glasses that were under £10! There is also a 12.5% gratuity automatically applied. If this went to the chef fair enough but to apply it automatically and at this % is a bit of a joke. Disappointed in the end as it could be so much more if focus was on the customer and the food not the profits and selling as much as possible.

Great place to eat, great service too You will not be disappointed

Fantastic food and great service. Exceptional detail to attention.

We love Goucho's! The food, service and atmosphere is perfect and our waiter Leo is fab!

Brilliant, as always! Great service, great food and always an enjoyable experience.

Great place, with great ambiance and food and drinks. Service was beyond expectations. I got the chimichuri beef and it blew my mind.

I liked that they showed the meat before cooking it. The waiter was friendly, helpful,informative. The empanadas sauce was 🤩 If you wanna have a great dinner, I can recommend this place.

Excellent seevice food was really lovely. The setting was perfect

Setting akin to an American steak place, dark and moody. Steak is excellent, and they offer some interesting twists from the standard choices.

I love my visit to sleek and stylish @gaucholeeds Fabulous service and incredible food, wines in a stunning setting. I had a lunch set menu Two courses (main and dessert) 🧆 CHORIZO 200G411kcal SIRLOIN. Tender yet succulent with a strip of juicy crackling ( All steaks are served with chips or seasonal salad and your choice of béarnaise or chimichurri sauce) 🍪 CHOCOLATE BROWNIE 328kcal White chocolate ice cream Book in soon and enjoy @gaucholeeds

Food was lovely as always and our waitress was knowledgeable and attentive. We had such a nice meal and the ambience of the restaurant really makes it stand out from others in Leeds.

Absolutely outstanding and easily as good as the Tower Bridge Gaucho, which we have visited several times. The staff really are superb, friendly, and knowledgeable. The food was sublime. I also believe that I may have found the best burger created with their Wagu burger.

Aidan was our server and went above and beyond for us! We were a group in high spirits, rather vocal after a few lemonades and he made himself very present and enthusiastic within the chaos! The food was spectacular and the private dining experience is something I’d definitely recommend. Thank you for your expertise and hospitality

Had a great lunch today. We chose the set lunch and went in having decided to go for burgers. Our waiter asked whether we would like to see the meat board and proved extremely knowledgeable about the different cuts. We changed our minds and ordered the sirloin steak, béarnaise sauce and chips and it was a great decision. Lovely comfortable atmosphere, great service and delicious food! Unfortunately it was so delicious we forgot to take photos 😬

Been going here for their unlimited Sunday Roast and by far the best meat I've had. They cook the beef to perfection. Get the well done as its more medium than well. Veggies are very nice and their gravy is to die for. Will be my favorite place for a good ole Sunday lunch until I find another one! I'd definitely recommend this place 100%.

Outstanding food and service. Assisted by Davide who is a master of customer service. Not cheap but worth every penny. The citron negroni was to die for !!

The food was fantastic the steak was cooked to everybody’s liking. 100% recommend this restaurant

Excellent wine recommendations, excellent service and attention to detail.
