Gaucho - Chancery Lane in City of London, Westminster

I just love this restaurant. Whether you're dining in the private room or the main restaurant, everything is top-notch. The steaks never fail to make me sigh with delight. From the decor to the drinks, to each course, to the service, to the price, Gaucho is the epitome of aah.

Steak was gorgeous as expected from Gaucho. Nice ambiance for a Weds night. Overall a very pleasant meal.

Attended for a business meeting - perfect meal and perfect atmosphere. Just the right amount of attentiveness from Carles.

Ligeramente promedio para el precio. Filete ligeramente quemado. No es masivamente bueno (ribeye medio raro) Caro para lo que es. En general no es tan impresionante.

Fuimos por el día de San Valentín y no había personal suficiente. Esperamos más de una hora por nuestros entrantes. El camarero era absolutamente encantador y nos dio bebidas y aceitunas de cortesía. Eventualmente llegaron las tuberías principales y el filete estaba brillante, muy jugoso perfectamente cocinado, sin embargo, la hamburguesa era horrible. Ensalada horrible y seca. Al final, las “aceitunas de cortesía” se agregaron a la factura, así que hablamos con la gerente y ella amablemente se las quitó, así como nuestras bebidas. Para un restaurante muy conocido esto fue una decepción sin embargo la profesionalidad del gerente y el personal hizo que fuera una buena noche. Nos quedamos satisfechos con nuestras bebidas gratis y nos encantó el ambiente. En general, posiblemente volvería a visitar ya que el gerente nos aseguró que esto era único y 4 empleados llamaron enfermos, por lo tanto, el servicio lento. Tengo una total simpatía por los trabajadores de la hostelería y estoy contento de que se haya manejado de la mejor manera.

Me and my partner went for a valentines meal and it was so busy. We waited over an hour for our starters which the manager kindly took it off the bill for us. The staff were very helpful and gave us complimentary drinks for the inconvenience. We had a steak and burger for our mains. The steak was incredible and very reasonably priced. The burger was dry and overdone. We were also given complimentary olives which were then added to the bill so we told the manager and they removed it and our previous drinks for the inconvenience! Overall, disappointed by the slow service but very impressed with the amazing staff.

The seabream was very good, melt in your mouth tender. The steak was also great. The star was the dessert for me - the trifle which was delicious and moreish.

Didn't have the best meal. Think Hawksmoore or Blacklock, much better value for money and better quality overall. They do an extremely sweet old fashioned, so unless you like it that way, maybe ask for no or less sugar syrup!

Renato and the staff and the food were perfect. Great value delicious lunch menu

Really great special 3 course lunch menu for £24, the food is delicious

Nice restaurant. Great service and food was really good

Very good experience as expected from Gaucho. Very attentive and courteous waiting staff.

The service was very pleasant and helpful with the choice of wines. The marinated fillet steak was absolutely delicious as were the hand made chips. The green salad was a bit tired but generally the food was excellent and the atmosphere enjoyable.

The entire staff made our evening so very special as we were celebrating our engagement and they went the extra mile to make it memorable for us. A first class place which I can highly recommend for any occasion. Well done Gaucho Chancery Lane!

Fantastic service - Barbara and Carmen treated us like Kings. Didn’t have the vintage of wine we ordered - totally took care of us. Go there now!

Had a lovely lunch. Staff were attentive without being too in your face. Lovely setting.

Came in for the set lunch menu. Our waiter, Ves, was absolutely amazing. He went through the menu and provided recommendations (prawn dish was delicious), fixed problems with our orders and overall did an excellent job taking care of us. The manager was also visible and very helpful, she made sure we enjoyed our meal. We left very happy.

The prawn chicharron in the lunch menu was amazing and I normally don’t even like to eat prawn. Service was also excellent.

Very slow service, 1:45 until main course. We were initially impressed by the service and also to see that the sides are half price of NY but they are also half size. After waiting for so long not all courses were available (they blamed brexit and the late hour). Fries not good, spinach too much garlic and so on. They asked whether we wanted salt and pepper, ketchup and stuff. Why not simply bring it… Meat was OK but not more than that. Ceviche tiny. Will not return.

Gorgeous interiors taking you away to a magical dining experience. Went for lunch and it was truly delightful, the service by Vas and George was immaculate. The steak was truly delightful , mouth watering flavours . Had a great time

Great experience, very nice food and lovely atmosphere!

Fantastic new lunch menu and great value, would highly recommend. Excellent service.

Thank you, lovely food and had the restaurant to ourselves at the time we booked which was very lovely and a rarety for gauchos!

Longtime fan of Gaucho brand, but food at this location was terrible. First truly bad meal in many visits over many years. No idea why, had meals at two other locations recently, both those were fine.

Very nice food, tasty with a nice variety. The same & wines & champagnes. Tables a little denser than I like could be a little more sparse. The guys at the service were polite & smiling but they were very late & forgot & things. Their kitchen certainly wasn't helping them at all. Overall, however, it was good if & a bit more expensive than I would consider fair.

Claudia and Barbara were amazing. Had a great time thanks to them both.

Quality at all levels, you should try it!

Food is great as usual. Service was pretty poor. Asked for items and when asked if they were arriving I was told they had run out which was a main side to my dish.

Incredible experience. Amazing food, and ambience. We had the private space for a birthday party. It is very separate to the wider restaurant. Karmen was an incredible server. She deserves praise for her service.

Estuviste en muchos restaurantes Gaucho y aunque son muy caros en general (especialmente el vino) , pensamos que el restaurante Chancery Lane es el que menos relación calidad-precio tiene. Fuimos para una comida romántica en un viernes por la noche, y había reservado la noche anterior. En primer lugar, a pesar de que solo había 4 mesas tomadas, la anfitriona trató de sentarnos en el borde de un sofá con un pilar bloqueando una vista y la otra vista era el acceso del personal de camareros a la cocina. Solicitó mudarse y dijo que había una mesa más disponible que estaba al lado de una familia joven cuyos hijos estaban vestidos con pijama, lo tomó como era mejor que el pilar. En segundo lugar, era tan brillante que era como una sala de exposiciones de coches. Eran las 7 pm y había velas en todas las mesas, así que preguntamos si estaban planeando hacerlo o si podían bajar las luces un poco para hacerlo más romántico / un poco de ambiente. Nos advirtieron que las luces eran tan bajas como pueden ir! Nos gusta nuestro filete bien hecho. Para tratar de evitar la situación de devolver el filete siempre tratamos de ser lo más claros y concisos posible a la hora de pedirlo y pedimos que esté “Bien hecho” y que ponga mariposa al filete (como hacen normalmente en otros restaurantes, incluidas otras sucursales Gaucho) para asegurarnos de que la carne esté cocinada a través de/sin rosa. Salió filete y no era mariposa y muy rosa así que tuve que enviarlo de vuelta. Salió de nuevo 5 minutos después, pero todavía estaba un poco rosa, a regañadientes se lo comió (pero no todo). Al pagar aproximadamente £ 40 por filete y £ 50 + por una botella de vino (y una factura de £ 235 en general) espera tener una mejor experiencia. Definitivamente no volveré a esa sucursal de nuevo, si alguno de los restaurantes Gaucho!

We had a great meal.Service was excellent ,fab place

Excellent service and great food! I would recommend to others.

Great as always. Can't wait for my next time there already.

Not cheap but you get what you pay for. Great atmosphere. Perfect service. Beautifully cooked meat.

COMPLETELY OVERPRICED WITH RUDE WAITERS!! DO NOT IF YOU HAVE ANY ALLERGIES!! Our waiter was Carlos. I myself am a coeliac and was told nothing was suitable in the restaurant which was contrary to what the menu online said. The waiter we have was extremely rude leaning over and hitting one of the people on the table and hit the other in the ear with a notebook. He repeatedly came up to the table to stand and stare and had an aggressive attitude. Everything seemed to be a problem like finding lipstick on the glasses which he had to inspect before he gave us a new one. Food was beyond average. Would NOT recommend this to a single living person.

Superbly cooked steaks and wonderful wine selection.

Good food and excellent service, very accommodating for diners with food allergies.

A lovely meal, great food, wonderful wine and very friendly and attentive staff. Would highly recommend!

La comida está espectacular, el servicio es muy bueno y el ambiente está genial.

La comida estaba bien, el restaurante carecía de ambiente, y nuestra mesa estaba frente a la estación de camareros hacia la parte trasera del restaurante. 2 filetes de solomillo, 3 bebidas y 2 postres 183 libras. La comida estaba bien, pero nada excepcional, ¿me apresuraría a volver?

It was a quiet Monday lunch however the service, food and experience was top notch, as you’d expect from Gaucho. Thank you

I hadn’t eaten in a Gaucho since I went to one in Dubai many years ago and I wasn’t disappointed. The ribeye with Malbec sauce was melt in the mouth bliss and the Dauphinoise potatoes were so divine I still smile when I think of my first mouthful. But to be honest, you can get just as good a steak meal for almost half the price (outside of the corporate lunch/tourist trap areas of central London) if you know where to look. One for the company credit card 😉

Have to say very expensive for what we had, but then again it’s London prices 🤷‍♂️. Service was very good, our table wasn’t great as I spent all dinner facing and looking at the main waiter area behind the kitchen. This branch of the chain seem to lack and form of atmosphere

A very nice time was had by all. We had a table of snack dishes and wine etc. Everything v good

Legacy set menu is a great choice if you want to try typical Argentinian dishes. They have also great choice of Argentinian wines. We will be back again.

Great steak house. Welcoming staff. Despite being very busy they find a time to surprised us with complimentary birthday plate.

Amazing steak, but even better service by Veseline, who made the visit just so much better! I need to go to Bulgaria! Great value for money, lovely steak and sides, and great wine and cocktails to go alongside.

Very good steak house, great appetizers...skip the wagyu washed gin martini, nothing special. Overall nice dining experience.

We had the 3 for £30 menu. Outstanding value and really nice staff. Perfect for a casual Friday evening.

Tuvimos una velada muy agradable en Gaucho. Cálida bienvenida y servicio de mesa encantador de Klaudia. Ella nos mostró los cortes de carne y explicó la diferencia entre ellos, que era un buen toque. Elegí el Churrasco de Lomo que estaba delicioso y perfectamente cocinado. Disfrutamos de los lados - patatas fritas y patatas delfines trufa. En general, una experiencia gastronómica encantadora, personal amable y acogedor y deliciosa comida. Definitivamente volveré.

Had a great time at Gaucho Piccadilly a few years back, so went to Gaucho again this time in London. A very different vibe, not as fancy as that at Piccadilly. Food was….not bad but also not my expected Gaucho standard. Service was good.

My daughter and I have booked the restaurant for a meal while we visited London. We were seated at a table which we were not happy with so asked to be relocated, which they did with no issue at all. Our waiter was excellent and nothing was too much trouble, even though they brought me the incorrect main course they made me new and immediately the manager came over and offered us 25% off our bill which was more than enough. The steak was outstanding and we really enjoyed our meal.

Never disappoints. So lucky to work so close to Gaucho. Can't wait to go again

Food was lovely, but the service from our waiter was terrible throughout the entire evening.

Simplemente horrible. Había diez en la fiesta. Pedir era lento, la comida aún más lento 90 minutos para conseguir un poco de pan y aceitunas. Cuando llegó la red, la lubina estaba dura y demasiado cocinada. Chips calientes. Chips de brócoli fríos. Otros principales fueron promedio. Nos dijeron que para fiestas de diez toman pedidos anticipados, pero esto no se mencionó en el momento de la reserva y la mesa anterior de ocho tuvo prioridad. Realmente risible, ya que no había más de 25 personas en todo el restaurante. El pesebre finalmente no nos cobró por los peces, pero ese no es el punto. Queríamos una buena comida y habría estado muy contento de pagar el precio completo. Cocinar filetes y pescado no es difícil. Realmente me lo pensaría dos veces sobre esta cadena e iría a otro lugar. £ 100 por un poco de vino con papas fritas y pescado enormemente sobre cocinado - ninguno de los cuales como. McDonald’s sería infinitamente mejor. Evitar

Is so nice to come to the restaurant and be recognised by the manager. Magda thank you very much for the wonderful service today.

absolutely fantastic! Me and my friends we went to celebrate my birthday. The location was really nice and the service also. I truly enjoyed and loved that restaurant. Thank you guys

Excellent dinner and cocktails, however, the menu had a spiel about Net Zero. If you think that it makes customers enjoy your steaks more, then you are mistaken.

Tuve otro almuerzo muy agradable aquí recientemente y ahora he probado varios filetes. Es realmente bueno en general para la comida y el ambiente y el servicio, pero no voy a ir por el chimichuri marinado (preparación tradicional de carne argentina con ajo y perejil) de nuevo porque dominó completamente el sabor de la excelente carne. Pedí un corte especial hoy que era el ojo de costilla espiral. En el futuro me apegaré a los cortes regulares con salsa de pimienta en grano y papas fritas, por ejemplo. Que sea simple, básicamente.

Gaucho is an excellent ‘work lunch’ spot with a £30 three-course lunch set menu that includes some ceviche, steak, and either semifreddo or pancakes. It’s not the best steakhouse around the area, but the prices are fair and relatively affordable for a quick business lunch. Their chorizo steak with chimichurri sauce is definitely my go-to option!

Excellent food, cocktails & service.

Great Meat Great Wine

Another quick and easy delicious meal with excellent service and ambience at Chancery Lane Gaucho, thanks to all!

Had a good steak but were served flat Coke. Steak tartare was tiny and tasteless. Very bizarre considering it’s meant to be a decent restaurant.

Always a great steak at Gaucho, one of my favourites in London

Lovely dinner and setting. Great for a workday dinner with colleagues. The summer menu was also such great value for money!

An impulse business lunch since in the area. The staff very friendly. Ask for the set lunch menu it’s excellent value with lots of good choices don’t forget to try the Humada we ordered extra portions of it

Another great visit at Gaucho Chancery Lane. Delicious food and attentive service. We will return soon to celebrate Xmas with family and friends.

We had a wonderful experience celebrating my birthday here. Big thank you to Carles for looking after us.

Agatha was great! Awesome food too and fantastic wine

Lovley atmosphere, with an amazing staff. Great conversation with the manager Kevin. He make us have an amazing experience. The Waiter Veselin very attentive with all table. Hight recommended

Lovely as always, and the cheesecake on the house was amazing.

Great as ever. Going back on Thursday too. A lovely lunch.

Had the 3 course Legacy Menu for Gaucho’s 30th anniversary which was extremely good value for money and a variety of menu options. Service was attentive, and when we mentioned it was our wedding anniversary they brought out 2 glasses of Prosecco and a desert on a decorated plate with a Happy Anniversary message.

So glad the £30 for 3 courses offer has continued. More lunches booked in

Service from Michael was amazing

We had the best time with great food and great service from Michael. Thank you for the very good food and great evening!

Not to repeat myself, but brilliant as always. First class all the way.

Great as always. I can't wait to go again. Love it as always.

This restaurant is one of the greatest culinary disappointments I have ever experienced. I ordered one of the most expensive cuts of meat, and it turned out to be one of the worst I’ve ever eaten, completely devoid of flavour. The tartare, besides being tiny and more suitable for an ant, was mostly made up of vegetables, and all this at an exorbitant price. The empanadas were the only decent thing, but paying £222.43 for two people and eating so poorly is outrageous. I should have suspected it when I saw how empty it was. If there were a word worse than disappointing, I would undoubtedly use it. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry after paying such high prices for such dreadful meat, especially considering that meat is supposed to be their speciality. Ironically, it seems to be the worst thing they offer. Don’t go, because this is a real horror movie: you’ll leave terrified by the bill and still hungry.

As always, a great lunch. Gaucho never lets you down. Looking forward to the next lunch there.

Go to gaucho il like go to paradise. The food is amazing, i can eat there every day. Staff are amazing and atmosphere is fabulous.

As always, a great lunch. Gaucho never lets you down. Looking forward to the next lunch there.

Celebrated my birthday lunch at Gaucho Chancery Lane with my fiance - food was impeccable as always and service was fantastic. Renato was an awesome host and we enjoyed our chat. Atmosphere was great, we chose the early lunch service so it was nice and relaxed. Amazing as always - will be back very soon!

I recently went to Gaucho in Chancery Lane and had a great meal. From the moment I walked into the restaurant the staff were friendly and made me feel welcome. With the kitchen just behind my table it was really nice to hear the steaks being cooked and the noise of the kitchen (it wasn’t loud). The food presentation and taste were great and very flavourful and the peppercorn sauce was lovely. I would highly recommend paying it a visit with either a group of people or just yourself.

Like always Gaucho did not disappoint me. Great food, huge variety of Argentinian malbecs and friendly staff. They also have Happy Hours promotion!

Amazing dinner. We went for dinner on the 29th of May and was fabulous evening. Starting from the greatness at the door by the young reception and the lady manager, continues to the excellent service and the suggestion of the wine was the perfect pairingsof the night. Is always a pleasure to back to Gaucho and the quality of the food is come another planet.

We had the bottomless beef and wine lunch deal. Really good. A little slow to start but quickly picked up and by the end we couldn’t eat any more

It was a great dinner with delicious food. The steak was the best steak I have eaten! Service was great!

Excellent cuts, especially the Picanha, and impeccable service by our waiter Renato - he has customer care in his DNA!

Food was delicious but we had to wait a long time for food after ordering.

Klaudia was our table host, she was brilliant, took her time explaining eat cut of meat for us and recommended her favourite to us. She even surprised me with a happy birthday dessert. Honestly klaudia made feel so special. I would definitely come back again. Xx

At Gaucho, they make every moment count. From the friendly welcome by Karmen to the amazing cocktails by Vlad, they made my friend's birthday feel extra special. It's not just a meal; it's an experience filled with warmth and care. Combine that with the mouthwatering steaks that melt in your mouth and the exclusive wine selection you won't find anywhere else, every bite and sip is a testament to culinary excellence. Gaucho knows how to make you feel like a VIP, and that's why it's my top pick for memorable celebrations. You'll leave with a smile on your face and it's an experience you'll treasure forever.

The food was good, I had the scallops and a ribeye steak, but the atmosphere was very muted for a Saturday night. Also, the food plus 2 glasses of wine came to over £100 (just for me), which seems a little bit steep.

Main courses took over 2.5 hours to come and some of the food was cold :( severs tried their best

Great food but service was poor. Several side plates didn’t arrive and after requesting them 3 times we gave up. I ordered a large steak but it was identical to the smaller steaks the group ordered. Waited an age for payment machine to be brought. It was busy but staff were largely just pottering around and not in any hurry to do anything. Such a shame as I usually visit at lunch when the service is always exceptional

High end surroundings but the experience was let down by slow service and luke warm food

Great, as always. Amazing food and excellent service

As per usual, gaucho is absolutely great! Never been to this one, but it’s very intimate with great staff! Thank you for another wonderful experience
