Gaucho Grill in Manchester

Friends raved about this place and now I know why! 5💫💫💫💫💫

The restaurant is decorated in a dark and elegant style. The service is excellent and always attentive without being intrusive. The Chateau Briand is impeccable but the side dishes are a little small and not salty enough. The price-performance ratio is fine. Unfortunately the music was a bit too loud with the DJ but that's a minor problem

The food was amazing and a big thank you to our server Marcelo, he was amazing and attentive! Big credit to the company! Thank you marcelo!

Lovely food and drinks and service was perfect. Will definitely be back!

Tasty steak in a beautiful setting

Fantastic food, great service. Went for lunch. Had the place to ourselves, unusually. Will definitely go again. Lovely interior.

I recently visited one of your establishments and can’t stop raving about it! The food and drinks were top-notch, and the atmosphere was spot on. The team really made my experience special with their warm greetings and helpful recommendations. I definitely want to check out your other locations in London next! Just a heads up, I thought the pricing was decent, but a tiny bit of improvement in the speed of service would make it even better.

Unbelievable atmosphere, service and food

Went to this restaurant for my birthday and everything was perfect. My favorite is this roast chicken, it’s so delicious and very juicy. The steak was also very good. It was said to be Argentinian style, but I didn't feel it. I just felt that the heat and meat quality were particularly good. Mushrooms are great and my boyfriend loves them. I like burrata very much, it's refreshing and soothing, and it's really great with bread. The two cocktails ordered were okay, not very strong, and we were both okay with it. I like this birthday cake, it has a rich nutty flavor. The atmosphere and service were excellent, and I had a great birthday.

Came today 3/9/25 and truly what started as a pleasant experience went downhill. My server was James and he was good however I feel they were not enough staff and for a Sunday roast it was an underwhelming serving. Two simple pieces of beef, a Yorkshire pudding, three small potatoes, tiny piece of onion, two carrots and some kale I think. I decided I better go for all you can eat roast as the meat portion was small. They only top up one piece at a time and when the server is busy it can take too long. Then James went on break and advised Scott would now tend to me. I had no issue until then for the next 35 minutes passed and NOT ONCE did someone come and check on me or offer me more food. What is the point of bottomless roast if you can’t get service? Julia the manager came and made it right after all that but now I had hiccups was upset and felt like a prisoner at my table waiting for any help or more food. I usually enjoy my time at a Gaucho however this time I was alone and sorely ignored. It just didn’t come to the level of a £37 lunch.

Very good. More care on the menu regarding GF items but was very quickly resolved and disaster averted!! Highly recommend as a treat only!!

Amazing food every time I go, great service from Wilf too!

Booked a table for 20:00. Did not get the table until 20:25. Ordered a second drink just before main course, but never got it. Service overall was very poor. Food was ok but not the best, the meat was good but the starters where not worth it. Also, the mandatory added 13% gratitude on the bill was not very apprecited. Booked 20:00, 27 February. Max.

This is my favorite restaurant in Manchester! Great food and amazing service! This was my second time and I will 100% come again!

It's easy to leave Gaucho a five star review, because the place is mint. The staff that served us today were excellent, especially Jake, what a legend. Let's not forget the food though - it was EPIC! 100% going to visit again after today. Thank you all so much for having us 🙂

Beautiful building, very decent steak platter. Mixed service - some very good, others overly fussy/too keen to take things away

Ordered medium rare ribeye, came back medium/medium+.

Great food, waiter goes above and beyond for you. Price reflects food. Clean, great atmosphere. Food was amazing and will Definitely be back and recommend to others.

Great staff but way too salty for both the Sirloin and side of Brocoli. Mash was very dry too. Very attentive waiter though so can't fault them for that.

Food isn’t as great as it’s priced but service and atmosphere are pretty good

I have no idea why this place is so expensive the food is basically average pub food but in town so they charge what they want. It’s a gimmick, as simple as that. The food is not worth the money.

Absolutely outstanding food. I had the steak and they showed me it before it was spiked to check if it looked good and it did. The steak was extremely soft. Everything about it is good apart from how expensive it is. We even got 20% off and it was just over £300. It is lovely and I really do recommend but be warned the for the price btw there was only 3 of us that went

Exelent food and our waiter Sabri was over the top good. Highly recomended

The word disappointed doesn't even come close, first off we rang and asked could we rearrange from 3 to 2:20 someone on phone said they can't do that time it's busy but come at 2:15 which we was confused on with being onto 5 minutes, we got there and it was empty , we came here mid afternoon, heard and read all good reviews and could not wait to try it. However, first bad impression is the cow print all over the place in random spots which is very off putting which we were told is real skin, on the chairs and stairs. Then when we received our meal, presentation was disappointing, the burger was average and steak not cooked properly. Chips came separate off plate ( which is fair enough ) however, when it came to taking our plates away we had our chips still in the little container it came in and then male staff member , asked if we were finished, we explained we are done with steak and burger but we will keep chips but you can take the big plate , he looked at us with a bizarre look and then said " so you want to eat chips without a plate " and laughed . Well they didn't come on the plate why are we required to need the plate ? The female main staff member blond was extremely lovely ! Could not fault her service at all! However, the experience was a let down,

We went for a birthday meal to celebrate, marcello looked after us and could not fault his service. Will definitely be back again

I’ll break down my rating: Food: we ordered the sharing fillet steak and was asked how it should be cooked, we asked well done because we can’t eat it if it’s pink and definitely not rare. It came rare. So I didn’t eat any of the meat which cost £78.00 alone. That is the equivalent of burning money. The sides we chose were chips and mac and cheese as the only greens were served with almonds and I don’t eat nuts. The chips were somewhat dry and too crispy and the mac and cheese was okay. The desert was chocolate brownie. I bake at home sometimes and have baked brownies before. I can make them pretty decent they are pretty easy. This brownie was a bad cake. It stuck to the roof of my mouth and was inedible. I feel no one is tasting the desert menu there because I can assure if they had they would remove this from the menu. I didn’t eat it. Atmosphere: there was a live DJ for valentines night. Loud. Not romantic. Not going to be everyone’s cup of tea. Service: the waiter often forgot about us and on one occasion of bringing drinks he basically threw them on the table and ran. Not great. Price: £160+ and you have to pay tips without consent. Not happy. This is not the consensus in this country and tipping is at the customers discretion not the company’s. This place slaps a high price tag to convince people it’s good in my opinion. Status symbol. Over all terrible experience. Wouldn’t return it paid too go. I am tempted to ring and demand a refund.

Fantastic service and food. Would recommend to anyone wanting amazing steak. Pricey but worth it.

Totally worth the price. We went there for Valentine’s Day, the service is amazing, and you can feel it’s busy but it is not so noisy you can’t speak. Would recommend.

Me and my friend came to Gaucho for his birthday and the food was incredible! To top of our amazing evening the service from Georgios was impeccable, he was extremely knowledgeable on the menu. Would definitely recommend and will be back!

We had the share platter, food was ok, it was decent, but nothing to write home about ..can't really say there was anything wrong with it. Noisy environment with the in-house DJ, weird for a restaurant. But my biggest issue was the 13.5% gratuity slapped on at the end when there was only 2 of us eating, I get this happens with groups, but surely we should be told before we order. Expected better for £230

Firstly had to wait for our booking which was at 9:30. We had to wait 20 mins to be seated. Secondly our steak was chewy, considering we paid £50 each for a fillet we wasn’t very happy. Much better steak places for much less money. Do not recommend

Amazing food. Our server Jozef was outstanding and very attentive. Our second time coming to Gaucho and the standard of food and service definitely has not slipped a bit. We will be back soon!

Really enjoyed the atmosphere, the staff were great energetic and friendly. Enjoyed the cocktails and lager whilst waited to be seated for our meal. The food was fantastic we upgraded to the chateaubriand which was a great choice but could of had more sides offered than the 2 as wasn't enough to share really but overall a great evening The champagne was a nice gesture from staff to celebrate our night. Thanks again and would definitely recommend..

Good service nice steaks, chimichurri sauce was very overpowering but overall good experience!

Ordered 300g lomo (perfect) and ribeye- somehow ended up with sirloin/churasco (was excellent). Starter bread perfect and prawns with jalepeno (not really spicy). Crab cake was fine not amazing. Veg was disappointing- broccoli undercooked and not hot. The veg sides are so small and not hot or tasty- they need to start afain on these. Overall enjoyed

Fabulous steak - drinks a tad expensive but the lunch special set menu is surprisingly good value.

We were sat right up at the top by the door which was cold. The waiter was a little obnoxious.

Gauchos in Manchester is a favourite. Fantastic cuts of steak, great wine list and superb hospitality that outshines some of the higher end steakhouses and indeed other eateries here in Manchester. A warm welcome at the reception desk and the standout feature was the superb table service from our host Hannah, which made for a lovely evening. We will return for sure.

Wasn't expecting the dark nightclubby atmosphere, it was quite nice in the bar beforehand and the bar staff were fantastic, but to continue that vibe into the restaurant became a bit wearing, all evening long. Dark and hard to hear ( yes, I'm middle aged sorry) Food was largely excellent, mac & cheese and sides very tasty, if a bit salty. Steaks were good. However the burger was seriously burnt - it had all the potential to be delicious but PLEASE if you burn it take another one and don't send it out. Daughter was too polite to tell us in the early bites so she gave up half way through :( Bad vibes, altogether.

One of the best Sunday lunches I have had!

Had a fabulous Sunday roast of beef with all the trimmings and gravy. So tasty! Followed by dessert of dulche de leche cheesecake and ice cream. So enjoyed it! Service was outstanding by Josef, a first-class waiter. Will keep coming back!

Gorgeous food, lovely service, steak was delicious. Very stylish and well worth the money

Restaurant Review: Gaucho, Manchester Had an absolutely fantastic dining experience at Gaucho Manchester. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was stylish and welcoming, setting the tone for an exceptional evening. The service was flawless, with our waitress Michaela going above and beyond to ensure everything was just right. Attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, she made the whole experience effortless and enjoyable. As for the food—perfection. The steaks were cooked exactly to order, bursting with flavour, and paired beautifully with the sides and sauces. Every dish was well-executed, and the quality was undeniable. If you're after top-tier steak, impeccable service, and a great vibe, Gaucho Manchester is the place to go. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

James looked after us. Very knowledgable. Food excellent

Jason is fantastic, personable and accessible, would happily join again! Will join again in the future

Wonderful. Special shout out to our server Andrea who was amazing ❤️

Lovely service and experience just the food could have been better steaks were quite chewy

Great Food Fresh taste Compliments to all the staff

Excellent restaurant, with beautiful decor and friendly staff. The steak was very tasty and the additional sauces were great accompaniments. There is an extensive drinks menu and the dulche lèche pancakes were 5*. We will be returning, thank you Marcell.

Phil and the team excelled as usual! Great customer service and hospitality! Marcello was brilliant looking after our table!

What a steak experience, and Excellent service! Will be there again soon.

We hosted our Christmas team meal here which was organised by the lovely Harriet. We had such a great evening and were looked after by all the staff. We will definitely be back! 10/10

Gaucho is One of the best places to eat in Manchester

Had a delicious lunch of rump steak with chips and fried onions followed by dulche de leche pancakes with ice cream from the set menu. So enjoyed it!

Worst empanadas I have ever had in my life and I am from Argentina. This got nothing to do with Argentinian cuisine. Overpriced and bad quality. You can make better home made empanadas by buying minced meat in lidl.

Superb food and service as usual. One of my favourite restaurants

From the moment I was treated till the end when my coat was returned to me, the service was great. The food was fantastic, the tartare was divine and the steak was another level. Will be returning in the very near future

Very bad service , won’t come again waste of time

Gaucho never disappoints, their new lunch menu is fantastic value. Service excellent and don’t forget to get a portion of the cheese bread.

So enjoyed my Sunday roast and dessert of ice cream. Will keep on coming back

Very nice food. We waited about 40 minutes for the food, but it was worth it

I had a gift card for Christmas so probably would have never come here if not for that as it is very expensive, but it was lovely. There are some more affordable options if you want to enjoy some good food without breaking the bank. We had the Sunday roast and the beef was cooked perfectly. The roast potatoes were really good too. For dessert I had the chocolate torte, which was recommended to us by our waitress, Annie. My friend had the chocolate brownie and that looked incredible - it was his birthday so they dressed it up a little for him. Annie was really friendly and very knowledgeable about the food, compliments to her. Recommend the bread basket too.

My steak was rare at best rather than a medium rare as requested but my partner’s was medium rare. Cavolo nero was added to our order without us requesting and we were told we were being served spinach instead on the house however, the cavolo nero was included in the bill at the end (which we did not even order), bread and olives for starters never arrived (requested) and food came very late. Took my partner here for his birthday and with a bill of over 100£, we left extremely unsatisfied.

Great food great service good location

Lovey experience as always in Gaucho, the new lunch menu needs some more options. The prawn starters are delicious. Atmosphere good for early evening

Steaks were cooked wrong Bill was sent down with items on it that were given as “ complimentary” Don’t send “complimentary” sauces down Then add 16£ onto the bill for them . Staff service was great But food had gone downhill sadly from previous visits.

Went the other day with the boys and the food was magnificent. The best ever service from Marcello the main man.

A fantastic steak Going again soon

This has been a go-to place for treats & special occasions in the past. Had a great time as a party of 6, they even brought a dessert for a birthday of one of us! Service always spot on and professional. 4 stars as we were surprised that you are now charged for the bread which used to be a free treat, plus asked for table water expecting it just to be tap water but charged £11 ! Don't mind paying for a treat once in a while but our bill was near £500 and bit gutted all these extras are now added on. Must be cost of living etc.

I celebrated my 20th at Gaucho Manchester, and it was perfect! Marcello provided exceptional service, making the night extra special. The food was incredible, and the atmosphere was spot on. Can't wait to return!

Quality and price misaligned. This was far from the best steak I have ever had and the prices would suggest it should be close. Our party had fillet, rib eye and a Chateaubriand. The latter the best of the 3. The ribeye was over cooked to start with, then cooked well but the cut of meat was poor. Fillet was cooked well but again had some chewy bits in the cut of steak. The whole party agreed the fries were dry. The Mac and cheese was awesome but overall, the food was below par.

Very very good but also very expensive! Nice treat and an unplanned last minute decision

Everything was perfect, great food, great service. We really enjoyed it!

I came to Gaucho for a friend's birthday meal. Each of us spent at least £50 on a steak alone, which we don't mind doing as long as the food is good... We asked the waitress for her recommendations. Unfortunately throughout the meal, our waitress was rude (she spilt my guiness and just walked off, among other things) and really hard to get hold of. The steaks we had ordered came extremely undercooked, so we asked to get the steaks cooked more thoroughly, to which the response was rude. Fortunately, her manager came and spoke to the table. He was extremely personable and refired our steaks. At the end of the meal we were charged with a mandatory 13% gratuity, to which we explained we will leave cash for the manager. I have been to Gaucho 3 times now with only 1 good meal. The food was too average for the price. The service was shocking from the waitress and really good from the manager hence a very generous 3/5, as can't tell if she was just having a very bad night. Furthermore, the lighting is dark but a nice building inside. Overall, I would struggle to find a reason to come back!

The delicious dresser Delicious cuts of meat Very special attention

I dined here during a business trip and opted for the ribeye steak – easily one of the best steaks I’ve ever had (and I’ve had my fair share!). For sides, I chose chips, which were decent, and dauphinoise potatoes, which were absolutely delightful. My colleagues also ordered steaks, and everyone praised the quality and perfect cooking. The mac and cheese deserves a special mention – incredibly tasty and a standout dish. We visited on a quiet Tuesday afternoon just after 3 PM, which made for a relaxed and enjoyable experience. The staff were fantastic – well-organised, attentive, and friendly throughout. Overall, a top-tier dining experience that I’d highly recommend, especially for steak lovers!

Lovely food, and absolutely outstanding service. A real treat.

Quite a lovely steak place. Food was totally on point , cooked to perfection and everything was tasty. Top quality all around.

The starters and pancakes are very nice. Services are great as well. The only thing that could be improved is the steak itself, the dish would look nicer if there’s some vegetables or sources next to it.

Set lunch was lovely . Had the starter and Steak ..it was nicely done . Good food

Gorgeous food in lovely surroundings. Even caters for vegetarians even though it is famous for steak .

First visit and not disappointed at all, service was excellent from arrival and the food was even better. Steaks were cooked perfectly and all the sides really good and flavourful.

Our waitress was amazing!!! She’s was so personable and made my sons first experience there one he won’t forget! Thank you for making our New Year’s Eve special! Food was amazing as always!

very accommodating, all staff were friendly and helpful, food was good.

Ate here New Years Eve. Nice venue. Steaks good. Well looked after by Marcello.

We booked a reservation very last-minute at Gaucho a day before New Year’s Eve and didn’t have high expectations... but were very pleasantly surprised. We decided to have the 300g chimichurri chorizo (sirloin) and the wagyu burger. The steak was easily the best I’ve ever had - perfectly tender inside and charred on the outside just as I’d asked. The selection of wine here is also pretty impressive! As other reviewers mentioned the atmosphere is excellent whether it’s just a date night, birthday celebration with friends or any other special event. Above all, the customer service was just the cherry on top. James made our dining experience a thousand times better. He was very knowledgable about the restaurant, the large selection of wines and the perfect pairings. Overall our experience was just perfect. Not very cheap but I would definitely go back purely because of the outstanding customer service and the quality of the food.

The host and staff were great. Food is just ok but overpriced. Ambient is good.

Excellent service, phenomenal steaks! Will return here for sure

The ambience in a converted Methodist church is unique. Food and service also excellent. Absolutely worth a visit.

Had the most amazing meal with my son. Our waiter was superb and very knowledgeable. The food was beautiful to look at and eat, a true delight. Thank you so much

The best steak in Manchester! Pricey but delicious.

Overpriced and over hyped. Too busy and very noisy. Put on a table in the dark could barely read the menu. Not impressed at all.

Went here on Christmas Eve and the food was fantastic, the atmosphere was incredible, but without a shadow of a doubt the best part was the service from Andy. Couldn’t ask for a better way to spend Xmas Eve!

Arrived on Christmas Eve for a nice meal and let me tell you the meal was lovely but the service was what stood out and really made me and my friends enjoy ourselves that little bit more thanks to Andy

We had a lovely birthday meal Staff were wonderful Thank you

Regularly visit Gaucho Manchester. Amazing service as always and great food

Damaged table in bar area dilutes the quality. Would expect higher standards

First visit to gaucho, will definitely be back, amazing food and an all round great vibe. Big shout out to Marcelo who looked after us and made the experience even better.

Excellent Service Superb Food Great Location. Can’t wait for our next booking 😎

Lovely birthday dinner with my girls, so grateful to the team being accommodating to us being late due to insane traffic. The food and vibes were lovely but a special shoutout to James who just made our night incredible with his great service and sensational energy - thank you!
