Gaucho Grill in Manchester

Recently revisted Gaucho after a disappointing visit last time, this visit was nothing short of fantastic, attentive staff and well mannered, my steak was cooked perfectly as was the rest of the food and the staff took time out to entertain my daughter at times which was nice as they were very busy. We'll definitely be back.

Best steakhouse in Manchester, great service and good location

To be fair, the door staff were firendly, and mostly polite the waiting room was nice and calm and had a good atmosphere for a drink or two before your meal then the resturant itself was more of a night club with how loud the music was honestly if you're hard of hearing or wish to not be after your meal go to a rock and roll festival instead to save your ear drumbs. The service was polite but stupendously slow, and even our waiter could not hear a thing past the music. The food was ok. I had the wagyu beef burger would not recommend to be fair it was comparable to a burger king basic burger. Now, the chips had more salt than the sambhar salt lake, not an over exaggeration. My mouth still feels dry the day after, and the desert i had was a cheesecake and tasted like a normal basic condensed milk based cheesecake with no vanilla or anything other than that I'd recommend going to a dessert place after to be honest instead of wasting your time and money. In summary the food was ok the service was polite but slow and they can't hear you and you can't hear them or anyone your with that kind of spoils the atmosphere.

So enjoyed my Sunday roast and ice cream dessert. Got looked after well by the waiter. Will keep coming back!

Fantastic ,delicious ,been going for years and still gets better each and every time

Steak night date night was just perfect for our anniversary. They brought us 2 glasses of champagne on the house and additionally a dessert platter for our anniversary. Really thoughtful and we felt really looked after. Can’t remember our waiters name but he was great and service was amazing. Definitely going back :)

Excellent service, stunning food, 100% recommend, best steak I’ve ever had! Even got free dessert for 40th celebrations

the best place in Manchester for celebrating birthday

I’ve been to a lot of steakhouses but this wasn’t worth the value. Although, the service and ambience is immaculate but the food wasn’t it.

So enjoyed my Sunday roast and cheesecake with white chocolate ice cream. Service by Josef was first-class. Will keep on coming back.

The presentation of the food could’ve been better, the chatubreane steak was in a tin plate, however in leeds it is on a nice elevated stone boated with the sides placed on each side. The atmosphere was ok, however people need to dress up a little bit more this is gauchos not nandos. The food how we was really tasty as always and service was quick. We had a very friendly staff member serving us also.

Rump streak over cooked and tough .. Starters came before our first drink.. Wrong wine came to the table, we ordered red and the waiter came with a white..

Was good overall However had better experience on weekend service compared to a Tuesday night.

Went for some lunch after the Remembrance Parade - food was delicious as always - great staff and atmosphere xx

As always the food is 10/10 and a great dining experience.

Testet the return of the legacy meny, 3 course for 30£. Great food and value for money. Great service from Hannah and her trainee.

First ever Goucho experience. 10/10 All expectations met. Fantastic.

Greater than expected. Perfect courses. Kind stuff

Had a delicious lunch of steak with chips, fried egg and also requested fried onions instead of sauce, which the chef kindly did. So enjoyed it! The chocolate torte was delicious! Will keep coming back!

My son (11 years of age) said it was the best meal he ever had. Staff were sooo lovely! Def be back again 😃

My boyfriend booked this place for my birthday as he had received great reviews about the place. Service was lovely and polite don’t get me wrong and very helpful on which steak to choose. However we waited around 15 minutes just to get a cocktail menu and another 10 for our drinks themselves which came after our starters arrived. Lovely starters however our mains were not to our expectation. The chips i can only explain as somehow worse than kfc chips no flavour and tasted like they’d been sat for ages going stale and dry. I ordered the garlic marinated sirloin which as a steak lover did not really satisfy me, it somehow tasted like pork??? My partener got a char grilled whagu burger, understandably you could definitely taste it was char grilled however the char grilled is about the only thing you could taste on the burger unfortunately. Even though service was lovely it was very very slow we could never find our designated waiter because he was never really around, could guarantee if we wanted anything we’d have to wait 10 minutes just to get someone’s attention. And other waiters walking by who could see we were waiting for someone just walked past and pretended they didn’t see us. I understand from working in hospitality myself that keeping to your section is key however i would have expected more help than what was given. The reason i’ve given this 2 stars is because they did end my meal off with a complimentary brownie which read happy birthday, lovely little touch just unfortunate the food prior had left a sour taste in our mouth. We also got the bill at the end to see a cocktail on there which they assured us would be taken off the bill.

What a tacky place! The decor, the service. Overpriced, dirty bathroom. Tasteless meats and sides… Only good thing. Chocolate Torte

Had a great Sunday roast and dessert of Basque cheesecake. Service was excellent and attentive - will keep coming back

Pete was a brilliant server - really looked after us. Thanks

Loved it here. The food was amazing, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was perfect for the occasion. I would highly recommend booking a table and settling in to enjoy great food. Will definitely be going again.

Wonderful atmosphere, delicious steaks. Our server was attentive and friendly, and took the time to explain all the cuts of steaks to us. The spiral cut filet was the best steak I've ever tasted. The doorman was extremely nice and we had a wonderful time.

Food is fantastic. Very relaxing place. Kass our waiter was brilliant. He's an absolute credit to the restaurant l.

Fantastic place. Loved it. Everything was spot on.

Brilliant food service and ambience as always. The go to place for a great meal.

The restaurant offers a truly delightful dining experience. The food is not only delicious but also beautifully presented. Each dish bursts with flavor, showcasing the chef’s talent and attention to detail. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for both casual meals and special occasions. In addition to the fantastic food, the homemade drinks are a highlight. They are expertly crafted, with unique flavors that perfectly complement the dishes. Whether you’re in the mood for something refreshing or a bit more adventurous, there’s a drink to suit every palate. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy a memorable meal with exceptional service. It’s a hidden gem worth visiting!

Visited with a friend who requires wheelchair access and first and foremost I would like to say that the restaurant is very accommodating and from an accessibility point of view everything was spot on. Food was absolutely superb and the service was brilliant! We had an amazing meal and were very well looked after. Thanks so much and we will return.

First class food , great wine , first class service

The best steak ! Superb. Glitzy interior design, dark and blingy not my taste but overall very good

We recently celebrated our anniversary at this restaurant, and the service was absolutely lovely. The front-of-house staff went above and beyond by writing us a thoughtful card to mark the occasion, which was such a sweet gesture. Our server, Jake, was also fantastic—attentive and personable, offering great service throughout the evening. We started with the scallops, which were outstanding. The lime added a perfect citrusy burst of flavor that elevated the dish. We also had the steak tartare, which was just as impressive. Both starters set a high bar for the rest of the meal. For the mains, we ordered the Gaucho Sampler Platter, which included a selection of rump, fillet, ribeye, and sirloin. While the quality of the meat itself was good, the execution was unfortunately disappointing. We asked for medium rare, but none of the steaks came out perfectly cooked. This was particularly frustrating as it’s a steakhouse, and we expected more precision—especially with cuts like the fillet and sirloin. The sirloin was so off that we sent it back, and though it was returned rare, it was at least edible the second time around. For dessert, we had the passionfruit mille-feuille, which was delightful. The flavors were well-balanced, but I felt the puff pastry could have been slightly thicker to enhance the texture. Overall, while the service and ambiance were excellent, the inconsistencies with the steak left us feeling a bit let down.

Parte di una catena diffusa nelle principali città britanniche, questo ristorante d’ispirazione argentina è stato ricavato da una chiesa sconsacrata. Personalmente ho trovato una “déco” un pò troppo carica, tra argento, cristalli, stucchi e pelli di vacca pezzata. Ma il concetto funziona benissimo ed il sabato sera è tutto pieno e una playlist piuttosto tecno a tutto volume viene proposta ai clienti. Siamo stati soddisfatti della nostra cena ed in ammirazione di come una moltitudine di camerieri/e riesce a destreggiarsi nella folla. Una menzione speciale va a Marcello, il nostro cameriere salentino, la cui esperienza pluriennale nel gruppo ci ha permesso di passare una bella serata. Ottimo servizio. Attenzione: 13% di servizio incluso automaticamente al conto.

Brilliant food , excellent service , highly recommend

Gorgeous Steaks would definitely return, Cocktails were amazing too

Always have an amazing experience at Gaucho’s. Food is always 10/10 and the staff are great. Special mention to our server Joseph who was very accommodating and made our night extra special.

Had a fab Sunday roast - really tasty and first-rate customer service as always

Fantastic night at Gaucho! Emil is the best waiter. Highly recommend! 🔥

Melt in the mouth steak and fabulous live music 5⭐️

Our favourite place in Manchester no question!

Very disappointed. For the premium price tag I was hoping for a really good steak. We ordered the chateaubriand rare to share with starters and sides. The steak arrived completely over cooked almost well done. We spoke with a waiter who agreed it was over cooked and took it away to be replaced with a steak that was then stone cold. As in fridge temperature in the centre. When you’re paying £115 for a piece of meat you’d hope that it would at least be cooked correctly. The sides were lukewarm and the staring Argentinean sausage sharing starter was literally one skewer of chorizo. Service at the bar when we arrived was slow. The kind of food and service you’d be disappointed with at a cheap chain restaurant, properly shocking when paying a premium price. The only positive was that our waiter was very friendly and apologetic about the experience.

Great Experience as always, love gauchos Manchester👌🏿

A lovely Sunday lunch, before watching spurs beat Utd. Waiter was lovely, although he was going to the game too, and thought Utd would win. Poor lad.

This was a really great experience for my first time, the staff were absolutely amazing and really attentive. The alcohol list for this place is really quite amazing too. The food blew me away, I was really intrigued with the wagyu burger so I tried that but surprisingly the steak blew it out of the water, it was probably the most tender steak I’ve had to be honest. I was really glad to meet Jason the waiter too, who I’ve previously met at another bar before.

Very decent steak. Ribeye was better than rump

Fantastic. Peter was our waiter for the night his service is spectacular so warm and welcoming, super chatty and knowledgeable about the steaks/wines. Refreshing service which makes you come back time and time again he is an asset to the restaurant and deserves the recognition!

We had an amazing time here. Being served by the lovely Stefan made us feel welcome and well looked after. We went for the summer lunch set menu and loved all three courses! The empanada was delicious, the steak lived up to our expectations and more, plus the pistachio and raspberry ice cream dessert was an amazing final touch. We couldn’t fault this place and loved the decor of the restaurant. We will without a doubt come back again soon and perhaps try out the a la carte menu next.

Went tonight to celebrate a significant birthday and really looking forward to it as been several times before and loved it.. Staff as always were absolutely brilliant but what's happened to the quality of the meat? Had a 400g Sirloin and left most of it as my jaw was aching from having to chew it so much. Not what you'd expect from a nearly £50 piece of meat! Gutted, as had been looking forward to it for ages. But nice touch with a complimentary sweet with a birthday message on so Thank You for that.

Loved it was a great experience would definitely recommend

I totally recommend it if you need that souvenir home. The meat, the wine and the empanadas are crazy or, rather, Argentinian. The people and the service, impeccable. Super expensive but worth it.

Very good steak! Best in Manchester, grate ambience

So enjoyed my Sunday roast and dessert of salted caramel cheesecake with ice cream. First-class service from Marcello and Josef. Will keep.in coming back

Thank you to all the staff on Thursday who helped organise my Mum’s surprise birthday. Service and food were great and really helpful and patient for our big booking!

Apart from the fact that the place is spectacular and the atmosphere super pleasant, the food was delicious. The perfectly cooked and very juicy strip and the fries at their crispy point... And the delicious cocktails :)

Was an amazing experience. Food was beautiful made and it was my partners birthday and they made it extra special by giving him a card and a complementary cheesecake

Great service and food, all set in a fantastic building.

Fantastic Sunday roast and dessert of salted caramel cheesecake. Will keep on coming!

Fantastic bottomless brunch! The food was really nice, which you don’t always get with bottomless brunch. The steak was cooked perfectly. And the mix of starters were all great. There was a good choice of drinks and you were never waiting around to be served your next drink, they were fab at keeping you topped up. It’s a bit on the expensive side for bottomless brunch but I’d say it’s worth it! Great quality food and drinks. They weren’t pushy when it came to our time running out, which is a nice relief. I’d have liked the option for a lighter dessert. Also, dog friendly!

First time here and I am amazed by the service, the food and the atmosphere! Food and atmosphere was on point but I have never had service like this before. The staff are all so very sweet and welcoming! From the front desk down to the kitchen staff! Every one of you deserve a raise can’t lie! They make you feel warm and safe. Thank you for this lovely experience. I will sure be coming again soon ☺️

Steak was quite fatty and the sides were rather small! Mac n cheese was unreal just a shame there wasn’t much of it, cookie dough was incredible!

This place was the best in Manchester for Steaks! They now serve steaks that are very poor in quality and preparation and my table wasn’t the only ones to notice. Honestly go to The Beefeater and you will get a better quality steak for £50 cheaper.

Service was very good. Staff were excellent. Food was a bit hit and miss. Starter and cheeseboard were lovely, whereas the steak I got was not what I ordered and was hard to cut with the blunt knives, the sides were cold when served. Wine was excellent. The music was a touch too loud to allow for decent conversation.

Amazing and worth every penny. Great staff and service.

Food was good and staff was professional and friendly.

Great building, used to be a church. Delicious steak tartare as a starter. Then a chateaubriand as a main course, fantastic. Friendly staff with a lot of attention for the customer. Music was too loud.

One Star I booked Gauchos 12 months in advance to celebrate with my family, expecting a special evening. Unfortunately, it was anything but. The restaurant was unbelievably loud, more like a nightclub than a place to enjoy a meal. We couldn’t even hold a conversation at our table. When I raised my voice to the waiter as it was so loud I tried to express my frustration at the noise level, he responded sharply, which was incredibly off-putting. Although he offered to move us, the atmosphere had already been ruined. The whole experience felt awkward and uncomfortable, leading us to leave. The staff was unfriendly after I requested the volume turned down , and the overall atmosphere was far from what we expected for a family celebration. I’ve been to Gauchos many times for business meetings, but after this experience, I won’t be returning. I cannot recommend.

Went for a friend's birthday and was in the private room, which was lovely. The starter was delicious I had Provoleta. The main, however, was a let down. I ordered rump steak and was served fillet, I do actually prefer the taste of rump. The sides of broccoli and mashed potato were cold. The knives were too dull to actually cut through the steak easily. I had the cheese board as a dessert, which was really nice. The wine was quite good. The music was a bit too loud to let you have a proper conversation with anyone but it was decent music. Two of my friends ordered chicken which wasn't cooked properly. I have been before and had no issues and really enjoyed everything but this time was a bit of a let down. Considering the price tag I had expected better

1st time here for me and my wifes wedding anniversary. Meal was outstanding 👌 steaks cooked to perfection. Server was fabulous, really accommodating, chatty, helpful and really engaging giving the service experience 10 out of 10! Quite expensive but worth the money. To be fair, we went a little silly on the cocktails. Think £100+ went on drinks 🤦🤣🤣

I have said it before and I’ll say it again. The food is beautiful and delicious. The atmosphere is great. The staff are lovely probably the loveliest lot in Manchester….. and as for the chefs well they know how to deliver… thank you Gaucho 

Great, as ever, great service from start to finish and the food was perfect

If you're after a really good steak this is the place to go in Manchester. Outstanding quality of the food and cooked to perfection. It was a bit pricey, but fantastic!

I was taken there by the Manchester United staff. The taste was outstanding, and the players seemed to use it as well.

The food is very good. The perfect cuts. I just find the prices a little high.

Amazing place! With amazing service, music and it’s own kinda vibe! Went on a sunday where every bar and resturant in Manchester was empty, but not in here. Wich was not a surprise, cause the steak was amazing.

Honestly this has been the best birthday everrrrrr & me, my sister & friend had a really beautiful timeee,, we will be definitely coming here again💋🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

Aug 2024 Went again for my mums birthday but this time, it wasnt as good as previous times. 1. We ordered the platter (1.2kg) and I didnt notice they no longer had the green vegetables now, they changed it to salad so when I ordered green vegetables, the waiter never told me its a salad so what turned up was a salad (literally just lettuce and some rocket). We notified the waiter and he said its a salad now so we had to order another side of brocolli. 2. The steak platter was ok, not the best. the sirloin had quite a few tendons that couldnt be eaten. 3. We noticed that other tables that had a birthday, all received a small cake with a candle, but we never got any. 4. No one voluntarily refilled out glasses of water, each time we had to ask someone. 5. I asked the waiter whether the passionfruit/mango flan had actual coconut bits in and he said yes but in reality, there wasn't any. 2023 Visited with my mum for her birthday. Lovely interior and feels very fancy. When ordering steaks and telling your waiter how you'd like it cooked , they would always recommend what's best for the chosen steak cut. The waiter was saying that the medium was basically just pink meat and no blood or red, but I had a good mind to say, "Yes, ideally but it really depends on how good the chef is". I ordered a sirloin medium well and the steak was decebt, but it was a bit too well done for medium well done i would say. the whole steak was literally well done completely. My mum ordered the ribeye and she enjoyed it a lot as it was very flavoursome from being marinated. Surprisingly, I found the chips really nice and it had this subtle sweet taste to it. Portion sizes appeared small but since we got 3 courses, it was more than enough. For starters, we got the sausage platter and it was definitely not what I expected but in a good way. The sausages were very juicy and flavourful and was just delicious - better than the steak in my opinion. For dessert, I ordered the dulce flan (?) and my mum ordered a chocolate volcano. Dulce flan was not sweet and very heavy, kind of like eating an extremely thick unsweet toffee custard, wasnt a fan and it came with dessicated coconuta. The chocolate volcano was nicer and more "as you would expect". After we finished the desserts, the waiter came over with another plate of dessert with Happy Birthday on it for my mum. This dessert was probably the best out of the 3 - it was like a light caramel cheesecake. On the day we went, there were at least 3 other people celebrating their birthdays who sat near us and all had a birthday dessert. Overall - lovely place for celebrations or a date night thats slightly more fancy. Steaks are decent and they have a wide variety. They also have a cloakroom for those who might want to know. Warning: dont get the mocktail with mint in. My mum got it, and it was tasteless. tasted like water.

Good restaurant delicious food good service friendly but pricey recommended we had sirloin steak eyerib and sauces salad small bowl of fries 145 pounds but better than most restaurants in Manchester

Great food and service, deserts were amazing! Would certainly return for the steak.

Fabulous surroundings, unreal cocktails, great staff. Food 10/10. Olivia was our waitress and she was so lovely and friendly. We came at lunchtime and it was fairly quiet, so we enjoyed a really relaxed afternoon. We were on a set menu but would definitely return to try the A La Carte

Food was fantastic only one problem when I checked the bill 4 days later I noticed I'd been charge for 2 deserts that we never had I'm very disappointed Check Your Bill.

Went to gauchos for my son’s birthday. It had been a while since i last went to a gaucho (Canary Wharf). We had a great table and the service was excellent. The steaks were top drawer and the service very good. The only dilemma is whether we go to Gaucho’s on our next visit to Manchester or Hawksmoor. I suspect we will alternate.

Graduation treat. Service was delightful.

Excellent Sunday roast and so enjoyed my cheesecake with white chocolate ice cream. First-rate service as always

I've had a good steak before but this was glorious. They paid attention to my food intolerances and showed more concern about them than i did :) The steak samples were exisite, the wine was delicious and the staff informative about the choices. Then on top of this, a wonderful music selection mixed by the in house dj leaving myself and my wife feeling energetic and happy. Thoroughly recommend

Unbelievable service and even better food, the waiter comes out with all the cuts you can choose from and shows you what to expect. When the food came everything was 10/10

From the moment we stepped in, the warm and inviting atmosphere created the perfect ambiance for a truly unforgettable evening. The staff were exceptionally friendly and made us feel right at home. But it was the food that truly stole the show. Every dish was a culinary masterpiece, bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. It's a night we'll be talking about for a long time.

Such a nice and comfortable venue to relax and enjoy dinner in!

A Brilliant restaurant with one of the best steaks I have eaten would highly recommend as the best place for steak in manchester

Great service, the selection of steaks were amazing!!

Very much enjoyed my Sunday roast and cheesecake with white chocolate ice cream. Service brilliant as always

Waiter was terribly rude and condescending. Completely ruined a family meal.

Not up to the usual standard asked for medium rare got medium well not even pink

Came in for a small celebration, was really looked after by staff which made the whole night special. Food was outstanding! No complaints at all, atmosphere was just right too.

Awesome place with amazing atmosphere & service!

Went for the 30 year Legacy menu , had starter of Argentine sausage, main of marinated steak, mash and fried onions (the chef kindly done them) - really tasty. Had dessert of pancakes with dulche de leche sauce and ice cream - really enjoyed it. Service first-class as always

Incredible amount of time to take our order and rude

One of Manchester's best for a good steak!

Amazing food and wine great service fab place to catch up with friends
