GAUCHO in Southwark

We had a brilliant meal at Gaucho Tower Bridge for my 30th birthday and indulged in the pre-theatre menu. We found the atmosphere of the restaurant lovely, we had a brilliant view and the food was incredible - excellent value. The staff were really lovely, they acknowledged my birthday on arrival and even gave me a birthday card, which was a lovely touch. Will definitely return!

Beautiful view from my seat, excellent service, great atmosphere, delicious and divinal food. For start I had prawn chicharrons, main course seabas with aromatic herbs and spinach on side and as dessert alfajoles. Surely I will come back soon and I highly recommend 👌.

Delicious food, brilliant service especially from Joshua who even gave us a free cheese cake for me and my girlfriend’s anniversary! Overall an amazing experience and will highly recommend! Thank you!

We have just enjoyed a very nice meal, with exceptional service from Kris upstairs. We visited for my girlfriend's birthday, and we were recommended seats upstairs for even better views of Tower Bridge. We weren't disappointed, the views were great the steaks were perfect and the service from Kris was also perfect - he wasn't too overbearing but always knew when we wanted to be seen. Great friendly, professional service. Meals are reasonably priced with a good choice of food at reasonable prices. We would strongly recommend the restaurant. Thank you to Kris and the tattooed lady that greeted us - we'll be back!

The service from Giorgia was amazinh

A great establishment that has it all! Delicious food, a spectacular view, and excellent service (extra shoutout to our server Eman who will be discussed in greater detail later on). During our visit from the U.S. we got caught up in the typical tourist activities and it ended up being too late for most restaurants to serve us. As we shamefully approached Five Guys disappointed to eat our familiar American cuisine, we found a bustling joint to its left that proved to be the correct choice. What made our experience though, was our terriffic treatment and the fun/joyous atmosphere Eman brought to the table. He was very familiar with the menu and always polite and witty. This turned our impromptu decision to eat at Gaucho into one we will remember fondly, and be sure to return to for any repeat London visits, as well as recommend to any friends and family that may visit!

Wow, great venue, amazing food and fantastic staff !

Let me paint you a picture: We were on track to have a beautiful day in London... so much action packed into one day; however, our day ended late. This is where the trouble began. No restaurants were open past 22:00! Europeans and their good work-life balances. PFFT! Some even said they were open until 23:00, but after walking over to them, they said they were closed :(. Our last ditch effort brought us to Gaucho. On our walk over, we were all hungry and tired and ready for another disappointment. WE COULDN'T BE MORE WRONG. They let us in and didn't even seem annoyed when we came in less than an hour before closing. I wouldn't do that to a restaurant normally, but we were desperate. We sat down, and that's where we met tonight's hero. EMAN. EMAN? MORE LIKE THE MAN. THE GOAT. And I don't mean the ones in Wetton village... he was great from the start, anything from recommendations for food and drinks to jokes and even looking out for us when it came to the bill(with the conversion rates and all). He turned what would have been a disaster ending to the day to one of the best restaurant experiences of my life. The food was amazing, and the steaks were very well prepared. I recommend the empanada starters because the sauce is amazing. 100% recommend Gaucho by the Tower Bridge, and if you're lucky enough to see Eman, buckle in for a good time cowboy.

We had an absolutely amazing time at Gaucho’s! One of the few places in the area serving food past 9:30pm, we couldn’t have been more happy that we stumbled upon this gem. Cocktails were unique without being kitschy and all delicious (try the miso mango sour- not pictured). All of the food was extremely fresh and tasty despite us being one of the last groups in the restaurant that night. Our server, Eman, was also excellent and provided great recommendations for us. He was attentive and friendly, even at the late hour. We will definitely be back!

I always appreciate those pet friendly restaurants, this is definitely one of them. George is a gentle and lovely waiter. He has recommended an Argentina source for the rump and also served me a very crispy taco that was amazing. I was just a bit disappointed on the rump as I was asking for medium rare, and it came with overcooked. However, the cheesecake was fantastic. It was smooth, soft, and with tasty hazelnuts, as well as a big portion that can serve 2 persons. I will definitely visit again with my dog. He felt comfortable here and just fell asleep.

Ordered the sharing platter with a chateaubriand for four people with 3 bowls of fries and some brocoli, to make it healthy. Steaks were excellent as ever at a Gaucho but the fries were a bit cold and hard(hence 4 stars). Service was excellent.

Gaucho, a culinary gem! Food: exquisite! Flavours danced on my plate Service: impeccable. Attentive, warm, and friendly. Ambience: magical, cosy yeg elegant. Overall: truly unforgettable dining. Thank you Luca

We visited this restaurant for a special treat, with a reservation for two at 6 p.m. There were a couple of empty tables by the window, and we asked if we could be seated there. However, we were told they were already booked. By the time we left, those tables were still empty, and we were left wondering if they could have offered them to us, or if they were genuinely reserved for no-shows. It was a bit disappointing, as it would have been lovely to enjoy our meal with a view. As for the service, it was decent but not exceptional. While the staff was attentive when we first sat down, we had to wait a while before we could place our drinks and food order. It appeared that everyone was still preparing for service given we arrived at the beginning of the evening. We ordered two glasses of red wine and two different cuts of steak: ancho and Lomo, both cooked medium rare, along with side dishes of butternut squash and spinach. The steaks were cooked to perfection—flavorful and enjoyable. The portions of spinach and butternut squash were generous and tasty as well. We paired our steaks with two Argentine Malbecs, which complemented the meal beautifully. Overall, we'd definitely return for the quality of the steak, but we hope the service would feel more personal next time.

Really good food, amazing views!

I took my boyfriend here for his 22nd birthday and we had an amazing 5 star experience. The staff especially Eman had perfect customer service and went above and beyond to ensure his birthday dinner went smoothly. The food was sensational and the upstairs view of the London Bridge is unmatched! Would definitely come back here again.

Food was amazing and restaurant was stunning. Eman, our server, made the visit extra special. He was very attentive and helped us with all we needed and good recommendations. Would highly recommend!

This place is stunning 😍 food outstanding and staff, especially our waiter Josh

I had an exceptional dinning experience at gauchos, our server was Giorgio and she was very attentive and kind. Food was 10/10

As we always expect in a Gaucho restaurant we had amazing service from the moment we stepped in. The views in this one are spectacular, you can see Tower Bridge as you eat. We had the chateaubriand Sunday Lunch which was cooked to perfection and the fluffy Yorkshire puddings were worth the wait. Thank you for looking after my cowboy hat with the coats too I was worried about what I skipped do with. We will definitely visit again when we are in Southwark next

Went here for mother's day today. This was our first visit for a couple of years, have been many times before and usually get a good meal with a decent view. Extremely disappointed with the overall experience and unfortunately don't think we will return. Service was pretty slow. When the food did come the chips were luke warm, the broccoli was hard/cold and the mash potatoes were not smooth at all. My tira de ancho steak was tough and tepid, had clearly been left sitting for too long before being brought to the table. My wife's fillet steak was good, my sons food was also not hot, but still edible and meant we didn't have to wait for it to cool down to give to him. The replacement steak I was given took a long time to come and when it did both my wife and son had finished eating. No new chips were brought with the steak and no one asked if I was now happy with the food. I did ask for new chips and they never arrived. My wife had apple crumble for dessert which lacked flavour, the crumble was very underwhelming. Really dissappointed with the meal overall and not what you want for a mother's day meal. The only reason I gave 2 stars is that the restaurant has good views of tower bridge and we were given a good table. Also we were given a decent discount off of the bill for the problems without asking for one, however I would have rather paid full price and had a good meal. It's a shame because I have had many good meals here but I won't return or recommend based on my experience today.

Giorgia was the best host for our table, really detailed and understood how to navigate the menu with our Celiac diet as well as gave amazing recommendations for food and drinks and was spot on with the service.

Giorgia was the best host ever wonderful experience 100% recommend.

We had lunch at this restaurant. Everything was just wonderful, from start to finish. The service was top notch, the waiter JB was very nice. Smile, professionalism, pleasant light humor. We also wanted a surprise for our upcoming wedding, so they were happy to bring a cake with an inscription. We are very satisfied with everything, from the food to the service. Thank you

Found Gaucho just walking by. It’s a very nice place and has a great view of the Tower Bridge. Nacer was our server, he treated us very good and his service was great. I had the Lomo Al Diablo medium rare & is was served to perfection. For dessert I had the Dulce De Leche Cheesecake & it was one of the best cheesecakes I’ve had. Gaucho Tower Bridge is a must go if you are in London area. A reservation is recommended but I was taken without one.

Excellent Argentinian meat, beautifully cooked, tasty. Elegant, modern environment, in a strategic position. Very friendly waiter who looked after us all evening. I would lower the volume of the music slightly to communicate better. Absolutely worth going!

Amazing restaurant! Everything was great, specially the customer service by Victoria, she was really kind and professional, I’ll be definitely coming back soon!

Victoria served our table of 6 and she was truly exceptional. Super welcoming and helpful with menu choices. Will be returning.

Our server Victoria was great and really helpful. Very attentive and the food was great

Excellent breaded wagyu food, spectacular, and the quality and flavor of the meat were very good, although they missed the mark on one of the cuts. A nice touch was that they included a dessert for my wife's birthday. Impressive views.

Amazing experience! We’d booked a private room for an event and the service was amazing, the food was great and everything was perfect Forgot to take photos of the steak but I’ve attached my starter and the complimentary brownies

good atmosphere and tasty food, although at this price point i would rather visit nusr-et

Great food and lovely table host. Victoria made sure we had a lovely experience.

Excellent service and very friendly staff who went out of their way to make my birthday special.

The theatre menu is great value for money, really nice location, delicious food and our waitress Lucia was wonderful

Overall an okay experience - in terms of food, we had: - Wagyu Empanada (very good) - Provoleta (good) - Steak (tasted watery and was chewy) - Apple Crumble (good) We could also hear the chef screaming in the kitchen even though we were not seated right next to the kitchen.

Great food and amazing service!

Our waiter Eman gave very good service and gave us great recommendations for wine and food. It was amazing!

Great food and service from Eman, pleasant evening reasonable priced for the quality of food

5 star service, dog friendly. Great views and just overall a great place to have great food and fab cocktails. They couldn’t do enough for you!

I had a lovely evening! The food was absolutely amazing, and the atmosphere made it even better. The place was spotless, and the staff were super experienced and friendly. We got a lovely table with a view of the bridge, and to top it off, they surprised us with a dessert for my parents' anniversary – such a nice touch! I'll definitely be back!

So here’s the thing….if you’re booking this chain in London it’s more than likely because you’ve heard great things. The actual aesthetic of this specific restaurant is amazing- it’s clean, situated right by tower bridge- great views. My opinion may come biased because I am from the U.S: and I am in the same industry- however let’s start with the service- our server Ilona only came to our table 3x- for a “upper upscale” restaurant this is unacceptable. It’s almost Like she was just focused on wanting to go home: that’s not what service is about. You’re in the industry because you enjoy being of service to people and you like people but we didn’t get that from our server. She didn’t try to upsell us, we asked for recommendations and she didn’t seem like she cared enough to even give us solid recommendations. In full transparency our reservation was for 9:30pm and they close shortly after so it’s obvious that they were simply ready to go home. Now onto the steak- not seasoned well at all. Paid for a marinated steak that tasted like like it had the slight bit of marinade on it. Both our steaks came out LUKE WARM- i ordered a medium steak and normally I don’t complain about anything bc I know how this industry is but I cant stand lukewarm food. I was advised that it was Lukewarm bc my friend had went to the bathroom so it set under the heat lamp on purpose to wait for him to get back lol. So the manager offered to put it BACK on the grill- we all Know that’s not how this works- your solution should NOT be to cook my steak even further PAST my desired temperature. The only solution is to re cook it so that it is served HOT- so they put it back in the grill- it came back out well done. Overall disappointed in the level of the “well known” steak house. I’ve had better steaks in the United States from low tier steakhouses. But mostly disappointed with the level of service. The cocktails were nice though.

The worst experience ever…the service “-10”, the food “1”, no Argentinian wine in the Argentinian restaurant. Unfortunately do not recommend.

I arrived without a reservation, they welcomed me without any problem before sunset, the host kept my coat and gave you a card, the table had a view of the tower bridge, the meat was perfect, the Wine too and some sell it by the glass or jug ​​or bottle, not all of them are by the glass, the chimichurri is very good and the broccoli and fries accompaniments are very tasty, I would return yes, it is expensive but like everything in London, the miso mango sour appetizer with Greek yogurt surprised me, I would order it again

3 star as it took 90 minutes to serve our dinner.

The price don't cover the service

The only bad thing about my experience was, that they did not write " lettuce" and " tomatoes" on the description of the burger. So as you can imagine I was kind of upset to see such a masterpiece of a burger get ruined by tomatoes. (Yes I'm a picky eater).

Not good bread. Good meat. Price above average. Nice place. Don't take the chips.

Excellent lunch, I have been in London for 3 days BY FAR THE BEST FOOD, 100% excellent meats, very nice place, excellent staff, recommended it is not worth saving, enjoy the experience of coming.

Queríamos probar este restaurante después de la renovación, no nos decepcionó. Bonitas vistas del Puente de la Torre y el color y estilo de la decoración estaba bien equipada. La comida era sabrosa y los filetes se cocinaron perfectamente a nuestra petición. El servicio que recibimos de Zaklina fue excepcional. Sin duda volveremos.

Went here on Sunday for a Sunday lunch. It's not long reopened and it's hard to see why it was closed for so long. Not a lot of visible change to be honest. Anyway - service was ok - a bit slow but not great. Real problem was the food. It was OK. It was hot but no parsnips was a surprise. And a single Carrot! But the biggest issue was my beef was literally half fat. My guests was better - it was more meat than fat. Roast potatoes were a little too crispy. Overall - not bad, but not as good as my previous experiences at Gaucho where I had great steaks.

Excellent service food and ambience

We popped in for lunch and of course, we were not disappointed. Beautiful venue with a perfect scenic location. The dining experience was very good, with delicious food as always, and exceptional customer service. The staff were warm, helpful and attentive.

One of the best steaks I’ve had. Absolutely loved it. Will definitely be returning!!

I’ve always been a fan of Gaucho, love the steaks they’re absolutely delicious! Service is attentive and warm and had a great meal.

I went to Gaucho last week with my partner to commemorate valentine’s day. It was simply amazing, great food, very tasteful and very nice drinks. The service was fantastic. Staff checking if we needed anything and making sure we were being well served, I highly recommend this restaurant and I will absolutely come back.

All you need if you go to a steak place, just the way we asked the meat to be cooked, lots of option for sides and sauces, exellent service.

Very first time visiting Gaucho Tower Bridge. The refurbishments that have been made are amazing all across both floors. The top floor being my favourite with an elevated view of the London bridge from floor to ceiling windows. Also the cosy bar is ideal for a couple of drinks. Service was amazing. Everyone was super friendly and helpful and this begins from the hostesses who welcome you in. Margelys was our waitress and she was 5*. Always smiling , super positive and quite knowledgeable about the food and wines. The prawn chicarron is a must order. Best prawn ive had. Steak was nicely cooked. The beef tacos and beef empanadas were tasty as well. Yuca chips were a bit too salty for me but I don't like salt that much so subjective. For dessert, we had the apple crumble and chocolate torte. Nice blend of flavours on the torte, the crumble came piping hot which was to my liking. An amazing evening Will definitely go again

Came here for the members only reopening evening and myself and 2 friends had a great meal. Reggie was absolutely fantastic in regards to service definitely couldn’t fault him. My friends steak was rather overcooked for his liking but Reggie had it sorted in no time, also gave us a free drink was a nice gesture.

Restaurante acaba de re-abrir, tras las renovaciones. Excelente ubicación con vistas al Puente de la Torre. Gran ambiente, comida increíble (cocinada a la perfección) y personal excepcional (especialmente nuestro experto en filetes Gaz). Esperamos con interés nuestra próxima visita.

Newly Relaunched Gaucho Tower Bridge We visited Gaucho Tower Bridge during the pre-launch, which was a great experience—especially with 50% off food! The refreshed interiors are stunning, adding to the overall dining experience. The food was delicious and a big improvement from our last visit. I always love their bread, but they’ve reduced the selection to just two types, which was a bit disappointing. However, the marinated steaks were incredible—tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. We had the Churrasco de Chorizo and Churrasco de Lomo, both cooked perfectly. The apple crumble was a great finish! Our waiter, Gus, was amazing—so attentive and looked after us well. We dined during the day, so the atmosphere was more relaxed than the evenings I’m used to, but it suited us since we had our young baby with us. Overall, a great visit, and we’d definitely return!

Beautifully situated. Could see Tower Bridge from my seat. The food was excellent. Wasn’t a fan of the truffle dauphinoise, they were not as creamy as others i have had but not unpleasant. I was lucky enough to attend on the launch days with 50% off which made me feel even better when paying. I expected some glitches as it had only been opened for a few days but the service was top notch. Our waiter Zarko was excellent and very attentive. The decor is gorgeous, perfect for a date or a get together with friends. Would 100% recommend.

Nice view. Overcooked lobster tails, don’t get them.

Excellent lunch in this newly refurbished restaurant. Enjoyed every moment!

Amazing food, service and atmosphere. We'll be back!!

We had an amazing dinner with my partner on a Sunday evening as a treat! The food - and the steaks specifically - were amazing! Very tasty and we had very good recommendations from the staff on what to get as main courses. The manager Akis welcomed us very nicely in our table and the atmosphere in general was excellent. We also had an amazing red Argentinian Malbec wine which we loved as matched our food perfectly! We are for sure going back and we would undoubtedly recommend it to our friends and family! Nice view of the Tower Bridge especially if you are sat on the upper floor accompanied by a nice classic negroni!

Tuvimos un almuerzo increíble muy buen ambiente muy buen restaurante el equipo era muy agradable y amable el gerente Daniela era increíble y nuestro anfitrión de mesa Gaz viene con las mismas buenas recomendaciones sin duda volveremos

Amazing food, awesome atmosphere, and friendly service. I will definitely visit this place again!

Absolutely amazing food. Perfect ambience and brilliant service.

Fantastic food and service! I highly recommend the ribeye!

Amazing food. Amazing service. Best steak in London.

Great night! Delicious food and phenomenal service!

The vibe is very cozy and modern. The servers were really nice and were always checking if my table needed something. The food was good and the portions were definitely filling!

Great vibe for a Saturday night, the ribeye was stunning and the martinis are a definite! The new refurb looks great and that view of Tower Bridge

Best steak, great wine, impeccable service.

From the moment we're arrived everyone was very friendly and professional. Beautiful views of Tower Bridge and the steak is definitely the best in London. Well done Gaucho you are the best!

We had a lovely lunch following their refurbishment. Excellent food and service with stunning views. The staff paid special attention to our three year old daughter, making it a real experience for her. Would highly recommend.

Excellent service, delicious food made of high quality ingredients. The non alcoholic beverages were also great. Thank you.

The food is amazing as well as the service. The people are impeccably nice and make you feel comfortable. It’s also a very clean facility, thank you Gaucho!

Had exceptional dining experience with my girlfriend wt gaucho 2.0! The warm lighting, elegant decor, and soft instrumental music created an inviting and cozy atmosphere. Food was absolutely divine.5⭐. beyond expectations. I had burrata salad, prawns 🍤 as starter and chicken spatchcock and sea bass as main. It was so delicious. As a dessert, must try cheesecake and choco tartare. Mast recommended Thanks for looking after us♥️

Amazing service by Victoria, she had extensive food and wine knowledge. She looked after us so well and made us feel very welcome. Daniela the manager was superb, she went the extra mile to make our experience more memorable. We will be back very soon, highly recommend !

Imponerende sted med god service. Tjener gav mulighed for at se nærmere på kødet, inden man valgte sin ret. Super lækkert mad og dejlig vin. Hyggeligt sted som kan anbefales.

Good meal even if a little expensive. Quality service and friendly staff!

Quería amar más pero aunque volveré, esperaba que fuera mejor. La mayoría de la comida era a tiempo, algunos pedidos más lentos debido a la mezcla, pero todavía disfrutamos de nuestro tiempo juntos aquí. No tengo la culpa, simplemente no satisfizo pero el trabajo local en algún momento cuando fuera necesario así que volvería con los colegas. El personal es razonable, pero esperaba que hicieran un esfuerzo extra.

I remember coming here for my birthday dinner... They shoved us out at a certain time before we'd finished our food that they took ages bringing and made my gran cry. Never going to this rubbish chain again. Hawkesmore is where you need to eat steak

Great location with delicious food and good service!

Christina our server was lovely and so was the food! Will come again

Great good with a very good value for money set menu with three courses. Went just before the refurbishment… and felt the atmosphere felt a little crowded and noisy compared to other gaucho restaurants. This may have improved so am looking forward to going back again to see how it has improved. Of course this is an epic place to go for some amazing views while you dine.

Un amigo nos recomendó ir aquí para la cena. Buena vibra, buena comida y cócteles! ¡Una gran casa de carne argentina junto al puente de la torre! ¡Qué vista increíble desde el restaurante también! Empezamos con las empanadas de ternera y estaban muy sabrosas! Pedimos el filete y se derritió como mantequilla! Y como la pasta estaba en el menú, mi hija adolescente no pudo resistirse! El puerto deportivo era muy bueno teniendo en cuenta que estábamos comiendo en un asador! ¡Y era un buen lado con nuestro filete! Tomé el cóctel de flores de lichi y fue ligero y refrescante! Bonito lugar para nuestra primera noche en Londres! ¡Sólo me llevó 24 años volver!

Was close down and in google still say is open😑

El bistec era boca - aguadamente tierno, el maridaje de vino perfecto me fue sugerido por nuestro camarero encantador. Los postres estaban fuera de este mundo

Gaucho Restaurant offers exceptional dining with an elegant ambiance, mouthwatering dishes, and attentive service. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted warmly by friendly staff. The menu features a wide range of delicious steak cuts cooked to perfection. The service is top-notch, and the drink menu is impressive. Overall, Gaucho Restaurant provides a memorable dining experience and beyond great food they also offer a great selection of Wine. Highly recommended.

Buzzing atmosphere, great service and a spot on location with cracking views. Just extortionately priced for what is still a 'chain restaurant'.

Extremely noisy when your neighbour tables are filled with local businessmen, enjoying their beer and dinner. 1/3 of the sirloin steak was unchewable. Instead of deleting this steak from the bill, they only offered a free dessert which we rejected.

Been here for 3 course menu for Gaucho’s 30th anniversay, we had a great date night. Food was nice and delicious but nothing exceptional. Service was great and fast. I loved the interior design and decoration. Service is very high end and we had a nice view of tower bridge at night. The only thing which could have been improved was the food, and I found it expensive for what you get. However, I’ll like to go back and try one of their famous meat.

Pleasant experience having a lunch here. We booked a table in advance (a week) and asked for a table where we could fit in the stoller. We were given table with a view plus highchair for our little one, thumbs up. Food was nice as well as the service and atmosphere. Thank you.

Although very nice restaurant for meat! They were all but very high quality. The only thing I have to remark is that they had cooked our meat a little longer than we asked them to! The service was amazing and the atmosphere very nice!

Set menu had a variety and the staff were courteous and friendly

The venue is nice and overlooks the iconic landmark. The food is inconsistent and the service is lacking finesse and attention to detail. We've had 3 mistakes in one order . One was never corrected. I was not served broccoli with my main that I've ordered and after asking for it it arrived when my meal was nearly finished. My husband got wrong desert and I didn't get a coffee I've ordered with mine. I've asked for it twice yet it arrived after I've finished my desert. I like coffee with my dessert not after so at the end I didn't have it yet was charged for it. My steak was fairly chewy and not the Gaucho standard I'm used to. The desert lacked one component that it has in the other venue that tied the whole thing nicely. Day before we have dined at Gaucho in Richmond and the experience was so much better and the food was nicer. Tower Bridge venue lacks vibe and it's quite meh despite nice interior. I will make sure to go back to Richmond venue for sure but won't be back at Tower Bridge. I've invited my husband for a dinner which was my treat. I've asked the server for the bill and extended my hand to grab it yet he has given it to my husband. I've said no, it's for me and the server made a look which made my husband very uncomfortable. Quite weird. I didn't expect so many mistakes in one night. Not the worst night but not what I've expected after paying hefty bill. In my case service charge should be absolutely not added after 3 mistakes in one order.

Attentive service and great food, Good views of Tower Bridge/Thames

One of the waiters was not polite in the way he spoke to us.
