With several locations throughout London, it stands out as a must-visit for steak lovers, featuring premium cuts sourced from top suppliers and expertly prepared by talented chefs. I had the wonderful opportunity to visit Gaucho Broadgate with my partner, and we were in for an evening we would never forget. Nestled close to the vibrant Liverpool Street, this restaurant is a true culinary treasure, offering not just fantastic food but also an impressive selection of drinks and a stylish atmosphere that’s perfect for special occasions. As we walked hand in hand through the lively East End our eagerness heightened as we neared Gaucho Broadgate, greeted by its breathtaking all-glass exterior shimmering in the city lights. Once inside, we were captivated by the lively yet intimate vibe of the top floor before making our way down the elegant spiral staircase, where the mezzanine offered a peaceful retreat. The décor was visually stunning, inspired by the beautiful landscapes of Argentina, featuring rich textures and warm hues that created a sense of comfort and luxury. As we settled in, we kicked off our experience with the delightful Kiwi Gimlet Cocktail made with Roku Gin, kiwi cordial and a citrus blend, while the attentive staff guided us through the menu. We were eager to dive into the diverse selections, celebrating Argentinian flavours crafted with the finest ingredients and presented with artistic flair. The team even showcased a steak board, allowing us to see the various cuts available before making our selections. We started our meal with the Seared Diver Scallops, beautifully prepared with Nduja butter, aguachile verde and a sprinkle of lemon crumb. It was a delightful beginning before we moved on to our main courses. I loved the Dry Rubbed Spatchcock Chicken, served with a zesty kiwi and lime hot sauce bursting with flavour, perfectly complemented by creamy mashed potatoes. My partner was thrilled with the Churrasco De Lomo Steak, a spiral-cut beef marinated in garlic, parsley and olive oil, paired with Truffle Dauphinoise—layers of potatoes baked in truffle cream that was simply divine! Each bite was a celebration of flavours. The wine selection was just as impressive, showcasing a variety of exquisite wines that paired wonderfully with our dishes. We chose a bottle of Pommery Brut Royal, a lively and delicate wine with delightful berry notes. For dessert, I couldn’t resist the Dulce De Leche Cheesecake topped with dulce Chantilly cream, hazelnuts, buckwheat crumble and confit cherries, while my partner indulged in the Chocolate Torte, which featured a rich chocolate biscuit, coffee, dulce de leche cream, caramelised hazelnuts and vanilla ice cream. We wrapped up our meal with a Strawberry Negroni that was truly invigorating! It combined The Botanist Gin infused with freeze-dried strawberry, Lillet Rosé, Campari, Amaro Santoni, Fernet Branca, and homemade fresh strawberry cordial. Throughout our dining experience, our waiter was incredibly attentive and professional, making us feel truly special. He made us feel comfortable from the moment we sat down, ensuring we had everything needed for a delightful experience. I can honestly say it was the best meal I’ve ever had in the UK, thanks to the stunning setting, exquisite dishes, expertly crafted cocktails and romantic atmosphere.
