Square Meal Review of Garufa ?

You’re likely to get a warm Argentinian welcome at Garufa. It’s the sort of place where staff happily light candles for the big ‘ta daa!’ moment on the birthday cake your sister brought along. The food isn’t bad either, as owner Alberto Abbate (of Buen Ayre & Santa Maria del Sur fame) knows his beef. Sitting in the relaxed, homely space, you could opt for pincho de calamares (squid) or bife de atún (tuna), but that would be missing the point. Prime South American meat is the draw, so choose your slab of rump, rib-eye, sirloin or fillet (at 225g, 300g or 400g), then add moreish sides such as chunky chips with garlic & parsley, or grilled provolone cheese. Beefy reds dominate the wine list, & there are cocktails & bottled beers, too.

    What a little gem!

    Not the best location as there are no decent bars to go to before within walking distance but this little authentic Argentinian steak house is worth the taxi fare.

    Run by an Argentian who knows his cuts and how to cook them! Puts Goucho to shame and the prices are really reasonable!

    It can be a little subdued earlier in the week but Thursday to Saturday the place is normnally good.

    They have the most wonderful blackpudding and chorizo as a starter and the shared platter for two (which gives you little cuts of all the steaks) is a great deal and wonderful way to try all their steak cuts; but be warned you'll not need any sides as it is BIG!

    Wine list is varied and the staff helpful and pride themselves on services!
