Gaucho Canary

Sitting pretty on Canary Wharf’s riverside, this revamped branch of the popular Argentinian steak chain continues to draw local workers in their droves with its stunning selection of steak, professional service & vibrant atmosphere. Bathed in dim light, the dining room is a sexy spot filled with cowskin-covered chairs & retro lampshades. The extensive menu features poultry, fish & veg dishes, but it would be a travesty to come here & not taste the beef. Our favourites steaks are the marbled ‘ancho’ (rib-eye) & melt-in-the-mouth ‘lomo’ (fillet), though you can try all the different cuts on the Gaucho selection board (150g of each). Ceviche (including the ‘fire & ice’ – lobster & king prawns served in a martini glass with a coconut & chilli dressing) is a light way to start a meal, & the dulce de leche (caramel) fondue an indulgent way to finish. The excellent if pricy, all-Argentinian wine list is a further plus.
