Looking for a Christmas party venue in Edinburgh where great food and drink are guaranteed? Popular Argentinian steakhouse Gaucho Edinburgh is just the ticket. Located just a short walk from Edinburgh Waverley Station, overlooking St Andrew Square, Gaucho’s Argentinian steaks, premium wines and glamorous interiors are perfect for a festive bash. Home to a wealth of private and semi-private spaces, it can accommodate groups large and small for both seated and standing events.
The Wine Room is its most intimate option, able to seat up to 14 guests. Seeing as wine is an integral part of Gaucho’s offering, you’ll get the chance to see some of its most premium bottles close up, with all four glass walls loaded with the restaurant’s signature bottles.
The upstairs Bar is a more relaxed option, able to host up to 40 standing guests. Hire this space for a canape and drinks reception or a pre-dinner tipple, before moving into the dining room for the main event. The bar boasts views of St Andrew Square through the window, and you’ll be allocated a dedicated team member to manage your event on the day.
Finally, the restaurant is available for semi-exclusive hire for up to 40 seated guests. Big moments require big spaces, after all! It’s also possible to hire the restaurant exclusively if you prefer – speak to the team if you’re interested in this option.
At the heart of Gaucho’s menus are its 100% Argentinian pure-bred steaks, although the menu offers a range of options to cater for all guests. There are a selection of private dining menus to choose from, or go the extra mile with something bespoke. These include classic, signature, feasting, sharing and canape menus. For a taste of what to expect, examples of dishes on the classic menu include a beef and olive empanada to start, followed by sirloin, chips and chimichurri for main course, and hot cookie dough with dulce de leche for dessert. No pre-order is required.
