Having started off life in Picadilly, Gaucho now boasts sites across London, allowing diners to enjoy Argentinian steaks and fine wines in Hampstead. Located just around the corner from Hampstead Underground Station, and moments from the green forested expanse of the heath, Gaucho Hampstead is a refined spot to enjoy a couple of afterwork drinks, or an indulgent lunch or dinner.
Gaucho Hampstead offers dining for all occasions, from special birthday steak treats to casual Sunday family outings for an indulgent roast dinner. Inside, you can expect all of the group’s usual touches, with sleek interiors that showcase eye-catching details from gold touches around the bar, plush, velvet seating, and shelves stocked full of bottles of Argentinian reds. The restaurant features a stunning courtyard terrace complete with a traditional Asado fire pit, making for an idyllic al fresco spot, which is used all year round. You can look forward to delicious barbeques in the summer or warm up by the fire in the winter, as you feast on hearty prime cuts of beef.
Menus showcase Gaucho's bold flavours, with everything from a classic a la carte, and set lunch options, to bar bites and pre-theatre dining. The whole experience feels wonderfully authentic from the starters of buttery, crumbly beef and olive empanadas and sea bass ceviche to the great selection of meats. When it comes to the steaks, you can expect well-sourced Argentinian, free range premium Black Angus meats from the Pampas province, available in sirloin, ribeye, rump or fillet cuts. Be sure to opt for plenty of sides, toppings and sauces for the full experience.
The chateaubriand or the Gaucho sampler are superb for sharing, or for those who can’t make their mind up and want a bit of everything. Polish off your evening with a dulce de leche cheesecake with buckwheat crumble and confit cherries, or a chocolate torte with caramelised hazelnuts and ice cream. The wine list is also impressively one of the largest collections of Argentinian booze outside of the country, so there’s bound to be an option to suit every taste.
