Enormous and gloriously flash, Gaucho’s Manchester outpost is housed in an old converted church (complete with the organ in situ) that’s now a shrine to Pampas-reared Argentinean beef and much more besides. This luxurious steakhouse is right in the centre of Manchester’s Deansgate, making it easy to get to from public transport links and taxis.
The split-level dining room bears all of the group’s swanky hallmarks, set amidst glittering chandeliers, glass-panelled Art Deco ceilings and swathes of black-and-white cowhide. There’s an open kitchen too, and you’ll spot plenty of references to Argentine textures.
The Gaucho Manchester menu kicks things off with starters like refreshing sea bass ceviche, tiraditos, meaty empanadas, spiced scallops, and Gaucho’s signature Argentine prawn cocktail. Then, make your way through a fantastic selection of steak cuts, all of which come from premium Aberdeen Angus cattle grazing freely in the vast Pampas region. Whether you opt for sirloin, ribeye, rump, or fillet, all come with lashings of chimichurri, and a choice of chips, creamed mashed potato or green salad.
You’ll also find a host of marinated steaks, from a mustard seed and black pepper fillet to chipotle ribeye. If the choice is too hard, Gaucho has an answer: just go for The Gaucho Sampler, replete with sirloin, rump, ribeye, and fillet. Desserts, meanwhile, offer up the group’s classic puddings, so think dulce de leche cheesecake, chocolate brownies with ice cream, and pancakes with banana split ice cream.
Great for birthdays, celebrations, client entertaining, Gaucho comes with an air of prestige. That said, you’ll also find incredible set menu deals for lunch and dinner, plus cocktail hours everyday, and a BOYB Monday offer.
