Gaucho Piccadilly is the flagship of the Gaucho group, housed in a striking townhouse just off Regent Street in London’s vibrant West End. With excellent transport links via nearby underground stations, buses, and taxis, it’s a convenient and central destination for those seeking a refined Argentine dining experience, whether for business meetings, client entertainment, or simply to sample some quality cuts of steak.
The interiors are a sophisticated blend of modern elegance and natural textures, drawing inspiration from Argentina’s dramatic landscapes. Rich brass accents and jewel-toned furnishings contrast with earthy hues and moody lighting, creating a stylish yet intimate atmosphere. Formerly the residence of the Spanish ambassador, the building’s heritage is reflected in its grand design and layered character.
First established in 1996, the restaurant now covers three floors, including the ground floor dining room (which opens onto a covered terrace, ideal for all-weather alfresco dining), and a hidden courtyard and cocktail bar on the top floor, inspired by the vibrant bar scene of Buenos Aires.
The Gaucho Piccadilly menu showcases two of Argentina’s most-awarded exports, brilliant wine and premium quality grass-fed beef from the Pampas region. Diners can choose from a range of cuts, including ribeye, sirloin fillet, and rump, each cooked over an open flame and served with classic accompaniments such as chimichurri or peppercorn sauce.
There’s also a section of marinated steaks, such as spice-rubbed fillet medallions, Latin-marinated sirloin, and chipotle ribeye. Starters include empanadas, Argentinian prawn cocktail, ceviche, and seafood. Desserts, meanwhile, feature indulgent options like dulce de leche cheesecake, chocolate brownie with ice cream, and warm cookie dough made for sharing. Affordable set menus (for lunch and dinner), Sunday roasts, and a BYOB Monday deal draw in the crowds. Plus, the drinks list is equally curated, offering wines from Argentina’s Mendoza region alongside international selections, as well as handcrafted cocktails and non-alcoholic choices
