    I came here with my friends and I’m so impressed! The customer service was great and the food was amazing. As we were a group of 5 we ordered quite a lot of things and shared it to have space and WOW the food exceeded my expectations. The quality of the food is definitely worth the price.

    Just WOW!!! This place is absolutely amazing. From the atmosphere the staff and the food. It was absolutely amazing. The woman looking after us was really friendly and gave us recommendations that didn't disappoint. The food was something else. I've never had a steak like it. Definitely worth a visit if you're near. I'd highly recommend booking a table.

    5/5 for service 5/5 for ambience 4/5 for mocktail drinks 3/5 for steaks 3/5 for pricing: This rib eye has not pretty rich fats on it, kinda more like a sirloin and tenderness could be improved. But tastes are good though. Overall very friendly and warm service. Steak could be improved.

    Upon arrival, we were told that our table wasn’t ready and asked to wait in the bar. We decided to have a glass of wine while waiting, but unfortunately no one came to us during the 25 minute wait. Based on their reaction, it seemed that they forgot to inform us when our table was ready. The reception staffs could use some improvement. But overall food was great.

    Wow! We had the most incredible experience at gaucho. We went for the bottomless brunch and honestly I’m speechless at how good it was. The food was to die for. You get lots of different appetisers to try. I fell in love with the empanadas! Then you get to choose your main and your dessert. I chose steak and chips, Pete got a burger. And for dessert I had the most decadent and gooey chocolate brownie I’ve ever tasted and pete had delicious caramelised banana pancakes! Honestly incredible! The free flowing booze (up to 8 each!) is also insanely good! I especially enjoyed the option of sparkling wine. Highly recommend for a date night! The decor is also immaculate as it was an old church so it’s got High ceilings and they’ve decorated it in the most modern way!

    We had a fantastic dinner at Gaucho celebrating a special occasion. The restaurant is elegant and top class, with a great atmosphere and live music. The food was delicious, especially the steak and the sauce. The presentation was beautiful. The service was impeccable, thanks to Marcello, who was very attentive, friendly, and professional. He made us feel special and even brought us a complimentary dessert with a candle for my wife. It was a lovely gesture that we really appreciated. We had a memorable evening, and we will definitely come back. Highly recommended!#LoveGaucho❤️❤️❤️

    We went Gaucho Manchester before Manchester City match with hospitality package. Their foods quality was much better than our expectation. We are living in South America now. We know Argentina cusine quality. So, we can say clearly Gaucho steak is amazing. The service and server were also excellent.

    This was a very indulgent dinner on a Thursday at Gaucho🥩 To start we shared the Beetroot Tartare with mango “yolk” and the Seared Diver Scallops. Both were delicious however I felt the beetroot did have a rather over powering onion taste to it and couldn’t quite pick up on the mango sadly. The scallops were perfection and would order them again! When it came to the main event…the meat…we opted for Tira De Ancho, which is Ribeye steak spiral cut with chimichurri cooked medium 🤤 as well as the Colita De Lomo a fillet tail cut (sadly no longer available on the menu)…medium rare…perfection! We ordered a variety of sides which complimented the meat and for dessert we shared the Salted Dulce De Leche cheesecake…rich and decadent. Our server was super attentive and knowledgeable and made sure our drinks were topped up and offered their recommendations, one being the prawns for the side of the steaks…a major hit from me! This is definitely a place to go for a special occasion as it is on the priced side of restaurants in Manchester, but it’s been a staple in Manchester for decades and it shows by the consistent quality in food and service.

    Cannot fault this place, Marcello the server was absolutely brilliant, this is the 2nd time we have been and will definitely be back, every bit of service given is tailored to the individual customer! It was my 21st birthday and was made very special! Few pics attached, the starter was to die for! Absolutely would recommend!!

    Been here a few times service and food is always on point and secure parking round the corner from the venue. This occasion we sat in the private area, the dining table is located behind glass doors and windows where the wines are stored (beautiful setup), its not isolating either as you can see out onto the dining floor. I was worried as I thought the waiter may forget to check up on us as we we're out of sight; so to speak, but he was so attentive. The food was beautiful and cooked to perfection, only issue with food was the mushrooms, as a side dish you'd expect a small bowl but we received literally two mushrooms (white plate) however they were really tasty, I'd order them again. 5 out of 5 highly recommend.

    Still an amazing place to get steak. Beautiful cuts of meat and an amazing wine menu. We went late on a Saturday night and the music wasn't quite to my tastes! And they turn over tables at an incredible speed, we sat next to about four different couples! We weren't rushed though. Tables are very close together now, so the atmosphere isn't that relaxed when busy.

    I have had steak countless times but the one I had today was excellent and in fact perfect!!!! Georgia ( I don’t know if the spelling of her name is correct) served us. She took her time to help us make our choices. You can also choose the size of the steak you want. Bread was served before the main course, it was so hot and delicious, I had to request for some takeaway 😦😀. The restaurant is so beautiful, I love the aesthetics 🥰. I had a really great time. I could not finish my dessert, I was too full. It’s a bit pricey but it’s worth it.

    Loved our experience at Gaucho. Some items were not photographed as it was all gobbled up too quickly! Place is lovely and the service excellent. Honestly, customer service is top notch; our waiter was very helpful, welcoming and friendly. We had the fillet and another type of steak recommended by staff. We got a side of truffle mac & cheese, chips, and rocket salad which were all very delicious. The cheesecake dessert was the best we ever tried & the brownie was average to be honest. Theres a lovely selection of drinks that is inclusive of those who do not prefer alcohol as well. It was a fantastic experience & we will definitely be coming again.

    My husband bought me here for our anniversary dinner and the staff were so polite ! Great communication between staff members. We were served by a lovely lady named Laura who helped us meet our dietary requirements (halal), she gave us a range of options to choose from explaining what was halal and what wasn’t. Came back to check in on us many times refilling our glasses each time ! Extremely thoughtful and caring for their customers. We didn’t even ask and Laura had bought out a beautiful tray that read “Happy Anniversary” which was such a sweet gesture. It added such a beautiful, personal touch to our visit. Would 100% recommend to family and friends ! Thank you Laura and the Gaucho team for making our visit super special ! 🫶🏽xx P.S - Steak was cooked to perfection and my husband is now entirely obsessed with pandebono !

    The atmosphere and interior of the restaurant were amazing and impressive! The experience was positive until the end. The waitress messed up our order and the bill came back double the price of what we ordered. When we raised the question, she and her manager came to sort the issue but they were making it quite clear it’s our fault. It took a while to sort out and we missed the beginning of our event that we booked after the dinner. The food was nice and well presented, but the medium well done steak we ordered came as really well done and hard to chew.

    We had an amazing evening here! Visited with my family for my birthday and the service from Peter was outstanding - he was very attentive and friendly. The food was lovely, 4/5 of us had the rump steak and we all loved it.

  • 5/5 Holly T. 3 months ago on Google New
    Overall I had a lovely meal here for my birthday recently. The beef bar sampler was absolutely perfectly cooked and flavoured. Cannot fault the food at all! The service is equally as good as the food, polite, friendly and professional. Will always revisit Gaucho when in Manchester, its a perfect spot for what I would describe as a high end dinner (my opinion based on places I dine). The building and decor are absolutely stunning. Little warning in case anyone isn't aware; when they ask if you want bread when you sit down, this is not complimentary (which I've experienced in lots of places), this will be on your bill. As will bottles of water at £5 a bottle. Absolutely my mistake as usually expect tap water to be free, didn't think about the fact it would be bottled water. May be common sense for most but worth mentioning in case anyone makes the same mistake I did! £10 on water feels a bit ridiculous regardless of where you are! All things considered I absolutely loved it and will be back in the future. Gaucho know how to do good food!

    The food was amazing and the atmosphere was great. The live band played beautifully. My wife and I had a great time.

    This was my first time at Gaucho, Manchester, and it did not disappoint. The service was excellent, and our server was very attentive and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was fantastic and the food was incredible. I ordered the Wagyu Sirloin and it was quite simply the best steak I've ever had.

  • 5/5 Callum B. 8 months ago on Google
    The chateaubriand was incredible. The service was warm, friendly, attentive and Marcello provided fantastic advice on which wine paired best with our dinner choice. Would definitely come back again.

  • 5/5 Darryl B. 1 year ago on Google
    Top quality. I'm not a fan of red meat as much as before, so when I do I go high end, and this did not disappoint. Probably the best steak I've tasted since when I visited Sardinia many years ago which also happened to be an Argentinian steak house.

  • 5/5 Silviu A. 11 months ago on Google
    This is the Fine dining I was looking for Very profesional staff and good quality food. Huge Wine list and very good steak too. Music not loud and you can't even hear people around you where usually chefs screams a lot but not here. Is 1 of my favorite place and I am coming twice a month for the service I get! Well done to the owner who truly has trained the staff and they know what they doing!

    A wonderful evening, great service. Cocktails were delicious and the steak superb. The children enjoyed their burgers too. Ambience was fantastic with live music. A fabulous Thursday evening celebration. And right next door to our showroom. Very handy.

  • 5/5 Qasim A. 8 months ago on Google
    We went for a birthday meal, and safe to say the service was excellent and I honestly cannot critique it in any way whatsoever. The service from Marcello was nothing short of excellent, his recommendations was bang on the money. For starters we got burrata and Beef empanadas which was both sublime and so full of flavour, mains we got a sirloin 500g steak, and a wagyu burger which once again was excellent and not a bad word to say, even the sides was great, and did not expect the birthday cheesecake so thank you to the team for that. It might be pricey but it is definitely worth the money for the experience and quality of the steak and food in general.

  • 5/5 Costas M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great restaurant with a very pleasant environment and great food. My steak was cooked to perfection, and the side dishes were also delicious. There are not many places you can enjoy a good steak at a good price. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Adrian B. 1 year ago on Google
    Had diner here on Friday night; stunning environment, friendly excellent staff and the food was astonishingly good. The bill worked out at c.£100 per head but that included aperitifs, a bottle of wine plus coffees for 3 of us. Would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 JHigg 1 year ago on Google
    Impeccable service from entering the door to leaving, exactly what you would expect from a restaurant like this. Staff are prepared to go above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. Steak was also fantastic and the spinach was to die for. Looks small from the outside but you'll get a surprise when taken to your table! If being picky it was quite loud inside but each to their own for that, will definitely be back. 6 stars.

  • 5/5 Wasim I. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent food and service yet again. Had a table for two booked and were welcomed by the lovely staff at reception. We started with the bread selection. Baked fresh and warm with the chimichurri dip and warm butter. We opted for the 300g sirloin steak (halal). Macaroni cheese, half lobster and chips were our chosen sides. All were seasoned and cooked well, apart from the macaroni cheese which was over cooked and the pasta was far too soft, but still tasted great. Chips were extra crunchy and the lobster nice and moist. Dessert was a giant portion of the pear and apple tart tartin. The scoop of vanilla ice cream was a nice touch and finished off the meal in style.

    Went with my partner on Valentine's Day and had an amazing experience! Was served by a lovely lady (I believe her name is Anna) who was very friendly and sweet. The food there was amazing quality and the restaurant was beautiful! Very expensive but very worth it! Would definitely go again!

👍👍 I was craving curry during my stay in Manchester. And Google suggested this place to me. It's in the centre, almost 6 minutes away from my hotel. The interior design is very hip and it has a great vibe. The music that is being played is modern. The curry was amazing. And the prices were perfect for...
