Gaucho Chancery Lane - (Near Westminster, South East)

5 /5 Isabella Chulu: I wanted to take a moment to recognize Salima for her outstanding service during my visit last week Tuesday At Gauchos Chancery Lane for a work lunch. Even though she mentioned she’s only been working here for about a month, her professionalism, attentiveness, and warm personality made it feel like she’d been part of the team for years. It’s rare to see someone so new already delivering 10/10 service you can tell she genuinely cares about her guests and represents your restaurant beautifully. You should be proud to have her on your team! She took amazing care of my friend and I. She had even remembered i mentioned saying it was my friends birthday and to our surprise she brought in a brownie and ice cream to celebrate. She had even remembered how picky we were about our food so knew you can’t go wrong with a brownie! I ask that the restaurant please forward on this message to Salima as she deserves this praise. She made our whole experience feel special. Service like that really stands out, you’ve got a real gem on your team!

5 /5 Ray K.: We spent New Year’s Eve at Gaucho and enjoyed a solid meal the milanaise and the fish were both well prepared and flavourful. Service from Renato stood out; attentive, warm, and genuinely invested in making the night feel special. The only drawback was our initial table placement right by the door. With the cold weather, it was uncomfortable, but the team handled it gracefully and found us a better spot mid‑supper, which made all the difference. Overall, a great place to celebrate, with good food, excellent service, and a team that knows how to turn a hiccup into a smooth evening.

1 /5 Gastronomía Europa: I must say it has been many years since visiting a Gaucho restaurant and when we were recently in the city and wanted something a bit more premium than pub food thought Gaucho steak and chips the perfect solution. We arrived 6.30 pm were greeted at reception with glee and straight away there was a premium mood set a fine welcome , no reservations but were shown to one of many free tables . Loved the open kitchen vibe but the decor is like stepping into a glammed up 1970’s Starsky and Hutch set long gone are the hide seats and the true Argentinian vibe that was in my memory bank . Rump steak 300g ordered MR came rare and I wasn’t ready for the gelatinous texture of the meat or the flavour and aroma , fermented aroma slightly livery and unpleasant. Then the penny dropped having spent a decade eating melt in the mouth British dry aged beef and most recently a Spanish dairy Rib eye on the bone , this is just not in the same league this Frozen Argentinian imposter steak does not make muster . Most disappointing was the bearnaise sauce a favourite essential with steak . This poor poor attempt was free of any tarragon flavour under seasoned bland and was completely split the worst bearnaise I have ever had , in fact not bearnaise at all . Chips were unremarkable frozen fodder no attempt at triple cooked here !!! and the tender stem broccoli was closer to raw than al dente . Service was attentive and pleasant and efficient throughout the meal although there was no check “is everything ok with your meal “ which surprised me , our server was excellent. Chocolate brownie arrived as a cold slab was dense and cloying ( 15 secs in microwave would solve this come on guys !!! ) the ice cream some flavourless factory churn did not help . Honestly I was left gobsmacked. Glass of Argentinian Merlot was full of fruit and was what it said on the tin and the highlight of what was a completely disappointing meal . This was a lesson learn sorry Gaucho not for me but I wish you all the best.

5 /5 Lidia Harding: Just had a fantastic lunch! The set menu was a total hit, especially the prawns—they were absolutely delicious. The team were super friendly, checking in to make sure we were enjoying our meal, and a warm farewell. Everything from the clean space to the quick service was spot on. Highly recommend popping in for a bite!

2 /5 Ilaria Iacobini: Below average food for the price charged. We ordered sirloin steaks with different cooking times and they all were the same, we couldn’t tell them apart. 52£ for the steak in the picture that came with nothing , not even a garnish. The waitress kept hoovering around us while we were trying to eat . The place is dark and was cold. We will not go back .
