    We came to see the fabulous Diana Ross in concert at The O2. As a treat, booking The Gaucho at The O2 is a special occasion in itself. Our steaks were superb and the best Argentinian flavours that this establishment has to offer. The cocktails were wonderful too! The buzzy ambience and staff energy were equally great for a perfect evening! Highly recommended!!

    From the moment our party walked into this cozy, family-owned Costa Rican restaurant, we felt like we were being welcomed into someone’s home. The owners are incredibly warm and genuine, making sure every guest feels cared for. The service was impressively quick without ever feeling rushed. The peaceful, quiet atmosphere made it easy to talk and truly enjoy our time together—perfect for a relaxed dinner or catching up with friends. And the food? Absolutely delicious. We orderd yuca fritta and it came with three yummy dips. Patacon Jumpo couldn't be tastier. The real jackpot was Chifrijo - we licked out plates clean. Every dish was clearly made with love and tradition, and it was deeply satisfying. It’s the kind of place that reminds you how comforting and nourishing a good meal can be. Highly recommend if you're looking for a spot that combines heartfelt hospitality with authentic, unforgettable flavors. We'll definitely be coming back!
