About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
  • Good for business meals
Just a short stroll from Waverley Station and steps from St. Andrew Square, Gaucho Edinburgh is our first restaurant in Scotland, bringing the finest free-range, grass-fed Aberdeen Angus beef from Argentina to the heart of the city.

We proudly celebrate Scottish produce, working with Campbell’s Meats, the world-renowned IJ Mellis cheesemonger and Mark Murphy fruit and vegetables. Of course, we have a cocktail using Irn Bru and are pleased to serve Stewart’s Craft Lager, brewed out of Loanhead.

    The food was excellent, Sara the waitress couldn’t be better. Everything turned out in a such great experience. We Brazilians love steaks and understand about barbecue, it was the same feeling as if I was having meat in my home country. I would definitely recommend 🙏🏻😍

    I wasn’t given a proper steak knife, and during the meal, I couldn’t find the waiter to report any issues — she never checked on us once. The wrong sauce was served instead of the one I ordered, and when I mentioned it after finishing my meal, the only response was that the sauce was free, even though I had clearly ordered something specific. Only one side was included with the steak; you have to order everything else separately. While the quality of the meat was good, the overall service needs serious improvement. It was the worst £95 per person I’ve spent — I’ve had much better experiences in the area for the same price, often even including wine. The 12.5% gratuity charge was absolutely not deserved; it would have been much fairer if they had deducted 12.5% from the total bill instead.

    another 5 star experience at Gaucho. The minute you walk into Gaucho the beautiful aroma hits your nose and your escorted downstairs to a beautiful decorated restaurant. Service was 5 star, very attentive. Food again was 5 star. I can not fault Gaucho. you feel taken care off and never rushed. highly recommend Gaucho.

    Two for dinner, dining on April set menu (3 courses £25) a bargain given the quality of food. Restaurant was busier than we expected for a Monday night, service was slow to get started but excellent when it dud. Really enjoyed our dinner.
