Steak was absolutely amazing. And wife loved her chicken. Recommend this place to anyone
My third home, i have cravings daily and rehab would not break me from The Chimi !
I'm lucky that my local Romeos Foodland Croydon stocks Gaucho's at Home so we can enjoy their aged steaks and their chimichurri sauce at home, Delicious.
Great Restaurant.
Truly Adelaide's Best Steak.
Staff are professional.
Service is the best.
Highly Recommend.
Lovely service at this place. I hadn't eaten here before else i would've known to order some sides with my steak. The scotch fillet does come with banana peppers but unfortunately I'm not able to eat them. The steak was lovely but probably cooked just a smidge longer than the requested medium rare.
I ordered the parillada mixta. I am of Argentine heritage so I thought I would try this restaurant out. The meat was very well cooked and did have a reminiscence of Argentine cuisine. However it did seem to have a European infusion to it as it lacked the smoky, salty lustre of a traditional paisano asado.
Muy bien!!! We arrived with no booking and they made us very welcome. We could see what we wanted in about 20 seconds of looking at the menu and were not disappointed. Mussels and meat platter were delicious!đ
Coming from Melbourne and loving food we have eaten at some of the best restaurants..
Goucho's is one of my all time favourites, the food and atmosphere is absolutely fantastic..
Diablo oysters and steak is just divine, staff were fantastic (even charged my phone for me haha) hreat atmosphere, we ate here 2 nights out of our 4 night stay in Adelaide
A must.

Visited here when my fiancé and I went on holiday to Adelaide. We enjoyed our experience here and the food so much; we went twice. Second time taking good friends of ours. Starters: the spicy oysters, were amazing. The balance of heat and an explosion of flavour we wonderful. The steaks were cooked to perfection, and the sauce and sides suited and balanced the dish. Everything from the waitstaff to the foods, it was a wonderful. We'll be back again.
My friend and I came for dinner tonight. Had ordered Salmon, New York Strip, mushroom salad and chips. Have to say the food is ok, but not flavourful. Especially the steak, which I asked medium rare, but some part of it are little bit overcooked. What I like most is the mushroom, pretty delicious. Overall the price is expensive. I'd recon Melbourne's steak for sure.
My new favourite restaurant to go to when in Adelaide. Wow oh wow. Argentinian food with a flare. This place had me wanting to dance the salsa I was so impressed. Very tasty food, great portions and great service. The mixed grill was not your usual 5 kilos of meat slapped on a plate. Quality cut of meats well presented and cooked to perfection. Great wine list to match. The highlight was the Argentinian cream brûlée. Honestly the best one I have had. This place is a must try.
Gaucho's has been on my list of restaurants to visit for a long time now and I was happy to finally visit for a special occasion. It's a little on the pricy side but all the food we had was of a very good quality. Their specialisation is steak and it's easy to see why. The steaks were perfectly cooked and tender, but the staff were careful to check whether we were happy with them or wanted them to be cooked longer (no way)! Fantastic wine and I loved the extra-large wine glasses. Salad was just okay. For desserts we had the churros and the creme brûlée and were glad we managed to squeeze them in. Quite busy even on a Sunday night so definitely a good idea to book ahead.
Food : Calamari, oyster natural, scotch fillet, fried broccoli with cheese and a desert whose name I forget (Dom somethingorother). Washed down with a local Shiraz. Steak cook perfect, loved the flavour and did not need sauce. The broccoli was something different, it's a must try.
Service: the wait staff are pros, they know what they are doing. Well looked after.
Well I use to come here in the early 2000's for quite sometime, when I walked in tonight it was such a pleasant surprise, refreshed, classy and full of life.
We were served by Wayne (expected something more exotic by name) and he suggested we go over to the meat window so he could advise us on the various cuts.
We started with the Parillada Mixta which is Argentine for Mixed grill.
Our server suggested some Papas Fritas and blue cheese with our mains delicious.
Then we were treated to the 200g eye fillet aged with braised beef cheeks and jus, we also had the 300g aged New York strip with roasted tomato and harissa.
Our wines came by the glass and were personally selected by our server, just sensational and a lot of fun.
We had mushroom and broccoli and fries and we are full to the max.
When it comes to steak houses this place is up there with the best, it's good, it's great and its unique.
Really pleased we came back!!!!
Excellent service, food and wine list. Being an Argentinian steakhouse, I had high expectation for Gaucho's and they certainly didn't disappoint. Their portions are generous and the downside to that was we didn't have any room for dessert. Will definitely come back the next time I'm in Adelaide.

The food here was delicious. The steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned, the chorizo was nice and spicy and the service was great!
We came here to celebrate my birthday. I enjoyed this place more than La Boca Bar and Grill, and the prices are only a little bit pricier than La Boca.
It's a fine dining restaurant and boy do they know how to cook their meat! All of the meat was soft and melted in your mouth. We loved the mixed grill and the lamb, but I would avoid the pork belly, it was 90% fat.
We only needed 2 entrees for a table of 4 as they were so large.
We were so full at the end but still ordered one serve of churros which was plenty for the 4 of us for dessert. Their churros are much better than what you get at San Churro.
All in all it was a very satisfying meal.
Amazing affordable quality steak! 3.8 def don't do its justice. That is why ppl stop using zomato. Moved to Melbourne for years and this is still on my best steak list.
I came here with my partner for the first time last week. We had some empanadas to start which I would definitely order again, they were delicious. Then I went on to have a steak with blue cheese sauce, and we shared a quinoa salad and some sautéed mushrooms as sides. All dishes were super tasty and top quality. I particularly loved the sides. The service was friendly and helpful. Would happily visit again for a special occasion, given it's on the pricey side.
I have visited this much loved Adelaide institution of several occasions. The meals were uneven; sometimes great, sometimes disappointing. The staff are mostly welcoming, particularly if you are a regular. If not, expect indifference for the most part.
Amazing piece of T-bone steak. Cooked perfectly, and the blue cheese sauce was amazing, and plentiful. Wished there was something other than chips on the side but the steak was good enough to make up for that. Would return
We visited here to celebrate my dads birthday! We were welcomed straight away; I brought in a cake and they were only to happy to look after it for me. We all ordered steaks; cooked to perfection; I tried the pork belly off the special board and that was simply moist and crackle was done nicely. Our waiter if only I could remember his name was fantastic; was very nice to us and offered any assistence he could. The cake was brought out after our meals; they took note of the birthday boy of the night and made sure he had a good time. The prices are reasonable for a place like this. We will be back; it is always nice when a special family occasion can go to a restaurant expecting it to be great the restaurant exceeding that! Well done :)
We came here on our last night in Adelaide based of a recommendation from our supervisor who suggested the Argentinean steak restaurant
This place is one of the best steak houses I have been to, very similar vibe to meat and wine co. in Melbourne.
The service was great as the staff were very friendly and helpful when it came to explaining the menus and helping is a choose a steak cut.
You start of with a trio of condiments which we ordered some sourdough to go with. We also ordered beef capriccio which was amazing, perfectly plated with cheese and pickles, the flavour combo was a mix of smoked meaty-saltiness.
We then ordered our mains, the aged rump with salsa verde sauce, cooked to medium rare and accompanied with a couscous salad, fat cut chips and a broccolini side dish.
The dishes were outstanding, the steak was cooked to perfection, the couscous salad was a good tasty way to cut the meat heavy meal, the broccolini added some green crunch to the dish while the fat chips as an added bonus to an already filling meal. The flavours all worked really well, and the smoked authentic Argentinian taste throughout the dishes was delicious.
Joe the owner of Gaucho's has hit it on the head. This restaurant is just amazing. We were walking past and looked at menu as we had not decide where to eat yet. A yound waiter (Sunil) discussed the menu with us. We decided to keep looking and moved on. Wasn't long and we went back as Sunil had us hooked.
Food is amazing and staff are very knowledgeable on whats on offer. The friendliest service I had seen in Adelaide. We enjoyed our meal and had great conversations with Joe and another waiter Luca. What a team. While on our honeymoon in Adelaide we made sure that we went back a second time so on last night we went again. I will be calling in again on next visit to Adelaide.
Luca is just an amazing person and knows his customers.
Thank you to Joe, Luca and Sunil for the great experience.
Now while walking down gouger street with a mate we wanted steak. So automatically we thought gauchos.
We ordered for entree the olives, and for mains the scotch fillet, and lamb loin. The lamb was beautiful, the steak was also well cooked. I would have liked to have seen some french mustards or more choices when coming to condiemts.
So above all food was great.
Now service was another story. While eating at a resturant and paying a peemium you expect a nice experience.
Our waitress did not seat us properly like the old days. Napkins are no longer laid across laps, specials were given to us buy a piece of paper. The girl lacked food knowledge, and wine knowledge. The returned three times due to forgetting the name of the glass of red my mate ordered. I noticed also that water glasses were attended to like they used to do. Once the waitress were waiting they congregated and chit chatted. And the lack of interaction was e, barrassing. I left feeling like I paid 150 dollars and ate a well cooked steak in a front bar of a local pub. now even though the steaks were cooked well I wasnt impressed by the cut itself. Majority of the steaks on the menu are found in hotels and pubs around adelaide and weres the Argentinean beef? Definately has dropped it game the only thing that has stayed consistant is the lack of service to people especially tables of two, due to the large table especially those with friends of owner are double teamed. I wont return at least this year, to a resturant I used to praise within my peers and my fellow chef mates.
When you think of steak you automatically think of Gaucho's Argentinian Restaurant at 91 Gouger St, Adelaide, however, they also offer an Argentinean menu that deserves to be explored. After our wonderful experience we now think Argentinian first when we think of Gaucho's. Tempting Palates was invited to try the Argentinian menu options and all food and drinks provided on the night were free of charge.Gaucho's has been an Adelaide institution for almost 30 years. Now that's longevity in the restaurant game!
It's an Adelaide institution when it comes to steaks. Those who are dinners will know the word Gauchos. When you walk in it talk of class and high standards and the foods across the menu are simply amazing. One place where it covers every occasion to its finest......... Bon appetite!
There are days when my husband and i both crave for a good seafood paella. I guess it often falls on one of these rainy and chilly evenings around this time of the year. In past couple of years, we have been going to c for seafood paella, but we decided to mix it up a bit and try at Gauchoâs Argentinian Restaurant.
We had Seafood paella for two (Paella De Mariscos). They kindly allowed us to order prior to getting there so we didnât have to wait for 30-40 minutes which was great.
Friends suggested Gaucho's for dinner, with a qualifying questions - you like meat don't you!!!! I was in meat lover's heaven. As you will see in some of the photos the lovely display case of meat.....mmmmmmmmmmmThe service was welcoming and friendly. My steak was delicious - flavoursome, cooked the way I liked it (rare) and was sooooo tender. My friends thought their meals were great (they are regulars). I was impressed by the quality and size of the serving and the knowledge of the staff of the menu and the wine list.The atmosphere was busy with full tables and an outside table in good weather would be a great experience, looking forward to a meal there in warmer weather.Highly recommend a meal here.
Best steak anywhere, and best chimichurra sauce going. Expensive, but you won't regret the wonderful meal you'll have. The fried halumi is divine. Just wish the goats leg was still on the menu :) This restaurant is a great special occasion place, if I want to celebrate this is where I go.
I love this place. Every time I go to Adelaide I head to Gauchos as it is consistently awesome, and I say this in relation to both food and service. You can feel confident that if you are hosting people they won't let you down or leave you embarrassed. I will also add that their sauce is amazing so be sure to try it.
Absolutely fantastic service and beautiful food! Well done to the team at Goucho's! Highly recommend giving it a go and make sure you buy some of their sauce when you settle the bill.
Fantastic food, from the oysters to steak everything was cooked to perfection. Highlights were the chorizo and fillet steak- all winner and no filler !Excellent service.
We came here on a Tuesday night and were surprised how busy it was. I ordered the lamb chops which were cooked perfectly and a great char grilled flavor. Very satisfying. The Waiter was very friendly and accommodating. He forgot one of our entrees so we got 1 free of charge plus a complementary dessert wine! Not bad! Would definitely recommend coming here
Really good food and wine. A little expensive though $624 for 4 people. Shared entrees and two bottles of wine. $6 for sauces on steaks that are already $40+
If you love your steak then this is the perfect place for you. Succulent, cooked to perfection and tasty, the steak is a must have. The service is professional and attentive and the atmosphere is great. Prices are hefty but the quality is of a high standard so you don't mind paying them. Can't wait to go again.
All I can say is "try the mixed grill". I was disappointed to see the ribs are off the menu but the grill was to die for. Services is a bit snobby for my liking but nevertheless a great meal.
My favourite place for steak, ribs, empanadas and churros in Adelaide! The service is always on point, however as a long returning customer I didn't like three changes that were made 1. The pear salad which was a must have now seems mediocre to its former self missing the greens and generous Parmesan it used to have. Last two times I've had it I've been disappointed. 2. Steak on a wooden board, please no! It's just messy, uninviting and where's my salad going to go? 3. Store brought chips, bring back the homey potatoes... Apart from that, I still love this place! Food comas every time, but must have the fluffy and delicious churros! All the desserts are heaven sent actually... Yum!
My birthday so I was treated to this gem, Let's firstly discuss the reputation this establishment has, it's known for steaks and the place to go to eat steaks. And yes it was impressive I had the New York styled steak topped with a exquisite blue vein cheese sauce which iced the steak perfectly, the steamed greens were not just plain as you would think It was full of different textures and flavours as well as the mushrooms and the parmesan salad.
And the service in this establishment also didn't disappoint and nor should it with the price you pay first class service.
The only thing that didn't please was the noise levels and also the fact there was no traditional rib eye.
When most people think of Gauchoâs, images of tenderly cooked steak and mouthwatering meats often come to mind. While Gauchoâs do serve great steaks, their roots lie in all kinds of Argentinian cuisine (not just meats!), and the new menu aims to deliver the best Argentinian food right here in Adelaide.
I finally made it into Gaucho's last night, an old Adelaide icon. I think I may have been here before as a child, but I'm not too sure. I always just assumed that I would be invited for a work function or a friend's birthday eventually, but it never happened. My girlfriend and I were a little apprehensive as we, probably unfairly, had a notion in our heads that this was an overly expensive restaurant that was aimed mostly at business people and the food could be a little disappointing. Yes, it is expensive, but I think we were both pleasantly surprised with the food and service.
Food:
We started by sharing the beef empanadas which were tasty and nicely cooked. There was a bit of a gap between entrĂ©es and mains but the restaurant was quite busy and we expected that since pretty much everyone is there for the same thing â steak. I had the NSW New York strip steak. I asked for medium rare, and it was pretty damn close, but in compass terms it was probably medium medium rare (being pedantic). My girflfriendâs dry-aged steak was cooked medium even though she asked for medium rare. With a dry aged steak I think itâs probably more crucial to cook it less. We both still enjoyed our steaks though. I had mushroom sauce on the side which was really nice but the steak probably doesnât need it to be honest. The peppercorn sauce wasnât the best, very peppery and not well balanced. The chips came out on a shared plate and they were delicious. Although we probably didnât need it, we would have liked to have seen a few more chips between 2 people. We also ordered the side of broccoli which was absolutely amazing. This morning Iâm still thinking about how perfectly that broccoli was cooked, itâs a fantastic side dish. We also tried the salad which was on the specials menu and was also really enjoyable. Call us crazy but the salad gave us flashbacks of eating a whopper from Hungry Jacks! The wine list is not too bad and we were treated to a complimentary glass of port at the end which was a nice touch.
Service:
We were greeted at the door promptly and taken out to the back room as we didnât have a booking. Our waitress was friendly and took good care of us. Iâm not sure her knowledge of the menu was as extensive as it could have been, she may have been new, but she certainly made up for it with her attitude.
Ambience:
The restaurant is always busy whenever Iâve gone past it. I would have loved to sat in the front room last night as it is slightly nicer than the back room with the view looking out onto Gouger and a view of the kitchen. The setting is simple and classic, but somehow it doesnât seem old and tired like some other established Adelaide icons.
Dish to look out for:
This is an odd one to pick at a steakhouse, but if you like broccoli that side dish is incredible.
A big boy's birthday and we decided Gaucho's would be a great place to celebrate this special moment. As we walked in, the restaurant looked really small and we were worried that it wouldn't be able to fit all of us. However the staff took us down this corridor which led us to the back which had more seating and the interior felt much nicer.
We were then quickly welcomed by the head staff, and he just unloaded a ton of information about the menu/specials. I'm pretty sure none of us could keep up, but he was quite funny and was keen to help. The menu were mainly steaks but that's what you would expect when it comes to fine dining. I ordered their mix grill, and majority of my friends ordered the different types of steak. They all ordered medium rare, but for some reason all of them were cooked differently. Some were more medium, and some were REALLY rare. Since I quite like rare steaks, so I didn't mind it and it was really juicy. The mushroom sauce that went with the steak is probably the best mushroom sauce I had. The mushroom was quite fresh, and the sauce went really well with the steak.
Then moving onto my actual dish, the grill was well presented and it had a variety of meat, hence my decision in ordering it. Each type was grilled to perfection, allowing the taste of the meat and charcoal to be evenly distributed. Normally I'm not a big fan of eating the fat on pork belly, but it was so good I couldn't resist!
Altogether, the experience at Gaucho's was fantastic and would definitely recommend to people who are searching for some great food and feeling like a high roller on the night.
If a restaurant is good enough for the prime minister to eat at, it must be absolutely phenomenal and Gaucho definitely lived up to that expectation! Immediately as we walked through the door, we were greeted immediately by a waiter, all of them dressed extremely sharp. We were lead to the back of the restaurant to a private area, where we were seated next to the table of the man the himself, Tony Abbott. Which was a pleasant surprise.
Onto the food, though the wait for long, it was totally worth it as the steaks were cooked to near perfection. the mushroom sauce glazed the steak in a way that brought out the true flavours of the steak. The chips that came with the steaks were also delicious being proper clean cut potato chips. Though I wis that there were more servings of chips as each person didn't get their own serves but it was all placed into a large bowl to share.
Overall the experience was amazing, and would definitely comeback again for a special occasion. Though the total cost of the bill was equivalent to the new iPhone.
No this isnât the start of a bad joke, itâs reality! Inevitably, in a group of dining companions there will always be one friendly vego. Thankfully Radelaideâs steak restaurants have cottoned on to this and have offerings to keep everybody happy. Invited by Neon Moose PR to preview the new summer menu, i put on my cowboy boots, raised my steak knife and moseyed on in. Yeehaw!
Admittedly, I am one of those people, born and bred in Adelaide yet Iâve never stepped foot into Gauchoâs. Itâs one of those places that has always been on my list, but with the constant stream of pop ups and openings of other new restaurants and bars, this Adelaide institute kept getting bumped down on the list for me. Well finally, Gauchoâs is now ticked off my list as we were invited to their new menu launch in conjunction with a neon moose blogger dinner event.
When you think of steak you automatically think of Gaucho's Argentinian Restaurant at 91 Gouger St, Adelaide, however, they also offer an Argentinean menu that deserves to be explored. After our wonderful experience we now think Argentinian first when we think of Gaucho's. Tempting Palates was invited to try the Argentinian menu options and all food and drinks provided on the night were free of charge.
For as long as I can remember, the name Gauchoâs is synonymous with being one of the original and best Argentinian steakhouses in Adelaide. The steaks are still outstanding, as is their patented chimichurri sauce, however, itâs not all that they do. Adelaide Food Central was invited along tonight, along with other guests, to sample some of the new offerings that are on their menu. All food and drink were provided free of charge.
This is the fourth time I've been here and each time has been as good as the last. Great fine dining experience at an affordable price! Great cosy, warm atmosphere. The fireplace is always a huge hit in winter.
Ordered the 250g rib eye which came with a serving of chips for the table and we ordered the pear and walnut salad as a side. The beef was succulent, tender and delicious. I did ask for my steak to be cooked medium well, but the server advised against this due to it being tough so I went with medium rare with no blood. There however was still blood when I cut into it, however the taste was so good I was able to overlook it. Salad was crisp, tasty and well seasoned. My partner also ordered a 'corona' beer and was pleased to see, was imported from Mexico.
Overall an enjoyable meal. Our table server was also friendly, knowledgeable and on point with service. I would definitely eat here again.

Gauchos has been a perennial favourite in Adelaide for years, and one of the finest Argentinian restaurants in the country. We believe Adelaide has the best Argentinian scene in Australia. The thing about Gauchos is you come here for the whole experience from ambience to service to the fine cuisine. This is about sexy meat, but not just sexy meat. While the steaks are massive here it isn't just about size. The cuts of meat are premium and they are cooked perfectly in the Argentinian style on the flaming grill. The sauces play a key role. Some of our happiest dining experiences in Adelaide have been at Gauchos.  Gauchos are of course the cowboys of Argentina!
Come for the steaks.. Yes the steaks are expensive...around $50. But totally worth it. A good place for that special occasion.
Excellent steak! It is beautifully cooked, and you can see why it's always full.
Come for the steaks, stay for the churros. Really a great restaurant for fine dining. Great attention to service and detail, all needs are looked after, staff well knowledged in the food and wine they serve. I had the scotch fillet with potatoes, medium rare - amazing, melt in the mouth meat with the right sauce to complement it. The potatoes were very tasty as were the seasonal veggies we ordered on the side.
For dessert, we had room as I skipped entree to keep room for dessert!, we had the churro and the fig creme brule. Oh so tasty, the churro's were just perfect, crisp on the outside, nice and soft on the inside with delicious caramel sauce for dipping. The creme brule was delicious, creamy and not too sweet.
A great experience, worth the price tag.
Brilliant food and atmosphere. My partner and I went for dinner on Saturday night.
On arrival we were promptly seated (we had reserved), and offered water and starters.
For our entree we had the mussels- amazing, with a bottle of fizzy white wine, followed by the porter house and the eye fillet for myself, and then espressos. All of the food was lovely- well worth the higher price tag. The atmosphere of the restaurant was just right, we had great service and we were seated outside. The staff are professional yet friendly, although our waitress who was obviously a newbee did drop a couple of swear words during service as she seemed nervous, but other than that it was a wonderful night. We will defiantly return and recommend.
Best Morcilla in Adelaide. Well what can I say about Gaucho's. They don't ever seem to disappoint.
Food wise they seem to be an Adelaide constitution especially for their highly sought after steak.
This time around we visited for my birthday. One of the very limited restaurants still open during the Christmas/New Year break.
We were tucked into a nice cosy corner. Ordered the wine from their extensive but favourable wine list. Only disappointment, no cucumber in my Hendricks and tonic for my starter drink.
We decided to have entrees aswell as a 350gm steak each. BIG MISTAKE. Unless you have been or Survivor or starving yourself on a deserted island, one or no entree is plenty.
The meat board was delicious but could do with more pickled or sour notes to break up the saltiness of the cured meats.
The anchovies was a major disappointment. Came out in a tin. Just seemed like they opened it up, chucked it on a plate and voila $15-20 in the bag.
The steaks came out with our sides and I ordered a special side of morcilla (blood sausage). WOW!! Steak was fantastic as per usual, but the Morcilla was mind blowing. I would have been happy with that times three.
Overall an enjoyable experience, not so enjoyable walking out trying to suck your gut in.
PRICEY!. I bet this is echo all over the review but I always had a good time here. I first stumble across this place when I was looking for nice restaurant and there was none open. I must admit I had good dining experience here at all the 3 times (must admit amazing companion so......) I have been here but the price almost equal to fine dining experience which I don't equate them to. I will call it a fancy restaurant but not fine dining.
The price and the quality does not match but that does not mean the place is bad. I love it at all times but I not my first choice for dining.
Beautiful food, my partner & i both left full & satisfied. we will be returning for my birthday
Good wine, good Steak good times!. A few from our group had the 800g Rib Eye EPIC! It's an argentinian restaurant the delivers the essentials :). Staff were attentive good night was had by all.
Competent service, lovely atmosphere but most importantly delicious delicious steak.
Love It ordered my steak blue and got what I asked for
The meat is amazing :-) !!! Great place
Best duck. Duck is sessional, love the bay bugs as well.
Service is very average.
First visit to Adelaide and a friend recommended this place. It didn't disappoint. My eye fillet was beautifully tender, our waiter attentive. The complimentary port at the end of the meal was a nice touch. Not entirely sure why we got that, it could have been because another waitress delivered our side to the wrong table, but that was quickly rectified thanks to the attentive waiter. Yes it's expensive and I've read a couple of reviews complaining about the price but it was packed by the time we left and its not a small place so i don't blame the owners for maximising. It's simple supply and demand. I'd eat there again.
Good venue. Great steak, well cooked (rare), good wine, nice atmosphere, polite and friendly staff.
Never dissapoints. I've been to Gaucho's a few times now & its one of the best steak's I've had in Adelaide. The atmosphere is cosy & the staff are friendly & helping. Another good dish to share is the Parrillada de Carne (meat platter), a nice spread of different type of meats accompanied with a nice red & a lovely pecorino, walnut and pear salad. It was a pleasure!
I went here years ago for Valentine's Day and I'm glad to finally have the opportunity to recommend this fine restaurant. I am however getting kind of tired of the Gipsy Kings.
Went with a group if mates for a catch up and some good steak. Wasn't disappointed, great steak and some tasty sides. Bit pricey but worth the extra coin as the quality is great. Will be returning soon.
Quality. Great food, service and vibe!
Visiting Adelaide w/ my girlfriend we went to Gauchos w/ my brother (we all love steak).. Wednesday 26/9. Had a table outside. I work in hospitality & extensively in the wine industry. Service was spot on from the word go, our waitress knew the menu and gave excellent suggestions. Wine List is well balanced and obviously carefully selected. We had a btl of Alejandro Fernandez Tempranillo. Fantastic Crianza Temp, suited each of our 500g rump, 450g porterhouse and lamb (which were all cooked to perfection)
I have been to Gauchos twice now & still the best (two) steaks Ive ever had.
Its not cheap, but its not meant to be!! You get what you pay for..
Highly recommend & will definitely be back next time in Adelaide. Thank you.
Our party of 3 started the evening with a shared plate of ciabatta bread, dipping oil and dukkah. Perfect and simple.
For our mains, the steaks were beyond perfection. Aged and marbled, decadently melt in your mouth scrumptious. The 400g scotch fillet was huge. There were three choices of sauces (additional cost). Or their own sauce and garlic topping - which I had was divine. Spicy and warm and clean.
Another in our party had the Atlantic salmon. Again, cooked to sheer perfection with special consideration given to allergies. An item was thoughtfully replaced without any hassle.
We shared a side of crunchy cooked greens.
We finished the evening with coffee (described by one of the party as smooth) and complimentary port.
Understandibly, we were so full, dRessert was off our menu!
The cheapest steak was $36 for 250g.
The 800g steak was considerably more.
Most desserts were around the $20 mark.
So yes, whilst a little on the expensive side, so so worth it. We did not witness any disgruntled patrons or food returning to the kitchen (except for people being so full!).
Watching the kitchen work together as a cohesive unit was a joy - the quality control manager at the pass was calm but always in control.
Our server Peta, deserves a special mention. Even though she was serving others, we always felt like we were the most important people in the restaurant.
And, a nice touch for fathers day, a small gift for the dads.
Well done.
Not Cheap but worth it. I never thought i would ever pay $68 for a steak so what the hell let do it, Turns out it was worth every cent... the service was also great. if i ever head that way again i would certainly be back.. Thanks
Very worthwhile. Super friendly, efficient staff. Lovely meal, nice ambience!
Excellent. Well what a place. THe buzz was great and the food was something else... The steak was wonderfully cooked and the sides of potates and vegies were cooked to perfection. Something special about the flavours and the ability to cook with authentic ingredients! Yummo........
Worth every cent!!!. A truly fantastic meal during our short stay in Adelaide.
I was blown away by the price in the beginning, but once my meal came out I was blown away by the quality of my meal.
The steaks are huge and very very tasty.
One of the best steak dinners I have ever had in my 40 years of dinning out.
One down side is the price of the extra's.
Best Steak.....But could do better. The steaks are huge and the prices and quality reflect this. But if you are charging so much for steak, why do you need to charge $7.50 extra for a teeny tiny dollop of sauce. Its ludicrous The meat is just served by itself on a place, then you need to add a salad or fries. Both are inexpesive for the restaurant to supply. Gaucho's in my opinion would be waayy better if they serve a meal ie steak and veggie/ steak and chips/steak and salad.
We also ordered the chargrilled calamari for entree, the small end was nice, but the thicker part was actually still raw.
I order steak alot, and for the price I would rather go to Auge for a "whole" meal
We both had steaks from their premium menus. They were cooked perfectly. The flavor and tenderness wasn't quite up to the price that we paid ($50 and $61). We received a small bowl or their wedges to share which were nice. We had to pay $12 to get a side of vegetables. Overall, was good but not as good as it should have been for the price. Probably won't go back unless someone else is paying
If you wanna good piece of meat.... This is the place to go for all meatlovers. If you have a large group, ring up in advance and order the goats leg. So, so tender and tasty. The steaks are also good.
Great. Had a buzz about the place. Food excellent, staff faultless.
Good stuff!. Diablo oysters and then the 800g rib on the bone. Then no room for dessert. Lucky I shared it with the wife otherwise meat sweat would start forming. Maybe it was a cold night so the plate didn't stay warm til we finished the steak so that was a bit of a shame but everything else was as good as it gets!
Only one word can describe this place - AMAZING! Finally a restaurant that serves up a beautiful meal at a reasonable price. Will go back again and again - well done!!

Amazing. Gaucho's has been busting it out on Gouger for yonks! There is a reason for this though, the food, wine and service has been on top of it's game the whole time. If you love meat, then this place will blow your mind!
Best steak in Australia. I dine at Goucho's every time i come to Adelaide. The food is just fantastic and to die for. Cant wait to come over to SA again.
Very tasty, clean food. And a Passionfruit Pavlova to die for. Nice place!
Delicious. Their kitchen closes @ 10pm and we called up just before and asked if we could come in. They said 'Of course!', we arrived about 20 minutes later and the service was impeccable. We ordered Oysters Diablo and some beautiful wine to start. Everything was astoundingly delicious.
The steaks were cooked beautifully and we were all very happy. If you want to enjoy a great steak without holding back, I highly recommend Gaucho's :)
The boss was happy. My boss was in town and wanted a good steak. Tossing up between Gaucho's and Sosta I went with with Gaucho's. We started with the diablo oysters and a couple of other entree's to share. We finished the Diablo's in seconds. Best oyster dish in SA. The steaks were cooked to perfection and left no room for dessert ....and a great Langmeil red (the valley floor) took the total experience to the next level. Recommended to impress the meat loving boss.
Best steak I"ve had in a long time. Decent service, loud. Good for a work dinner
Too Much Iron?. Or lead...which is what you need to dodge if you go there. This place has great steak...probably the best in Adelaide, but what's with the underbelly dudes inside and the guns blasting from outside. I'd really like to come back, but you need to change one thing...the atmosphere.
Vegetarians, repent!!!. If you're a vegetarian, TOUGH! No need to go here, unless you're on the brink of conversion. Everything at Gaucho's is about extreme carnivorous behaviour, shown by the fact that half of the restaurant is a griddle. I have no real favorites here, as long as it can be serve rare to medium rare, the rest is insignificant. The service is good, very international and not overly friendly, but who cares, I'm devouring beef here. Pricey, not for your weekly dine out or the weak hearted, but worth every penny.
Seriously this place makes me come to adelaide - best steak in Australia . Period.
Had to bring meat back and exchange. Ask for medium but got rare. Overall great experience. Fantastic waitress Kyna. She was brilliant! They bought out ice cream for birthday. Steak beautiful. :)
This place does steaks, and some things resembling steaks. They're still doing their "specials menu of expensive stuff with prices not shown." I'm recommended a steak, and the price turns out to be $59 - higher than almost everything on the menu. At least it's better than the $85 steak I unknowingly ate last time. :)
Char-grilled South Australian Spencer Gulf king prawns with saffron, garlic, herbs, lemon and olive oil.
The prawns have a nice texture, and an appropriately-strong charred taste. It sits in an oil, and is accompanied by cooked garlic, but none of this does much for the taste of the prawns. There's some basil in there somewhere.
The banana has that strong cooked banana taste, and the surrounding sauce on the plate is like golden syrup, but slightly less concentrated. The banana has its own sweetness, which is greatly enhanced by the golden syrup flavour and sweetness. Itâs hard to describe why this dessert tastes so nice, but everything just goes really well together. The almonds and walnuts, and especially the strikingly tasty pieces of strawberry also go perfectly with the banana. The dish just needed a bit more of the double cream.
The first thing I have to say about this pace is that if you are going to come here, do not plan any significant meals for the rest of the day! Gaucho's is best known for its Argentinian cooked steaks, located on Gouger Street it offers a contrast from the chinatown that it faces onto. Due to the nature of the restaurant I would suggest that this is a place to go only if you are willing or able to spend money on the food. Â Some might imply that this restaurant may be over priced or too expensive but I believe that in a restaurant such as this one you get what you pay for and I think it is worth it. I have never seen the chefs here cook a steak to anything but perfection. Because of the meat based menu you can feel like you have walked into a men's club. Â The large tables, for plenty of elbow room is the first thing I noticed when being seated, which in a time where restaurants are consolidating space to fit as many people in a
The taste was amazing! They were busy but we felt taken care of. Fine dining with a smile. We where very happy with our steaks and highly recommend the broccoli. We love coming here and can't wait to return again.
First visit here, plenty of tasty options. Obviously known for their steak which was cooked very well, the sides, entrees were all very good, even snuck in churros for desert. The staff were generally very good. The only thing holding back 5 stars was the price, it worked out to be about $200 pp for the night which is a bit much for me.
I don't eat meat and it was my partner's 40th birthday and i wanted him to have a special dinner.... I absolutely enjoyed the food just as much as he did; Whilst he had the 500g steak, we shared the most delicious Broccoli EVER, crisp/tasty/salty, the amazing Pear Salad and the squid. To be fair i wasn't that keen on the squid and i could have just eaten the broccoli and salad by themselves. The food was amazing, the service was so great and informative; pairing up a nice red with the steak of choice. Super quick and just an all round great atmosphere. We would have loved to give a tip, but they only take cash.... maybe there could be some other system other than cash, because i never have it on me. Thank you for having us and see you again soon!!
Came a bit hungry.
Ordered the biggest steak I could see in the menu, 650 gr.
Fries.
Lettuce salad.
San Palegrino.
Affogato for desert.
Food was good. Not great. Expected a bit more for the price that was charged.
Service was good and well tipped.
Sitting close to the door while freezing every time someone gets in or out was bothering.
The food was great, prices a little high and the atmosphere was okay. Staff were not wearing masks appropriately.
Excellent service with delicious food. The wait time was a bit longer than usual due to high number of customers.
