The service at Gaucho was very friendly and I love that they have a meat board and want to explain the cuts of meat to you. It definitely adds to the whole carnivorous experience, having raw cuts of meat laid out on a wooden board. It might sound a little hannibal lecter but looking at the meat board and hearing the waiters explain the board makes me salivate and you know there are good things to come.
I ordered the Churrasco de Chorizo; sirloin marinated for 48 hours, medium.The steak was soft and buttery, so easy to cut and succulent on the palate. I was famished upon entering Gaucho and this made a real dent in my belly. The steak was so easy to cut with a knife, perhaps the fact that the steak has been marinaded for hours that it has made the steak more tender? The chips were crisp with a hint of rosemary. I love the little crunchy little chip ends at the bottom of the bowl, makes it a little treat at the end of the meal.
The bar within this Gaucho is relaxing and a nice quiet spot for drinks, and the barmaid is willing to make whatever drink you want from their vast array of spirits. You just tell them what flavours you fancy and out it comes. I had a fruity strawberry number which had a sugar rim around the glass which was delicious.
Next time I really want to try the chorizo starter. I can't think of anything better than a spicy paprika sausage before a big steak. hmmmmmm
