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.

Mix and match your favourites, from our signature Beef Empanada with a classic salsa golf, to the 24-hour marinated rump steak in lashings of olive oil, parsley, and garlic.

    From the wonderful background music to the most welcoming host and server. The night kicked off splendidly. But the star of the show was the food. The meat was perfectly cooked and the dessert was so delicate amd airy and full of taste (tropical fruit mille feuille)

    As we often find when just two of us dining the tables are generally too close together meaning when the waiting staff are tending to the table next to us there is limited room for them or us to move. Our table was also next to a storage area which meant the waiting staff were constantly walking to and fro past our table. The food was very good, although the side dish of broccoli lacked lustre for £6! Wine was expensive. Steak was great! Our waitress was very attentive Our meal came to £215 which overall I think is expensive given that it wasn’t a 5 star experience
