Gaucho's Argentinian Restaurant

The meats are cooked to perfection and the sides outstanding. I would recommend the Eye fillet steak (Bife De Lomo), brocolini & hassel back potatoes. We had a work Christmas dinner here. The venue was a little noisy on the night but certainly everyone was enjoying themselves. Excellent selection of wines with Old bush vine Grenache & Hey Diddle single vineyard shiraz, both SA wines, being our choice for the night.

Enjoyed dining at Gaucho with my family. The steak was the highlight, just melts in your mouth. The flavour of the steak was delicious!! We also enjoyed the empanadas & provolone cheese for entree and chips & pear salad with the steak. Service was outstanding!!

Mixed grill $100 was excellent value but only available Mon-Thu. Rib eye steak was good quality & cooked to order but for $90 including the steak & 4 tomatoes is steep. Tomato salad was fresh. Like others have said, male manager & other staff very unfriendly. Feel like dropping $400 wasn’t good enough for their standards. Not a place we would be going back for its price & the uncomfortable celebratory meal experience.

I visited Gaucho’s in Adelaide during a recent work trip, and it turned out to be one of the culinary highlights of my stay. I ordered the kingfish ceviche, seared scallops, and the beef tartare—every dish was exceptional, but the kingfish ceviche absolutely stole the show. It was, without a doubt, one of the best ceviches I’ve ever had in my life. The beef tartare was another standout. As someone who considers themselves a bit of a tartare connoisseur—having tried it all over the world—I can confidently say this one was up there with the best. Perfectly balanced, beautifully seasoned, and expertly prepared. The service was equally impressive. I was dining solo, and the staff made me feel genuinely welcome—attentive, warm, and professional throughout the evening. The experience stayed with me so much that the very next night, when I was trying to decide what to eat (despite already having had a large team dinner), all I could think about was that kingfish ceviche. I simply couldn’t leave Adelaide without going back for it—and it was worth every bite, again. Gaucho’s is an absolute must-visit.

Sometimes when I eat outside my country, I feel like I go to Argentinian restaurants looking for my flavors!! Many times I am disappointed!! But this time, despite the owners being Italian, the flavors were very delicious, considering the Australian population who like it very spicy!! The atmosphere was very good!! The service was excellent!! I am a chef, it is nice that the Italian owners like the food from my country!! To my delight, I found everything very good and very clean fantastic Argentinian wines!!

I was really looking forward to dining here, but being somewhat of a steak restaurant snob, I'd have to say it's not my top picks. Steak very good, but entrees could improve themselves considering the cost. My choice of the chorizo was technically just a standard sausage cut inside out. The olives weren't as warm as I'd hoped or have had before. Service seemed more focused on the larger or known groups and were left waiting for the attention needed to line up with cost outlay. I'd have to say that The Meat and Wine Co still remains our top pick for Adelaide.

The steaks and meats were amazing and delicious. The seasoning the chips was great, loved the slight sweetness. But it was very expensive. For a nice restaurant it was a bummer that the service was crap. The fried lamb was different and tasted quite nice until the pieces that were straight up fat and tasted a bit unhealthy. Overall it was nice, but for the price and service im not sure id come back.

The steak was sublime! Cooked to perfection with very tasty sides. Staff were fabulous.
