Neighbourhood gem

Nestled in the heart of Hampstead Village, surrounded by charming alleyways and beautifully preserved Georgian buildings, Gaucho Hampstead offers a welcoming retreat in North London.

Just a stone's throw from Hampstead Heath, our contemporary yet cozy interiors provide the perfect setting for a leisurely lunch, a post-school treat, or a family gathering on Sundays for one of our legendary roasts.

One of the highlights of the restaurant is our stunning courtyard terrace, complete with a traditional Asado fire pit—ideal for summer barbecues and cozy winter evenings, where guests can enjoy delicious food while staying warm under blankets.

And for all the dog walkers in Hampstead, four-legged friends are always welcome to join you when you're out and about.

Gaucho Hampstead gave us an incredible evening! The food was delicious, and the service was spot-on—friendly and attentive throughout. What made the night unforgettable was the amazing Tango Night with professional dancers. The energy and passion they brought made the whole experience so special. Can’t wait to come back for another amazing night!

Overly a very poor experience! Having requested upon my booking for some space for the buggy of our newborn, we were told by front of house that they did not have any space inside to accommodate us and suggested to use the outdoor space, that although is a heated space is still an outside space. We refused this option, and a space under, and as requested, was found for us. When we walked around the space we noted a few areas where a buggy could be accommodated. Just bizarre behaviour from front of house. Regarding food, we went for the roast, and could not be more disappointed. Beef was well cooked but tasteless, potatoes not probably baked, and no apologies sent when we pointed this out, just sent us more potatoes instead, also poorly baked and hard. The gravy was more of a jus and with really no flavour. The best part were really the vegetables, which is incredible disappointing when you have a roast. Was the first time we went to Gaucho and after this have to say will not go back again. Very disappointed with the overall service.

The food at Gaucho was excellent as usual. The bread was warm and fresh. We sat outside and for a while were the only table there so would have been nice if we had been checked on a little more often but otherwise the service was great.
