Join us this Valentine's Day for a romantic evening set in candlelight with cocktails, finest wines and Latin inspired dishes. Looking for something extra special, our Valentine's menu for £55pp including a bottle of wine is perfect to share. For starters dive into a Black Truffle and Mushroom Fugazetta (a decadent Argentinian-style pizza), for mains choose from our top cuts of steak plus sides, and to end on a sweet note we have a delicious berry-laden Mille Feuille with Chantilly cream.

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.

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.

Fast service, and delicious fillet steak ( medium rare) , with a complimentary birthday desert to finish off… a very lovely touch….. Nice decor , though some upholstery could do with some updating…. plus some light background music in the afternoon would give a special/exclusive touch !

Absolute diamond of a place to go to eat , our party consisted of 4 and our booking wasn't until 3.45 but we got there well early and they were more than happy for us to be seated and to order when ready. We ordered off the set menu and the food was ace, defnitely the best steak I've had, it was followed by the dessert as opposed to having the starter and mains and i couldn't fault it a single bit, all the staff were pleasant just unfortunate I didn't get any names to give them a specific mention ..thank you so much.

Fantastic!!! We were lucky to get a free two course lunch and it was brilliant, we would go back for the set lunch on any day now. Firstly we must mention the level of service we received was the same as all other diners, we really appreciate that. Secondly the food was brilliant. For starters my partner had the beef Tatar taco and I had the prawns ..... amazing flavour and clean tasting. For mains we both had the rump stake again, both steaks were cooked perfectly to how we asked, the chips and sauce on the side was brilliant. We wanted to also point out the quality of the steak again lovely, no gristle or fat. The restaurant, bathrooms and our table was clean and comfortable. Every member of staff that we walked past on our way out say bye as well ... this was a really nice touch, thank you every one. Lovely branch of Gaucho's we we defiantly be coming back here!!!!

The service was excellent, and the Prawn Chicharron on the set lunch menu was hands down the best fish I've ever had and easily one of the best dishes I've ever enjoyed.

Fantastic steaks cooked to perfection. Service was very nice and food very good. Sides were nice too- loved the tender stem broccoli and the chips. Pity they’ve taken the spinach and the humitas off the menu as those were always my must haves previously. The mocktail was overpriced at £9.50 for literally a small cup of liquid. However, overall lovely food, service and ambience.
