Join us this December at Gaucho, where we’ll be serving up festive dishes and drinks with an Argentinian twist, perfect for corporate celebrations, Christmas parties and family gatherings!

Nestled along the tranquil banks of the River Thames in the charming Richmond neighborhood, our iconic boathouse restaurant and waterside terrace offer the perfect setting for dining by the water. In the summer, the terrace comes alive with one of our signature barbecues. A standout feature of the terrace is one of London’s oldest Plane trees, providing a stunning focal point for what is arguably one of the city’s most desirable alfresco dining spots.

From our elegantly designed dining room and bar, you can enjoy sweeping 360 views of Richmond Bridge and the picturesque Petersham Meadows. It’s an idyllic location for a leisurely weekend lunch after a dog walk in Richmond Park or for gathering with family and friends to celebrate special occasions.

The Sunday roast was amazing, and our host, Liam, was outstanding. He was attentive and made sure that we had a top-up on our roast. His timing for each course we had was impeccable. It was the best customer service I've experienced in a long time. I will definitely visit again because the customer service was 10/10.

We all absolutely loved the legacy menu. Such good value for 3 courses with no less quality than the main menu. The picsana steak was phenomenal, starters and pudding were also excellent. Service was friendly and attentive with a great restaurant ambiance. It’s a return visit for us and I’m sure we’ll be back again.
