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.

Along with big, bold Latin flavours, we offer a premium wine list that complements every dish. Step inside this sleek, modern glass building and you’ll be greeted by stylish interiors, featuring textures and tones inspired by the rich landscapes of Argentina.

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.

Enjoy a cocktail at our bar or head downstairs to our dining room for a relaxed working lunch, or entertain in our stunning private wine room.

    Service was good to start but when it got busy tailed off. The starters and mains were excellent but the side green salad with the steaks didn’t have a nice dressing was so salty and needed some vinegar to balance. Suggest the chef rethinks the dressing.

    Great decor and music in the dining area which set up a great ambience despite it being only a quarter to third full. Reception and table service was great, attentive and friendly. Food and drinks were brilliant, especially the Wagyu martini and carafe of Malbec. I’d say I’d definitely go again, but, the prices were a bit silly. I dine frequently at Langan’s in Mayfair, and this Gaucho cost me slightly more than I usually pay there! Which is a benchmark for me. So I would definitely think twice before returning
