I finally got around to dining at Gaucho. More specifically, the Richmond branch.
Three words I can think of to sum up the experience are: indulgence, accomplished and cordial.
A thoroughly enjoyable meal which is a must if you enjoy a well prepared steak. It is on the dear side and a slight niggle is that you have to buy the accompanying sauce for your steak. However, once you taste the food any concern about value is forgotten.
Complimentary breads. Soda bread and parmesan rolls with salt, pepper and vinaigrette
Beef, chicken and cheese & onion Empanadas with a sweet chilli sauce
Chorizo sausage. Argentine chorizo: a combination of pork and beef and grilled Romero pepper
What about The Steak then?
