El Gaucho in München

food was stunning. Steak cooked to perfection. no hesitation in recommending

Quality of the fillet is really not good. Far too little herb butter. I don't really recommend fries either.

Good food overall. The steak eye was good respecting the cooking point. I would recommend it

Very good meat, very nice and attentive service and an attractive atmosphere.

The steak was to die for. Great in taste and buttery soft. The vegetables were also very tasty and the sauces were home made. The waiters were very attentive and there was no waiting time between courses. Simply perfect. 👍

This was our second time eating here and the steak was fantastic. The side dishes were great, not to mention the truffle gnocchi, The waitress Sergio or something like that was great, attentive and friendly. We had a lovely evening and would love to come back.

The staff tried very hard, but no trays were used to clear the tables, and the water was also served in WARM water glasses that came fresh from the dishwasher. There was no additional sale or recommendation whatsoever. Here we could have been sold a lot more with good advice. The lady who prepared the drinks wore her long hair loose - an absolute no-go in the food area.

The food was phenomenal! I can only recommend. It was a little bit too loud for my liking in a restaurant but it was still great. We celebrated my brother’s birthday and they were so kind to give us a free dessert :)

Food, ambience and service was great! Our waitress Mira in particular gave us a great time! Thank you for the lovely birthday evening from our friend.

The price is not very expensive and the meat quality is good. I recommend T-Bone.

Had a wonderful evening here today. Great food at reasonable prices and perfect service from Jacky! THANK YOU AND KEEP UP 👏

Steak came to the table lukewarm to cold. The table was at the counter in the private room. This made you feel like you were sitting under floodlights.

The two of us went to El Gaucho at the Viktualienmarkt this afternoon. Overall, the restaurant left a mixed impression. The quality and taste of the dishes varied significantly: While the beef broth was far too salty and the burger - for the price - was unfortunately served too small and too well-done, the steak and the side dishes were absolutely excellent. The ambience is generally stylish and designed to match the restaurant, but some areas seem a bit cool due to the monotone decoration. Unfortunately, the service was chaotic and unconvincing. First we were brought to our table by a very friendly lady, who fortunately later served us at our request. Before that, however, a total of four different waiters had taken on tasks: one brought the water, another took the order, and a third served the food. This constant change led to confusion and dissatisfaction, especially since we had to wait over an hour for our entrees. Our original main waiter completely ignored us and failed to provide any information or attention - even though the restaurant wasn't particularly busy at the time. All in all, we left the restaurant with mixed feelings. Although the steak was convincing, we plan to visit other steakhouses in the future. For a spontaneous steak craving in the city center, El Gaucho may be an option, but if you're looking for an all-round experience, you'll be better served elsewhere.

So great. Very fine food. Good service. The waitress just didn't bring back the change. Taking that as a tip is a bit much…

The food was very tasty. The meat was perfectly done. The service very good. However, one star deducted for the prices of the sauces of up to €4 for a small bowl. At this price level, a sauce should be included with the steak. So it has a fast food restaurant feel if you have to pay extra for sauces. It's better to make the dishes €2 more expensive and add a sauce for free.

Food great, service ditto, absolute recommendation! They can do steak!

Service was slow. Even early on a Monday evening. Jagerschnitzel wasn’t the most tender or flavorful

Pleasant atmosphere, top staff. Food was very good, selection of starters too small for such a restaurant.

I will never come back to this restaurant, the service was horrible. I waited almost twenty minutes too the bill.

One of the best steaks in town.

The food is ALWAYS on point, the meat is so incredibly tender. I find it fascinating how you can cut exactly xxx gram pieces of fillet using just your eyes. Totally cozy atmosphere - especially in the “private room”. And the service can't be better - always friendly, cheerful, smiling and polite. (Jimmy from Peru (service) was so nice the whole evening that I felt guilty saying that something was missing from the pisco sour - but he noticed it himself and we got a really tasty alternative) I go there every 2-3 months and can confidently say that El Gaucho definitely has the best price-performance ratio, the best quality and the warmest service in Munich. I really like it!! 👌🏼✨

The food and ambience are top, really the finest. Accordingly, the prices are also very high. Not for the steak itself but rather for the side dishes. The service was a bit chaotic but still in a fun way :)

There were two of us eating here. The service was attentive and very friendly. The taste of the food was excellent and the quality of the meat was absolutely top!! Although we were quite early, the food was unfortunately only lukewarm when it was served. The wine was delicious, but we both had severe headaches after drinking a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc for the two of us. This can't be allowed!! Price/performance absolutely ok (150€ for 2 people including 1 bottle of wine). We can recommend the restaurant and would love to come back!!

An incredible place to taste good meat and good wines. The only thing I didn't like so much is that the tables are so close together, the rest was incredible. A ten for the attention and service they offer. Thank you for having us, we will return.

Very good food. The service was super nice and accommodating. I will definitely go there again. Keep it up

Very nice, courteous service with a good mood! Food was great - there's nothing to complain about, we'll be happy to come back!! ☺️

Very good, perfect food and the waitress is called a very kind and very fast girl, a Bulgarian girl is the best waitress I have ever seen in my life thanks to Mira

Truly a good exponent of Argentine grill, the meat is spectacular. I ate the equivalent of the strip roast and the chorizo ​​steak and both were spectacular! Highly recommended, you just have to book in advance.

Very good food and very friendly service. Book a terrace spot in hot weather.

Disappointed again, so I will avoid this place in the future. Very slow, lackluster service. Lady at reception unfriendly. Doesn't speak a full sentence, just nods his head and mumbles. Of three fillet steaks ordered, one was tough and half was not eaten. The other 2 were OK. Side dishes lukewarm. Nobody asked during the meal or after the meal if everything was OK. Unfortunately I can no longer recommend the restaurant. Price performance is no longer sufficient.

Super nice service and super delicious! 1A! 👍

This is a great place to celebrate an anniversary! Really nice service, thank you Nicole!!

Unfortunately, both the quality of meat and the quality of service have declined significantly in recent years. There is a lot of fuss about cuts and cooking levels, but in the end the cooking level is purely arbitrary. It's a real shame, a few years ago it was expensive but not too fancy and service/quality has steadily declined. The second to last time was so-so, but we assumed there was a slip-up, so we tried again, but it was even worse. The waiters don't really have any specialist knowledge of meat but are now rattling off general phrases. That used to be different too. We won't go there anymore.

Mira hat topp service gemacht, sehr individuell und auf alle wünsche eigegangen, steaks auf den punkt, danke gruss Michael und Daniel

We went as a group and ordered most of the special steaks on offer. The Tira de Ancho Ribeye had quite a lot of fat and tissues that were a real struggle to cut, the Tira de Cuadril Rump Steak with the special Churrasco sauce was also underwhelming. For steaks at this price level, even in Munich, one can expect a medium rare steak to be uniformly pink inside with a minimum layer of "well-done" meat under a beautifully seared crust. Most steaks at our table were not like that, the 800g Ribeye for instance were cut into 6 pieces and the two end pieces were more like well done. The crust was not very even either. The seasoning was also done quite plain with relatively limited sauce options compared to other Munich steakhouses. Then there are the sides, we each ordered some sides like prawns and fries. One of the fries did not arrive when almost everyone had finished their steaks. Then for the three king prawns ordered for 3 different people, two of them were served in one small bowl without telling, so one person was waiting for his side dish only to realize that it had been served and he needed to order again. The restaurant also went lights out completely dark for birthdays, which was OK at the beginning but started getting a bit disturbing for the 4-5th time in an hour.

We were there last week. Very very bad service! The waitress was super annoyed and rude. Unfortunately, the meat was rare (really bloody) instead of medium, but the waitress simply avoided eye contact and ignored us. Definitely not recommended!

Steaks waren auf den Punkt gegart, die Dry Age Cuts sind sehr zu empfehlen. Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Die Location hat uns ebenfalls gefallen, wir hatten einen Tisch auf der Terasse ähnlich einem Innenhof.

Come here every year for our anniversary. Very tasty steaks and the side dishes are also highly recommended!

Nette Atmosphäre, netter Service, aber: ab 22:30 Uhr wird das Gefühl vermittelt, gehen zu sollen (Licht an etc.) und vor allem: Fleisch enttäuschend (wir hatten ein 200 Euro-Steak und das war nix!).

The food didn't come to the table at the same time even though the restaurant was empty. The toast with the tartare was cold. After complaining, the new one took 15 minutes. The steak was brought about 20 minutes after the other meals instead of medium, rare and without the side dishes ordered, which took another 15 minutes. Conclusion: never again!!! We're going to Little London again!

It tasted great and Tao served us first-class :) Thank you!

A wonderful evening with excellent food and an unbeatably friendly service named Jacky. LG Moni, Andy and Johannes

Best steakhouse in town! It's now our home steakhouse! Great service, delicious food, best quality! Thank you very much! I can't understand the bad comments! What if I have to wait 15 minutes? So please…. Where is the bus?…… And for those who think the cooking level wasn't right - please tell the waiter! Do you even know what medium is?

Top service and super delicious food. We'd love to come back.

Amazing experience!! Even though we got there too late at night and the kitchen was closed, they still managed to serve us a small appetizer and tasteful drinks. And the wonderful, sweet, empathetic waitress Mira made us feel so welcomed that we decided to dine at this restaurant much more often.

Nico our host, was great. Even though there was an issue with our reservation, we’ve had a lovely evening. The meat is obviously their star item and don’t get me wrong it was wonderful. But also, try the starters like hummus and salami, also the baked potato and spinach tastes great. Probably will come back every 3-4 weeks.

I went there yesterday with a friend after we had been wanting to go out for steak for a long time. I was there two years ago with my company and absolutely loved it both then and yesterday! Service, quality, friendliness, ambience... Absolutely top! We sat outside in the great weather (reservation is a must). All of this justifies the prices. If you want to eat tastefully in a great atmosphere and like meat, this is the right place for you!

Unfortunately the quality and the service of this restaurant dropped dramatically. I wanted to celebrate my birthday but I didn´t have a great night. We waited half an hour before order, then not all the appetizer were available. We asked for bread, but it was really a bad quality, like the one for the toast. We asked to stay outside in the garden, but then we had to move inside for the neighbors. The main dish arrived one hour later even if the restaurant was empty. Also the steak was not good, it was too cooked and not so tasty. Then we asked for the dessert and they told us the kitchen was closed, without informed us before. We could just order ice-cream with coffee but it was really ridiculous. We had to share with two spoon half ice-cream ball. I will not recommend this restaurant anymore. For the money are you spending the service and the food is not worth.

We made reservations after gotten recomandations from friends, so we were looking forward to this visit. We were warmly welcomed by the staff and escorted to our table, We got recomended drinks, and got to order our food. The wait was a little long, but the food was absolutely great! Nice steaks, chicken breast and side dishes, well worth the wait! We got desert, coffee and drinks after, recomend the chocolate brownie!

An excellent steak & wine restaurant, who have surprisingly good padron peppers as well. The house Argentinian Malbec is lovely and reasonably priced for a wine pairing. Steak fries also excellent every time. Love this place, the mains are where it's at, there's often room for two even when busy. Dessert not bad but after such excellent mains not worth it I think.

Food ok for the price but not more. Service, however, was catastrophic. Drinks were forgotten, starters only came when asked again. Side dishes did not come with the main course. Empty glasses stood on our table for ages and were not put away. And in the end there were even drinks on the bill that we never got.

Super friendly and helpful staff. Prices were high but the foods were very tasty. We had the dry aged tomahawk and it was very good.

I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. The food and wine was amazing. The service however could get some improvement.

Today I enjoyed a very nice dinner with 3 colleagues at this restaurant. The steak was great and our waiter was nice. I enjoyed the evening until the waiter made it clear that he was not happy with the tip I gave on top of the bill he presented. I experienced that as very rude, because no matter how much I give as a tip, he should have been thankful, even if it is not what he expected. Was I happy with the service? Actually, no, the appetizer took long, the main course took about 1 hour (at another table serving a steak took only 15 minutes) . When the main course was served, we asked for some more wine, which came when we almost finished our steak.. So, yes, my tip was not high, .but after the reaction of the waiter, I actually regret giving a tip at all…. Not a nice ending of the evening…

Sensational steaks, generally inexpensive food and great ambience with a great location on the Viktualienmarkt. Highly recommended!

The service is absolutely friendly, the atmosphere is excellent, and the food is also excellent. Restaurant manager is very attentive I'm already looking forward to the next visit

I was at El Gaucho on Monday evening. We got a nice seat without a reservation and the nice gentleman immediately gave us the aperitif menu with a recommendation of the cremant, which was not on the menu. The steaks were excellent, we had fillet and ribeye, cooking points were perfect. All in all a wonderful evening with very good food, nice wines and excellent service. We'll be back!

Rarely have I felt so picked up in Munich! Great food and great service, they know how it's done.

I was here recently with family. A great restaurant in the middle of Munich city center. Great welcome and a great atmosphere. The food was very, very good. A steak (everything is available here and everything tastes great; I tried it out a bit in the group ;) ) with the El Gaucho truffle gnocchis are absolutely recommended. An absolute tip for Munich residents who would like to eat a steak. And the drinks are awesome too :)

The best steakhouse in Munich! At the start we were warmly welcomed by the host and the service team was also very professional and friendly. There was a nice selection of different steak cuts that were perfectly fried and the other dishes were also very tasty. Can only recommend the restaurant!!!

Steak of the finest quality, top service and fair value for money. Simply recommended!

The place to be in Munich city! If you are looking for a perfect evening in the city of Munich, you have come to the right place. The service welcomed us very warmly and on top of that we had the perfect fried steak with side dishes - simply great! (Vegetarians won't miss out in a steak restaurant either). Also worth mentioning is the young host Lukas, who runs the restaurant in this top location very well. We will definitely come back and recommend it to others!

The highlight was of course the steak. Perfectly fried to perfection, tender and juicy, with a wonderful crust and a wonderful aroma. The side dishes were also delicious and the wine selection was excellent.

A big compliment to the kitchen – they really understand good meat here! I can recommend El Gaucho to anyone who wants to enjoy an excellent steak in a pleasant atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!

I recently stayed at El Gaucho and absolutely loved it! From the start the service was excellent - the staff were friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. The ambience is cozy and stylish, perfect for a special evening.

I met up with friends for dinner at El Gaucho and it was really a very successful evening. Our steaks, which we were recommended, were great and perfect. The waiter who served us was extremely helpful and very competent, especially when it came to recommending wine. We'll be back.

Unfortunately service was very bad and super slow Check your bill before you pay had many items that we didn't order! Food was average

The meat was very tasty, which is what you would expect given the price. Service bored, slow and inattentive. A 20€ tip was probably not enough for bad service, no thanks and just a grumpy look. Even bread with butter as a usual starter has to be ordered separately and costs extra. I've never experienced anything like this in a halfway good restaurant. All in all, a big bubble. You can save yourself.

Food okay. Service that evening was arrogant to the point of being arrogant. I decide how I eat my steak and I won't let anyone talk about it!

Great steakhouse, meat was 10000% perfect, very tasty, great selection of wines, drinks, cocktails. Super great service. But good meat justifies its price. Be sure to reserve! I'd love to come back there.

Was there on a Friday evening. I was really looking forward to El Gaucho in Munich because I know the excellent houses in Graz and Vienna. Unfortunately, the quality of service was so inadequate that I can only give it 3 stars. We had to wait 25 minutes for a beer, an ashtray was handed to us after asking twice, and starters were cleared away before we were finished. We felt a bit like we were being looked down upon as we weren't interested in the 1000gr Dry Age Porterhouse but wanted a smaller piece - which wasn't available. The food was, as usual from El Gaucho, very good. Nevertheless, I will not visit the store in Munich again.

Service friendly. Steaks exactly how we wanted them. Nice atmosphere with soft South American music in the background so you could have a good conversation.

Friendly service, which was unfortunately too rare at our table... too few service staff for the many guests. The Ribeye La Pimienta was perfectly cooked, but unfortunately the taste was compromised by the overly salty herb butter. The Asian beef tartare was very tasty.

Yeah ok. Pricey. And we fell for the up sell of bread starter. Ehh.

We were kindly brought to the table with the advice that we could stay for a maximum of 2 hours. The food: Completely overpriced, Tomahawk was ordered medium, T-Bone is more likely to be served. Completely carelessly prepared, the naked steak was simply slapped onto the plate. The burger was nothing, soggy, tasted like cucumber and vinegar... So for a bill of 180 euros at the end for 2 people you somehow expect something different!!!! Definitely not a recommendation.

I went there with anticipation on the recommendation of several parties - I thought I would treat myself if I let out the 600g kings cut, unfortunately it arrived on cold plates instead of medium rare, half cooked, for 70€ in a 'steak house' such a tough, lukewarm piece of meat (which took forever), and I had to pay extra for every little piece of side dish, which really wasn't worth it - the ambience/music and wine were again really pleasant, the starters were bread and olives +hummus combo was the best in terms of taste, so you can have a little wine, but I can't recommend anything else

Starters were good. Steak partly dry and well done, medium was ordered. Pepper sauce bitter/sour. Long waiting time. Price/performance doesn't fit here.

El Gaucho at Vikimarkt was pleasant. The top grilled rib-eye steak and the service were excellent. Sides were a bit very salty and the chanterelles, made as a kind of goulash, were unfortunately very mushy and bland. The price is absolutely right for the location. Extensive wine list and good cocktails

Very good restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere and ambience. And... It's not just steak lovers who will feel at home here. 👌

We had a great waiter and the food was excellent.

Very good food, although not exactly cheap. Recommended for meat lovers.

Tawfiq he is the best of the best

Thanks a lot to tawfiq for serving me @ my family..💐💐💐💐

The place is nice and clean and the staff is friendly, the prices are reasonable and the dishes are well served, if I would return

completely overrated. Meat tastes the same as in any steakhouse

Ate at El Gaucho last night and had one of the best steaks of my life! We were served by a lovely young man who was very attentive and welcoming! We highly recommend El Gaucho and will definitely be back next time we are in Munich.

Incredible, very nice place, very attentive and friendly staff, great machines and very good meat!!

A pleasant and comfortable place, taking two period resettation to tables, different sizes of T-bone's available.

As a matter of fact, I'm visiting El Gaucho again and I'm saying it for the umpteenth time it's mandatory to visit and dine in this Restaurant. They have high quality steaks, but I haven't tried the dry-aged one yet, so cannot comment them. Try the goose liver, it's so tender that it melts in your mouth or pimp your steak with soft shell crab. Most people order steak fries but try something different next time, the truffle gnocchi, very delicious 🤤 How to reach the Restaurant: best with public transportation to station Marienplatz, then 5 to less than 10 min. of walk. Parking spots could be available if you are lucky, but there's a parking garage next to restaurant.

Delicious and high quality steaks. We ordered Rib-eye and Stirloin steaks. The hospitality was outstanding by Toufiq, he was very welcoming and advising when picking our dishes. Thank you

Apparently if you show up without a reservation they're entitled to disrespect you and watch a football game instead of answering you whether there's a free table or not.

Very disappointed !!!!. visiting Munich and took a friend there for Dinner. Initially, staff was very engaging and friendly. However,shortly after meals were delivered, our waiter pretty much disappeared. No refill of wines and general lack of attention. It was a birthday celebration and we were not offered a dessert menu. I had to ask for one and staff member looked at his watch. They closed in 1.5 hours and he seemed inconvenienced. Never an offer of coffee etc. When the waiter reappeared and presented the check, he had the nerve to mention a tip. PLEASE! I declined....tip for what......? To continue, the steaks were mediocre at best and tough. Not the amazing beef they seem to advertise. We Paid almost $200 and it was a very sad meal. Never will I eat here or recommend for my friends and colleagues visiting Munich..

Upscale place with prices to match. Food was great. Service was slow, inattentive and dismissive. Shame...

Excellent food and excellent service! Nico in particular was an attentive and friendly waiter. We'd love to come back!

Underwhelming. Nice student in service. Stinkingly normal Munich butcher meat, arbitrary degree of doneness, sloppily presented. Price-performance ratio completely incredible. Worst mashed potatoes since weather records began: hand blender paste!! That this still exists... No. A real tourist trap.

Excellent meat, friendly and quick service, very refined and refined location with very original furnishings. Prices in line or even below the Munich average given the location and excellent quality! If you want to eat good meat without breaking the bank, this is the right place!

Wow kk. Don't go. Poor food and bad service

The food tasted quite good. But the service wasn't that great. We were also served quite unfriendly.

Everything was nice! Professional service. Food tasted great.

It was very pleasant! The food was very tasty! The service was fantastic!
