El Gaucho in München

Very tasty 300g rump steak, good starter (olives, spreads, fresh bread), delicious wine (not exactly cheap). Friendly waiter. Only the timing of the wine with the steak wasn't right.

If you want meat in Munich, this is the place! Good meat. In the center of Munich.

My favorite of Munich's steak restaurants. Great service and outstanding food. I've been coming here for 10 years and always enjoy the time and the food.

Top food, top service (Elias) top ambience

We ate there at the same time last year, and it was amazing! Today we went back, and I had the exact same dish. And what can I say? The meat wasn't good. It was tough and hard. I sent back almost half of it. As compensation, I was offered an espresso or a shot. For a piece of meat that costs €51 per portion. I'm incredibly disappointed. TOO BAD...

A very nice restaurant. Lovely atmosphere. Elias served us excellently and gave us great recommendations. The T-bone steak was excellent. We'd gladly go back.

Absolutely recommendable, finally a super service, as it should be and where the guest feels like the king, the wine and meat quality is mega

In short… a 10 out of 10. Amazing service, not to mention the food. We received the best possible service from Elias. Lots of love.

In my opinion, the best steakhouse in Munich! The meat is impressively mild and of high quality, the atmosphere is very pleasant, and the service is extremely attentive. I'll definitely be back as often as I can!😅

A great experience delicious steaks and delicious cocktails thanks to our waiter Elias Hammer funny guy

Nine of us celebrated a birthday today in the secluded room. The atmosphere was fantastic thanks to Elias and the Indian waiter. However, I have to say that 3 euros for ketchup and mayo is not okay, even for Munich. The nice waiter Elias can't do anything about the prices and said that he can't take the ketchup off the bill. It's a shame, but we'd be happy to go back.

Very good food and super waiter the elias

The steak was good. The service became significantly less friendly after we didn't order wine or appetizers. They didn't even ask if the food was okay. It's best to come here only if you have a particularly thick wallet.

Elias impressed us with his outstanding service at the El Gaucho Steakhouse in Munich. He was attentive, friendly, and made us feel completely at home. A definite recommendation!

Best steak in Munich! I highly recommend it.

Everything was excellent, the service was kind and polite, we will be back

We had a wonderful evening with super delicious food! Friendly service, everything was perfect 😊

Steak lovers should definitely visit El Gaucho! My wife and I had one of the best steaks we've ever eaten; we had the rib eye. We'd be happy to go back!

I was there with friends and everyone was absolutely thrilled! My steak was perfectly cooked, super tender, and flavorful. The service was incredibly friendly and attentive. All in all, a truly wonderful evening; we'll definitely be back!

Zara, Fabio, and the team absolutely rocked it! I was thrilled to be able to celebrate my birthday at El Gaucho. Thank you to the entire team! The service, cocktails, and food—everything was amazing. They work very quickly and with high standards. Highly recommended!

Unfortunately, a very disappointing service experience I usually don’t write negative reviews, but in this case I feel compelled to share what happened. Let me start by saying that the quality of the food was excellent – well-prepared dishes with high-quality ingredients, although the prices were slightly above average. This review is not about the food, but entirely about the terrible service we received from one of the waiters. I was dining with my parents, and the evening started off well. Although there was a mistake with the order (we received two portions of meat instead of one), we didn’t complain and happily ate both. The real issue began when it was time to pay. The oldest waiter in the room, who should have been the most experienced, tried to add a tip to the bill himself, claiming that we were “obliged” to tip him, comparing the situation to the United States. After we politely but clearly refused (having already spent nearly €200 on dinner), he completely lost control: he began shouting at us in front of the entire dining room, claiming he had worked for free because of us, slamming trays and acting in an extremely unprofessional manner. This was our first time in Germany for work, and only afterwards did we learn that tipping is a common courtesy here. However, a tip should always be a voluntary gesture from the customer – not demanded with aggressive behavior. We would have gladly spoken with the owner, but the chef informed us he was not present. I sincerely hope this review serves as a wake-up call for management to better supervise their staff. An attitude like this not only ruins the dining experience but seriously damages the image of a restaurant that otherwise shows clear culinary quality.

Everything was wonderful, tasted really good - the staff were all very nice - Fabio who served us was super friendly and personable.

After a few years, we returned to El Gaucho – with high expectations, as the food was really good then, as it is now. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing this time. We had ordered a bottle of red wine at the beginning, but despite repeated requests, it didn't arrive until after the main course. The fact that the main course was served even though we hadn't finished the appetizer yet unfortunately noticeably spoiled the dining experience. Conclusion: The food remains excellent, but the service clearly has room for improvement – especially in this price range, you expect more attentiveness and better timing.

I went to the restaurant three times. On two occasions, the steak was poorly prepared.

In the middle of the old town of Munich is a fantastic steak restaurant, this restaurant has lots of tender steaks and good side dishes. The drinks here are good and the wine perfect, the place is new and modern, simply decorated perfectly for an Argentinian steak restaurant. The place is also very clean and tidy. The service is perfect and the staff is nice. This restaurant is called El Gaucho and a must visit if you are in Munich one evening.

Atmosphere is perfect. Garden is very fresh. Drink menu is very rich. We ate kings cut and taste was perfect. But service is very fast. They don't wait to finish your cocktails for food service. Manji is perfect guy :)

Large, high-quality cuts We came without a reservation and were able to get seats at the bar. The hostess was very charming and welcoming. The restaurant offers an average wine selection, but a broad range of meats, including some highly recommended large cuts. I had the tomahawk, which was beautifully marbled and incredibly flavorful — perfectly cooked to medium rare. The chef personally checked in on us, and the service throughout was attentive. A solid steakhouse in Munich

El Gaucho Munich We've been to El Gaucho in Munich several times. Once, among other things, with a group of 8 people. The reservation proved to be useful. The staff was friendly as always, and the service was also good. The food was excellent and cooked to perfection. El Gaucho is highly recommended. It's a shame that they're now only opening at 5 p.m. on weekdays.

Awesome:) Delicious meat, very well prepared, very nice service and a nice place.

Spiro top staff, best guy, great service!!! Always happy to come back

Die Bedienung sowie das Essen top! Der ganze Abend war ein Genuss. Ich war mit Freunden hier - alle sind der gleichen Meinung :) Danke für den tollen Abend!

Great service, especially Spiro! We'd love to come back!

it was awesome here, i really loved it!!! i’ll keep coming back especially because of spiro, he was the sweetest server ever!!! i can only recommend coming here :)

Ideally located in the very center of Munich, two steps away from Viktuallienmarkt, this place is for meat lovers and did not disappoint! We shared a T-Bone for 4 persons with mashed potatoes, fries and beens. The meat was delicious and paired with pepper and béarnaise sauce. Italian wine was picked from a good and wide selection of wines. Overall, this place is a bit pricey but worth trying. Service a bit long.

A great restaurant with great service. It is in the higher price range but it is definitely worth it.

Wow. So ein zartes Filetstück hatte ich schon lange nicht mehr. Die Beilagen zum Fleisch sind mehr als zu empfehlen (Humitas, Steak-Frites, Trüffelgnocchi). Der Service war sehr freundlich und wir hatten einen wunderschönen Abend auf einer gemütlichen Terrasse in München. Die Einrichtung ist sehr ansprechend.

Don't go there! Rude waiters. We waited more than 20 minutes for the waiter. We got some tap water and when we asked to leave because no one come to take our reservation they charged us 10 Euros for the tap water!

The atmosphere and restaurant are nothing special, the prices are high, the tenderloin is definitely good and of good quality.

¡No vayas allí! Camareros groseros. Esperamos más de 20 minutos por el camarero. Nos dieron un poco de agua del grifo y cuando pedimos salir porque nadie viene a tomar nuestra reserva nos cobraron 10 euros por el agua del grifo!

One of the best meats I ever had and the staff seems to speak all kind of languages which was great.

Excellent restaurant à viande. Produit de qualité, bons accompagnements, vins excellents. Bémol toutefois sur l’accueil.

Poor service, exorbitant prices for very average food. You can do much better in Munich!

Everything is truly top-notch. The food, service, and ambiance are amazing. It makes your heart race and feels like a little getaway...👍💗

Unfortunately, I didn't have a reservation. We got a table without any time pressure (high table), but it was still worth it! The meat quality was very good. The service was very good. The atmosphere was very good. Munich + steak = El Gaucho

The food was mediocre. The prices were way too expensive. Service was unfriendly.

I would love to come back, I can only recommend

A superb steakhouse! 🥩We come to El Gaucho regularly and are always completely satisfied with the service and the food. 🤤 Please keep it up 👏👏

Excellent steaks! The chef cooks them just the way you like them. I'm particularly impressed by the King's Cut: buttery soft and slightly crispy on the outside, even when medium/well-done—and perfect for two people. There's also a selection of other dishes. The appetizer is very delicious—olives, salami, and dips with delicious bread. For dessert, I recommend the plum sorbet. The service is excellent 👍. The ambiance varies: the main building is elegant and stylish, while the annex exudes a quiet, private atmosphere. Both have their charm.

Exceptional meat restaurant with pleasant service and a terrace allowing you to enjoy sunny days.

A spectacular place. First-class service. Malena took excellent care of us and got us a table. The entire staff was excellent! It was a very busy day, and they served us exceptionally well. Highly recommended. The meat was delicious, cooked to perfection.

The appetizers were the best. Not in pictures. La empanada, shrimp and chorizo with cheese. Were all delicious. The lamb chop was okay and the Japan ribeye could have used salt and pepper.

Unfortunately, I can only give 5 stars. If I compare El Gaucho with my other 5-star reviews, I would have to lower this one by at least 1 star. You are treated like a guest from the very beginning. In the most positive sense. Everything I ordered was presented promptly and with clear instructions. The waiters zipped through the restaurant with friendly smiles. That's why I went there twice during my vacation in Munich. Whether I was served by Fabio, Elias, Serjan, or Lisa, they were all the best you could imagine in a "waiter." I would also like to mention Leo by name. He cooked my meat perfectly both evenings. Before the main course, I ordered the appetizer. A crispy, warm, sliced ​​roll with garlic cream, slightly spicy Obazda (traditional Austrian cheese), olives, and small salami sausages. My main course consisted of a first-class roast rump steak and a small mixed salad with excellent dressing. On my second visit, I ordered a fillet steak with steak fries and another small salad. Also perfect. For dessert, I chose the "white poppy seed tart." A mascarpone poppy seed cake with rhubarb sauce, lemon ice cream, currants, and mint. A dream. The second dessert was an "Eispresso." A scoop of vanilla ice cream over which an espresso was artfully poured. A truly delightful taste experience. Both times, I sat down at the small bar after dinner. Despite the many orders from the restaurant, both Spiro and Tobi always found some time for typical bar conversation. The cocktails they mixed for me were creative and delicious. They are masters of drinks from the menu. I also gave both of them the opportunity to create a drink according to my taste. Task more than perfectly accomplished. Conclusion: It's not cheap to eat here, but it's reasonably priced. An experience worth treating yourself to. A word to the chef, Lukas Grossauer. Thank you for letting me be your guest. You have a fantastic, first-class team there.

Ein Besuch im El Gaucho lohnt sich auf jeden Fall – besonders für Fleischliebhaber, die Wert auf Qualität und Ambiente legen. Dieses Mal waren wir im Private Room im Innenhof untergebracht – eine coole und stilvolle Räumlichkeit. Leider war es an diesem Abend dort deutlich zu heiss, und die Fenster liessen sich nicht öffnen. Der Kellner tat uns so richtig leid. Das war aber auch der einzige Kritikpunkt. Der Service war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Das Steak war sensationell – perfekt auf den Punkt gegart und von hervorragender Qualität. Die Beilagen waren in Ordnung, die Weinkarte sehr gut sortiert und passend zum Konzept des Hauses. Die Preise sind definitiv nicht günstig, aber Qualität hat eben ihren Preis. Wer eher preisbewusst unterwegs ist, ist hier möglicherweise nicht an der richtigen Adresse. Unser Fazit: Wer sich gerne mal ein wirklich gutes Stück Fleisch in besonderer Atmosphäre gönnen möchte, ist im El Gaucho genau richtig.

Yes, I can recommend the place.

The food was okay, but I've had much better steaks in Munich. The price/performance ratio wasn't quite right. The staff seemed listless.

We've visited quite a few steakhouses in Munich, but El Gaucho clearly exceeded our expectations. Great cocktails (caipis), wonderful and perfectly prepared steaks (king's cut!!!), tasty sides and outstanding sauces. Plus, the excellent service. El Gaucho is on our personal favorites list... Great...

the meat was good, decent for munich. a bit too pricey but the service was good enough to think about going back. good wine selection

The worst restaurant in Germany! Too expensive, the food doesn't taste good. It can't be an Argentinian restaurant if they don't even know what chimochurri is

Great steak in viktualienmarkt, I asked for blue cooking, and they nailed it, the dry age beef is great.

Super class steakhouse! Really great restaurant, top meat quality, absolutely professional staff

Super quality, top service, cozy atmosphere

A stone's throw from the center of Munich, it is advisable to book

Food was excellent, but service was lacking.

El Gaucho, Munich – A Truly Outstanding Experience Our visit to El Gaucho in Munich was an extremely pleasant surprise. The staff were exceptionally friendly, attentive, and highly professional, offering service that was thoughtful without ever feeling intrusive. The quality of the meat was outstanding — without a doubt among the top three steak experiences I’ve had in Munich so far. I was also very positively surprised by the pricing: given the excellent quality, the prices are fair and reasonable, especially compared to many other steakhouses in Munich that charge excessively without delivering corresponding value. The steaks were prepared exactly to the requested level of doneness — a true art that, sadly, many establishments no longer master, despite their premium pricing. In short: El Gaucho delivers on all fronts. We will definitely be returning!

Stunning steak in a relaxed restaurant

Very nice and high quality restaurant near Viktualienmarkt

Wonderful Munich steak experience with Lucas making sure you are well attended to

We waited a bit for the table we had booked, the tip is usually optional, but they added it by right without asking

The food was really very good and we really enjoyed it. Unfortunately the service from the waiter Lukas was disappointing. He was rude and made several inappropriate comments. When paying, the bill was €75.70. I gave him €80, whereupon he only gave me €5 back and said that I probably needed the 70 cents more than he did - and he also said that he basically didn't own amounts like 70 cents. In addition, he explained that you had to tip him at least 7%. When my colleague didn't give one, he commented that it was rude not to tip a waiter - even if it didn't make him any richer. Such unnecessary comments were very unpleasant and unfortunately tarnished the otherwise positive impression of the restaurant.

I've eaten in some restaurants but this one is amazing, highly recommend. Visited twice in April 2025. The best restaurant I think I've ever eaten in (I'm late 40's).

The meat was good, the waiter was very arrogant and with offensive comments forced us to give a tip saying that it's normal, when I didn't, he told me that if I gave a tip or less he wouldn't get rich. When paying my friend the amount of €75.70, he told him that €75 was fine since he doesn't have such small amounts and that he needed those 70 cents more. Place to avoid if as a customer you are treated like this.

Best steak in town, perhaps even Germany... Not cheap, but worth a visit. Always go back there when in Munich. This time (during Bauma fair) obviously very busy. Service took a bit longer because of that.

Good food and good service. Price is a bit expensive, but it is a place to celebrate something special

It was excelento! Great place to dine if you love beef. Great sides as well. Definitely recommend

No doubt, the food is excellent. It is a meat restaurant, so meat choices were very good. I would not say that though for the service. Waiting to pay for over 20 minutes when the restaurant is empty is not acceptable. Charging 4 euros for a tiny bit of ketchup and mayonnaise is even less acceptable when you charge 5.5 euros for side fries. It just does not make sense. No common sense whatsoever.

The quality of the meat was mega🌈

We came here for lunch, having just arrived from Salzburg. The beef tartare was truly delicious, and the Aperol was also excellent. We both had fillet steak, which was excellent. Our side dishes, such as truffle gnocchi and fries, were also excellent. This is our third time here and we're always happy to come back.

After waiting for an hour, the steak wasn't cooked enough; it was medium rare to rare, and it was ordered medium. The waitress took it back, but they weren't particularly interested and simply had little time. The meat quality, however, was very good.

Very good meat and excellent wine. Can only recommend a visit as a meat lover.

Good steak restaurant. Meat and service great. There was just a little bit missing for the 5th star... but it's definitely worth a visit again and fully recommended. 👍🏻

Amazing Experience at El Gaucho in Munich! I recently dined at El Gaucho in Munich, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The ambiance is sophisticated yet welcoming, perfect for a special night out. The steaks were cooked to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and exactly as ordered. The sides and wine selection complemented the meal beautifully. What truly made the evening memorable was our server, Mex. He was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Mex made excellent recommendations and ensured we were well taken care of throughout the evening. His warm and professional demeanor truly elevated our experience. If you’re looking for a top-notch steakhouse experience in Munich, El Gaucho is the place to go. Highly recommend asking for Mex as your server—he’ll make sure your evening is perfect!

Tengo la oportunidad de visitar Munich para una feria cada dos años. Me propongo venir a Gaucho (al menos una vez, pero dos veces esta vez). Excelente servicio, excelente comida, vino y cócteles. Tuve el mejor gin tonic de mi vida hace unos 8 años. Realmente no puede ir mal. Haga reservas para asegurarse de que puede entrar

Good quality of meat, side dishes are too small. Lamb's lettuce tastes very good

Great restaurant, highly recommended. The service was incredibly nice and accommodating. The steaks were perfect, buttery soft and super tasty. Starters and desserts are also a dream. No compromises at all, 5 stars!

Top Fleisch Qualität Das Essen war insgesamt sehr gut Der Service sehr, sehr freundlich Wir kommen wieder Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen

A good steak house. Great service and everything in a nice ambiance. Common prices for meat and steak.

We were waiting a lot. 40 minutes between what we ordered and what they served us. 30 minutes to bring us just the drinks (some beers). As for the food, nothing special. It was not extraordinary for the cost. From a quality/price point of view, it is clearly not worth it. There are better options.

Food was good. Unfortunately, the service couldn't remember the order and, despite asking again, brought the wrong degree of doneness. Don't like the back room so much, recommend specifying the front room when making your reservation.

Very tasty food, excellent cocktails and friendly staff. We were very satisfied and can recommend the restaurant with a clear conscience. Thank you.

One of the top addresses for steak 🥩. Great quality. It has its price...but it's definitely worth it. Very nice and attentive service. Nice ambience. Be sure to reserve. It's probably very popular. ☺️

We recently had the opportunity to visit El Gaucho Steak Restaurant at Viktualienmarkt and it was a wonderful experience! The ambience is inviting and cozy, perfect for a relaxing evening. The selection of steaks is impressive and I chose a fillet steak that was cooked to perfection - tender and full of flavor. The side dishes were equally delicious, especially the homemade fries and fresh salad. The service was attentive and friendly without being intrusive, which made the evening even more enjoyable. I highly recommend El Gaucho if you are looking for a great steak experience. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Thank you very much for a successful evening!

Best steak in Munich.. great service, nice manager. Top

Excellent meat and very tasty side dishes.

We had a wonderful evening. The food was excellent, the service was impeccable, friendly and accommodating. We were able to sit comfortably beyond the time window.

Very tasty, great service and very great wines 👍🏽

We are looking forward to a lovely Valentine's Day date. Starter with tartare was also really good. But then everything went wrong. Ordered ribeye medium and it came blue. Let it go back once to fry and it came out rare. Complained again and got a new steak. This one was blue again. It was even cut open in the kitchen and defined as “medium” by the waiter. Especially with ribeye, blue to rare is simply the wrong degree of doneness. The fat eye wasn't even cooked. Really disappointing across the board. You would expect something different, especially at a steakhouse. And the chimichurri is anything but chimichurri! The picture shows the third attempt, which is anything but medium.

Were there for the first time today. Really everything was absolutely great! Food very good and fresh - the beef fillet in particular melted in your mouth! Service with advice was also impeccable, friendly and accommodating. Quality costs a bit, but it was absolutely worth it to me! We'll be back!

Pleasant service. Excellently prepared food. Tasteful furnishings.

Excellent place! The food, the atmosphere, the staff, everything 1000000/10 ✨ I would return a thousand times 🇦🇷
