El Gaucho in München

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

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 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.

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🌈

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.

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.

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!

I have the opportunity to visit Munich for a trade show every other year. I make a point of coming to Gaucho (at least once, but twice this time). Excellent service, excellent food, wine and cocktails. Had the best gin and tonic of my life about 8 yrs ago. Really can't go wrong. Make reservations to make sure you can get in

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!

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

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.

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!

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. ☺️

Thank you very much for a successful evening!

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

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.

Excellent meat and very tasty side dishes.

Very tasty, great service and very great wines 👍🏽

Pleasant service. Excellently prepared food. Tasteful furnishings.

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!

Super nice and attentive team. Good & competent advice. We spontaneously got a place on a Friday evening and the food was also very tasty. The only point of criticism is the somewhat long wait for food; we waited almost an hour.

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

From a good point of view nothing to say. However I was left very upset about the tip being already in the printed bill as if I can not decide how to spend my money.

Very good and nice service from Nicole and Srdjan. The food was also very good!!!

A classic of the Munich gastronomic scene, unfortunately a failure during our visit. The four of us visited El Gaucho with great expectations. In almost no respect did the restaurant live up to its reputation or its prices. About the ambience: Our table was placed in the rooms in the backyard. A bit of the charm of the main room is lost here, especially since the waiters regularly have to walk through the door just behind the guests. Not a perfect arrangement, but the interior design is convincing. About the food: For starters we had two types of tartare. High quality was offered here. The highlight should then be the tomahawk. Medium-rare was ordered and rare to blue was delivered. The pictures speak for themselves. More than disappointing for a steakhouse, especially with such a cut. Apart from the preparation, the taste of the meat was great. And so to the service, unfortunately the low point of an already unconvincing performance. When it came to wine, a (high-priced) Austrian wine was praised with strong opinions - without asking about the tastes or wishes of the guests. When the water was poured, a cell phone was first watered and then a plate was flooded. All of this without the service noticing anything. The sad finale is then the billing: the existing voucher was taken away by the service to check the balance. The information was 60€, but after asking it was actually 80€. The debit was then made via EC card without the voucher being taken into account. Again, a correction was only made after a complaint was made and the error was remedied with cash. I don't want to assume any intention. For over €500 you can certainly expect more. Too bad!

Srdjan and Nicole served great and the food was great as always

I ate at El Gaucho twice. Both times, several steaks at the table were raw, even though they had been ordered medium. The quality of the meat seems good. The fries were very good. But I think it's a real shame that the preparation fails in a steak restaurant. The service is sometimes a bit unfriendly, but the service at the table is very accommodating.

Even if you have to wait a bit for your food (the shop is always full, reservations are almost a must) the food tastes outrageously good.

The food is solid. Unfortunately, the shit here is systematic. There were 3 things on the bill that we hadn't consumed. Be careful when paying!

A really great steakhouse in a best location in Munich. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The menu is extensive and has something for every meat fanatic. My steak was cooked to perfection, perfectly tender and extremely juicy. My Bernaise sauce and my open potato were also in a class of their own. All in all, it was a wonderful evening. When we come back to Munich it will definitely be our first port of call when it comes to steaks!

Very great restaurant. Great food (great quality and great preparation) and really great and nice service…. Very accommodating. Gladly again and again.

PERFECT MEAT, EXCELLENT SERVICE WITH A NICE LOCATION! Very delicious - 💯

The meat was excellent, top quality and made exactly as i asked, but they forgot my drink couple of times and they forgot my side dish and then brought the wrong one… Also there is not much dessert options, one of the dessert we took was the cream brûlée, which was nice but the vanilla sauce just ruined it.

A stylish and delicious restaurant with excellent steaks. The service was extremely friendly and attentive. The meat was of excellent quality and was particularly tender and tasty.

Excellent service! Very pleasant atmosphere in the “private room” which was also well attended. The steaks were of very good quality, but could have been a little hotter. We had a lovely evening but reservations are essential!

Really a very good restaurant. If you pay attention to your €, you're in the wrong place here, let's get this straight - quality has its price! There were two people there, reservations are strongly recommended. We were placed in the Private Room, which sounds fancy, but it's just another room. We were warmly welcomed right from the start and treated throughout the evening. The staff is very polite and accommodating. Each had the 250g fillet including appetizer, side dishes, dessert and champagne. Everything was really great, not the slightest thing to complain about. I will definitely come back and would be happy to recommend you!

Absolutely excellent restaurant. Highly recommended.

The meat would have gotten a 5/5. However, the side dishes were very garlicky (so much so that you couldn't taste the vegetables anymore). The fries were good too, the wine list is okay. The staff was very nice, but some were simply untrained. All in all a nice restaurant, although a bit expensive for the side dishes.

Wirklich ein sehr gutes Restaurant. Wer auf seine € achtet, ist hier falsch, das schon mal vorweg - Qualität hat eben seinen Preis ! Waren zu 2. da, Reservierung dringend empfohlen. Wir wurden im Private Room platziert, klingt fancy, ist aber nur ein weiterer Raum. Schon von Beginn an wurden wir freundlich empfangen und auch den ganzen Abend über behandelt. Das Personal ist sehr höflich und zuvorkommend. Hatten jeweils das 250g Filet samt Appetizer, Beilagen, Nachspeise & Champagner. Es war wirklich alles top, nicht das geringste auszusetzen. Ich komme ganz bestimmt wieder und empfehle euch gerne weiter !

Great food Bad service Worth it

Their meat is very delicious. It's definitely a place we go to every time we come to Munich.

We had absolutely fantastic company dinner at the place. I had the best Rib Eye Steak ever, super tender meat. Overall quality of the food is fantastic, we had great time (dinner of 18 people). Service was excellent - both ladies were fantastic, the blonde lady from Czech rep. was unforgetable. Next time in Munich this is the place to be.

The meat and the atmosphere were good, but the level of service was really bad. We waited far too long to order. The servers were slow, uncourteous, and this made my customers uncomfortable. Really unrecommendable for a business meal.

Great service, perfect steak, recommended.

The meat was great. The service was very nice and accommodating, but everything was at the table a little too quickly. What was annoying after a while was the salsa/Cuban music on a constant loop.

I would only highlight the service,great service, The food did not exceed expectations. And being Argentinian I have to say that what they call chimichurri is not chimichurri!

A very successful evening! The service was excellent, especially the wine recommendation was convincing. The ambience is harmonious, pleasant and not too loud. The homemade bread with dips as an appetizer was a great way to start. We would have liked a little more sophistication with the make-your-own tartare, but the "El Gaucho skewer" with rump, rump, ribeye and fillet was simply first-class - perfectly prepared! The passion fruit sorbet for dessert was a refreshing finish. Overall a great experience. We'd love to come back!

A good choice for dinner. It is especially recommended for those who prefer steak. The place is stylish and has a good atmosphere. A place can be found without reservation. The waiter was very attentive. It can be preferred especially for dinner in its central location.

Nice atmosphere, lovely staff, delicious steaks

Disappointing service! They served us after half an hour at the table, without even asking us about the drink. Then, they did not explain amounts per person to us and we asked for little. With how slow they served us, we decided to leave without continuing eating. The truth is that it was disappointing how they treated us. They even began to clear tables of customers who had already finished eating and had left, and they still did not serve us... the food was certainly very good, but without a doubt we would NOT repeat in this place!!!

La comida estaba muy buena, pero el servicio era PÉSIMO. Nos atendieron cuando había pasado media hora, incluso para la bebida! No estaba muy lleno el sitio y antes de atendernos, recogieron 2 mesas de las que ya se habían ido los clientes. ¿Os parece normal tener a gente esperando e ir recogiendo otras mesas sin preguntar si quiera qué quieren beber o si necesitan recomendaciones para comer? Eso ya nos molestó bastante. La bebida tardaron en ponérnosla y encima se equivocaron. Sin tener ni idea de comer en un argentino, pedimos un plato de carne y el camarero no nos aconsejó. Pedimos menos de lo necesario y nos recomendó después. Esto nunca lo entendimos… Si ves que un cliente te pide muy poca comida, ¿no le preguntas si van a pedir poco a poco o si saben calcular los gramos de carne que tienen que pedir aprox? Así que nos fuimos lo más rápido posible porque también tardaron para darnos la cuenta y cobrarnos. En fin, no lo recomiendo. Creo que es mejor que pruebes en otro sitio si te importa cómo es el servicio. Si esto no te importa esto, la comida estaba muy buena.

As always perfect. The meat and side dishes are of exceptional quality. The service is high quality with exceptional friendliness.

I haven’t been here for a while but experience overall was disappointing. Came with my small dog and asked for a more quit area. That area turned out to be loud and noisy as more guest came. Ambiente is a bit run down by now. Service was good. I ordered a Tatar and steak for lunch. Tartar - fair pricing but I did not like the seasoning. However this was the decent, that is why I gave three stars overall. Steak - ask for a medium rare steak, let the picture talk for themself. Of course I was offered a replacement, but honestly how wrong can this go in a steak house ? Also way to salty seasoning. I did not take the replacement, as I did not wanted to waste (yes, a I also gave tipp) When checking out, the machine did not work, no problem. Waiter got a second one and left it there. So I entered the amount myself and left. No goodbye or anything.

Great evening in this restaurant. Everything was perfect. The meat is excellent, and the staff very friendly. To recommend.

Really good atmosphere and amazing kitchen 😄😄

I had an 800g ribeye steak, but the meat-cutting technique was poor. The steak was filled with white sinews, making it difficult to cut and eat. To make matters worse, the knife was dull, making it even harder to handle the sinewy meat.

I was a good customer with you (3 years), but since 2023 you have been skimping on quality. The price is no longer acceptable. Meat, cocktails, portions: everything has gone downhill. Please change that. I would rather pay more than “enjoy” something like that. Too bad. But of course, it's probably suitable for tourists.

I ate a 200g sirloin steak. I was there with a group of nine people. The service was very good. I found it relatively loud. The food arrived at the same time for everyone, but my rump steak was no longer nice and hot, but rather lukewarm. That bothered me. The taste, however, was excellent.

Visiting during Corona restrictions: after providing our personal information at the entrance, we were taken to our table. We were also informed that the table was “only” reserved for 2 hours. When we asked if we could extend it by 1/2 hour, we were kindly told that they would see if it was possible. All waiters always wore masks. We were served very courteously and were given very good advice when we asked about the wine. The food we ordered came quickly, but not too quickly, especially there was an appropriate break between the salad, which we ate as a starter and which was very good. The steaks were perfect (medium rare), the side dishes (potato and vegetables) were very tasty. After 2 hours we were told that the extension didn't work out, but that was fine with us. Overall, it was a successful evening with one downside: the distance to the neighboring tables was certainly less than 1.50 m... a shame.

Food really good Service is unobtrusive in the background, but always there when you need it. Ambience good, but too loud.

The meat is very good and it was exactly how I wanted it. Highly recommended.

We are regular guests and had invited friends. Unfortunately this time it was a bad idea. The meat wasn't good except for a ribeye steak. We'll take a break first and see if we can come back.

The meat was of good quality and cooked as requested. The side dishes are very expensive and few. The service was fine. The forces came by a few times, but only as often as necessary. The ambience was not outstanding. I liked it, but it was missing that special something that I was hoping for at these prices.

What a great steakhouse or Argentinian restaurant, the service caters to special requests, the grill master is Argentine and has already grilled for the Argentine national soccer team, which is noticeable. Great restaurant in a great atmosphere

The atmosphere is classy and nice, the service was extremely slow, the meats, especially the “filet” were great. wines are expensive.

Hermoso restaurante con comida fabulosa y personal encantador. Sin duda recomendaría. Es recomendable reservar a medida que se pone ocupado.

Good steak. Grilled as ordered. A bit chewy.

The food was TOP!!! Staff very friendly!! We were there 20 minutes earlier than reserved! It wasn't a problem! Can only be recommended, really a very good steakhouse

Este restaurante en el centro de München ofrece una maravillosa experiencia gastronómica. Pedimos el filete de rabadilla y filete, y el filete era especialmente sobresaliente – tierno, sabroso y perfectamente cocinado. La selección de vinos es impresionante, aunque los precios son más altos. El ambiente es acogedor, y el personal es amable y educado. El servicio fue un poco más lento de lo esperado, así que se necesita un poco de paciencia. Hubo una pequeña mezcla con el cambio de mi factura, pero probablemente fue un error honesto. En general, la calidad de la comida y el ambiente agradable hacen que valga la pena una visita.

This restaurant in the center of München offers a wonderful dining experience. We ordered the rump steak and filet, and the filet was especially outstanding – tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The wine selection is impressive, though the prices are on the higher side. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff are friendly and polite. Service was a bit slower than expected, so a little patience is needed. There was a small mix-up with the change from my bill, but it was likely an honest mistake. Overall, the quality of the food and the friendly ambiance make it worth a visit.

It's a restaurant we've been to 6-7 times, the service is fast, the waiters are smiling and attentive, the meat and wine are excellent.

Great location, excellent food and friendly staff I was at El Gaucho in Munich and really enjoyed the beautiful location and the fantastic food - really worth six stars, just great! The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made the visit particularly pleasant. However, there are a few small points that could be improved: It would be nice if the waiters would ask more often if you would like something more to drink. Even when the food was served, a quick question asking whether everything was OK would have rounded off the service. Despite these small things, the visit was overall a great experience. A big compliment to the friendly team - I'll be happy to come back!

Em tudo muito semelhante ao Little London, quer seja na qualidade do atendimento e da comida. 4 estrelas. Este tem a vantagem de ser mais iluminado e funcionar como bar/pub até mais tarde.

Great service, the food was delicious!

Slightly expensive but very delicious. The best rib eye I have eaten in Munich so far.

Zum ersten Mal hier gewesen. Das Ambiente ist wunderschön. Die Kellner, sowas von freundlich, höflich, aufmerksam und schnell. Fleisch zart und lecker, Beilagen ebenfalls. Leider muss ich ein Punkt abziehen, da wir beim reservieren (online) extra um einen ruhigen Tisch an der Seite baten und beim platzieren ( 17h ) man uns mittig setzte, obwohl noch kaum jemand da war. Auf Nachfrage setzte man uns um. Also warum nicht gleich. Und die Ochsensosse mit Trüffel roch zwar nach Trüffel, schmeckte aber wie normale Bratensauce. Definitiv werde ich sie nicht mehr bestellen. Auf jeden Fall gehe ich dort wieder hin.

An indescribable experience! The staff is very accommodating and really very friendly. Since there were five of us, we immediately got a larger table. The food is an absolute taste explosion. Steaks cooked to perfection and the side dishes are also excellent. We would love to come back and will also visit the restaurant in Vienna.

The food is great, the service is poor. Crazy orders, from drink order to food.

Super nice employees Very very good food Is only recommended 👍👍👍👍

Great service, very good steaks!

Meat lovers have come to the right place. Enjoy delicate Argentinian-style preparations by candlelight and in a great ambience.

Lekkere file steak, goede rode wijn (El Patron). Eten was er snel en de juiste temperatuur. Personeel erg vriendelijk, ondanks geen reservering hebben ze toch een plekje gecreëerd.

Since I don't eat overseas meat, I had to use the somewhat musty dry-aged ribeye from Austria. The supposedly best steak in the city was unfortunately over-grilled/not medium-rare and quite hard - I gave up halfway through. (I was there by invitation and didn't want to complain about it.) The side dishes were mostly ok and the service was friendly, but not very qualified and always somehow behind. Overall a disappointment.

Sensationell gut, top Fleischqualität bei den Steaks, perfekt nach Gar-Wunsch zubereitet, auch der Oktopus den wir als Vorspeise hatten war top. Tolle Weine, super freundliche Service Mitarbeiter, rundum ein schöner Wohlfühlabend in schönem Ambiente, direkt im Zentrum von München am Viktualienmarkt. Empfehlung sind absolut auch die Trüffelgnocchi.

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.

Fabulous steakhouse a real gem in Munich. We dined on Saturday night it was so good we went again on Sunday. Food was excellent and steaks were cooked to perfection, excellent service from the staff. A special mention for our server Mira last night she really looked after us. Thanks again we will be back again.

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