The newest Gaucho site, nestled in the heart of Covent Garden, pays homage to its heritage, returning to London after a decade of regional expansion. Gaucho is a dynamic addition to one of London's most culturally significant districts, located in an expansion of the old Royal Opera House.

The restaurant is loaded with distinctive design statements that highlight the cultural traditions of the location, while the base palette draws influence from our Argentinian heritage, drawing inspiration from the artistic spaces of Covent Garden and the passion-fueled tango clubs of Buenos Aires.
