The food was amazing. Had a party booked for 4 for a birthday. Ordered almost everything. The menu was really good. The service was really good too. The only problem was the bill came much more than expected. We paid around 100 pounds per person which does not include drinks.

Our somewhat large group of breast cancer survivors just met here for brunch, first time. The food was excellent with a range of selections from fresh salads to calamari. The eggs Benedict was fluffy and delicious and the parmigiana exceptional. The atmosphere was superb with a lovely DJ playing some real good vibes. The waitstaff were very accommodating. They left us alone to talk amongst ourselves but were also attentive and swift with our orders. I hope it's not appropriate of me to say -- they were all very attractive too! Great restaurant in Paddington, especially if you like to take a walk by the canal after brunch.

Gaucho Hampstead gave us an incredible evening! The food was delicious, and the service was spot-on—friendly and attentive throughout. What made the night unforgettable was the amazing Tango Night with professional dancers. The energy and passion they brought made the whole experience so special. Can’t wait to come back for another amazing night!
