Join us this Valentine's Day for a romantic evening set in candlelight with cocktails, finest wines and Latin inspired dishes. Looking for something extra special, our Valentine's menu for £55pp including a bottle of wine is perfect to share. For starters dive into a Black Truffle and Mushroom Fugazetta (a decadent Argentinian-style pizza), for mains choose from our top cuts of steak plus sides, and to end on a sweet note we have a delicious berry-laden Mille Feuille with Chantilly cream.

Just a short stroll from Waverley Station and steps from St. Andrew Square, Gaucho Edinburgh is our first restaurant in Scotland, bringing the finest free-range, grass-fed Aberdeen Angus beef from Argentina to the heart of the city.

We proudly celebrate Scottish produce, working with Campbell’s Meats, the world-renowned IJ Mellis cheesemonger and Mark Murphy fruit and vegetables. Of course, we have a cocktail using Irn Bru and are pleased to serve Stewart’s Craft Lager, brewed out of Loanhead.

Pour Decisions | Tequila

Like tequila? Us too. Come join us for an evening that champions, celebrates and heroes our favourite Latin American spirit as we partner with legendary brand Patron on an exclusive dinner series. Plus, we’re ecstatic to share the triumphant return of Cafe Patron XO to Gaucho – we are the first restaurant in the UK to welcome it home. The coffee-based liquor has left a tequila-shaped hole on our shelves for the past three years, but you can look forward to a shot of the sweet digestif to round off your experience with us. For £80pp, the tequila-tinged menu includes four courses of Gaucho classics paired with a Chimichurri Margarita, signature Ginger Tommy's and Classic Margarita. And to finish, a shot of Cafe Patron XO.

Bella our waitress is what made the evening a very good experience tbh she was friendly and helpful hardworking and we had a good laugh with her . Atmosphere was a little louder than we expected but still an overall good night for valentines night . The valentines menu was a good mix of light starters and deserts with a good size sharing meal for 2 as a main ! Service was exceptional Bella deserves a pay rise 😊
