    Stunning decor. Restaurant and toilets are beautiful. Food and service was excellent. Prices are a bit above average but you’re paying for the setting and quality of service and food. Be aware though that a 12.5% service charge is automatically added to your bill. Would definitely recommend a visit to treat yourself or for a special night out.

    We were given a gift voucher , and an excellent gift it was. We were greeted at the door by friendly staff and shown to a table of our choice. We both had a ribeye steak and it was delicious. The staff were attentive but not overly and very courteous. We were delighted with our afternoon and will definitely be returning soon. Thank you Gauchos Cardiff.

    Food was brought quickly after watching it cooked. It was delicious, service was impeccable and the value for money excellent, and especially in such difficult times. An outstanding overall experience, and so good to be able to experience something so different.

    Visited for the first time with my mum and grandma for a girls night, we had a lush time! The food was incredible, so flavourful and fresh, already planning on visiting again. The restaurant itself is quite small and very busy but we didn’t have to wait for our table (we made a booking) and service was quick. My grandma is gluten free and pescatarian and there was a separate gluten free menu provided and plenty of options available for her. Thank you for a nice evening!
