The Restaurant

Gaucho Covent Garden – Nestled in the heart of Covent Garden, Gaucho is a vibrant addition to one London’s most culturally significant areas. Drawing inspiration from the artistic spaces of Covent Garden and the passion-fuelled tango clubs of Buenos Aires, the restaurant is layered with iconic design statements that reflect the cultural roots of the locality, while the base palette draws influence from our Argentinian origins.
