While spending a few days on holiday we always love to have dinner at restaurant in the city. Normally you have the option to dine in the hotel where you are staying and sometimes that’s very easy since you don’t have to walk or travel but it’s often also boring and you are missing out. We saw this El Gaucho restaurant which is an Argentine restaurant in the city of Cologne. I always love the idea of a steak and what’s better than a steak made in an Argentina restaurant?

From the outside the restaurant looks really inviting and has really that Argentina feeling. The inside isn’t much difference and it’s like walking into a restaurant 100 years ago. It’s a typical Argentina style restaurant like you see in movies with the wooden chairs and tables but especially a lot of attributes hanging on the wall and old fashion lamps hanging from the ceiling. The restaurant was already quite busy but they had a space for us to sit. Think we were just on time because half an hour later it was full.

When we arrived we were shown to our table and first we could order our drinks and then we got the menu. They had surprisingly quite an extensive menu with starters, main course and desserts. Of course i went for the Argentina steak! The steak cost around 17 euro’s which is a bit pricey but you do get a large steak and some side dishes. I could hardly finish it all so that must say something. The plate was well presented with some potatoes and vegetables and it looked all very well prepared and it taste good. We had a few Argentina wines that went really well and even got a big tipsy at the end of our meal. I blame the waiter because we was overly friendly and told us to try a few wines. At the end i noticed that he didn’t even put them all in the bill and he said it was on the house. Really nice.

After the big steak i was full so no dessert but i saw they had a nice selection. We spend almost 60 euro’s which isn’t a lot i think for two people having a nice meal and a few drinks. I think the restaurant is wheelchair friendly although it was small and the tables were close but they can hold a table free in the beginning of the restaurant. The toilets were clean in they were located in the back of the restaurant. They looked well taken care of.

We had a really nice time at this restaurant and there was friendly staff and good food. The whole time we were there the restaurant was busy and full. Great place to grab some dinner! I think this restaurant deserves five stars because everything came just together and I could understand why it was so busy that night! Great restaurant in Cologne.

For over 36 years El Gaucho has served its guests with genuine, Argentinian angus steaks, prepared on a central, open charcoal fire. Watch and enjoy the taste of these Argentinian specialties - just like gauchos in the pampas. El Gaucho not only ...Read more
