Book NowAbout Gaucho's Argentinian Restaurant
Adelaide’s longtime fire-and-beef benchmark—anchored by an open-flame parrilla that treats red meat with serious craft. Gouger Street regulars point straight to the thick-cut eye fillet and rib-eye, seared over coals until deeply crusted and tender inside. Starters pull equal weight: blistered provolone cheese, flaky empanadas, and citrus kingfish ceviche. Tables fill out fast with crisp hasselback potatoes and charred greens, washed down with Mendoza Malbec or old-vine South Australian Grenache. The dining room runs loud and celebratory straight through to the crisp crack of crème brûlée.
- Woodfire-Grilled Cuts: Prime rib-eye, T-bone, and eye fillet seared over coals with chimney crust and house chimichurri.

- Signature Sides: Crispy hasselback potatoes, sweet-seasoned chips, charred broccoli, and dressed pear salads round out the feast.
