Dined in 3 January 2024 for a birthday date with my man…read more Whew!! When you see £££ believe it, but add an additional £80 to what you think it might be!! I knew it was pricy, but whew, I was not expecting that!! Color me shocked. As soon as we walked in and saw the dining area, we felt under-dressed for how fancy the setting looked. The lighting looked impressive, the dinnerware was extra sparkly, and the staff looked posh. But, as we walked in, we saw others in sweaters and sneakers. There is a free coat check by the receptionist before you are shown to your seat. She then walks you to your seat and provides the menu before your waitstaff greets you. The view of the bridge lighting up the night from inside is nice if you get a seat near the windows. Our table was more located in the center of the restaurant, but we were still able to have an okay view. Our server was Alessio. He asked for our drinks order: 1x glass of wine, 1x virgin pina colada, and later 1x virgin mojito, then when he returned, he asked if we plan on having steaks. Once I responded yes, he quickly disappeared...I was so confused before he pops back out with a tray of various cuts of steak (see attached image). He then proceeds to explain each cut and recommended pairings. After explaining, he disappears again, assumingly this time to take the tray back. He returned shortly afterward and took our dinner order. We ordered two cuts of churrasco Lomo (we actually wanted the ribeye steak, but I guess he heard otherwise. We didn't fuss.). The steak *was* ahhhmazing!! One steak, for the birthday boy, was topped with a half grilled lobster (yes, grilled lobster is listed on the menu as a "topping"), mashed potatoes, and mac & cheese. The other steak was accompanied with roasted vegetables. I'm not sure what type of vegetables were all there, but a few cubes were not pleasing to taste. The carrots, beet, and potato were good, though. While we were eating, a lady randomly came to our table and started pouring us more water. She did not introduce herself but instead asked if there was anything else we needed. She was dressed differently from the rest of the staff, so her presence was so confusing to me. She disappeared out of sight as quickly as she appeared, before I noticed her again at the receptionist desk. It was the weirdest interaction. Minus the unknown vegetables and the unknown lady, the food was great. The setting was great. There were two other parties there celebrating a birthday as well. I planned on having cake or some other dessert to celebrate, but we were entirely too full to even consider it. We didn't even finish our food and had to take some to-go. After we were done eating and decided we did not want dessert, I asked for the bill fully expecting mid-£100s, but was taken aback when I saw the actual amount. Keep in mind, too, 12.50% gratuity was also added. I'm used to automatic gratuity being added for parties of 5 or more, not for 2 people. Wow. Anyway, I paid and we left. Since we were there to celebrate a birthday, I was okay with the cost as I know it would be thee only time I went there. If you want, I would recommend trying it for a one-time experience, but I'm sure you can get similar food and experience somewhere else for a much better price.

A very average and overpriced meal. I kind of knew this would be the case after I learned Gaucho is…read morea chain but I tried it anyways. On entry it's already a bad first impression. The interior and feel of this place is very dated. It looks straight out of the late 90's, early 2000's with stark color choices, no warmth to the space at all, and a general feel of wear and tear on everything; a few seconds is all it takes to start feeling some regret about your choices. Unfortunately the food confirms it. We tried some empanadas, both beef and the chicken+chorizo versions, and they were okay - I've had better almost everywhere. But the steak was the real let down. I chose the specialty cut of the ancho (Rib Eye) and while it look pretty tasty, the texture was good, and the temp was perfectly medium rare, there was almost no flavor at all to the meat. Chimichurri sauce did not help it nor did the name "Ancho" which suggests there is going to be some bold flavors kicking out of this steak. To be fair, British beef has been very underwhelming in general so the locals clearly need to start from a disadvantage but as many cuisines and chefs have demonstrated there is a lot you can do with an otherwise lower quality piece of meat - none of that knowledge is demonstrated here. Service was mostly non-existent. Skip it.

I was so happy and while still full I decided I had to try their best dessert of which the owner brought me the caramel flan with ice cream...OMG! I loved the place so much I went back the last night before my flight back home. This time I had the Lomo Churrasco, french fries and spinach and for dessert asked my server for the second best dessert that did not disappoint- strawberry mousse. The service was quick and responsive. They bring you complimentary slices of their garlic beef on toast when your drink order is brought out, this alone is awesome. Letting you know that what they are about to feed you will be delicious.

Moo Cantina is a small Argentinian chain scattered around different areas of London. This…read moreparticular branch in Middlesex Street is not a place you'll usually find yourself looking for a restaurant unless you live or work in the area. Located near the back of Aldgate Station, the street was pretty empty in the evening and so it was not a surprise that we were first in the restaurant at around 6pm on a weekday. The decor here was pretty standard compared to their other branches which had a bit more colour to it. They went for the casual wooden bar look with dim comfortable lighting. Service was friendly and smiley which made us feel more welcomed in the empty restaurant. For food we went for the following: Argentina chorizo The meal started with the chorizo which was lovely and juicy, full of bounce and flavour unlike the supermarket ones you get. It was dressed with a slice of sweet red pepper which added a nice contrast of softness and drizzled over with chimichurri which added some tanginess from the vinegar and depth of flavour moving away from the red spices and to another variety of herbs that includes parsley and oregano. Provolone cheese A lovely rich cheese seasoned with spices before being grilled till it melted. They did however over salted it which made it hard to consume in large amounts, even with the accompanied toast. Fried beef empanadas Sometimes I still get cravings for their beef empanadas as its one of the best I've had. The pastry was crispy yet doughy and filled with a generous amount of minced beef, packed full of flavour and sweetness with the addition of vegetables and herbs used. Very juicy too. Baked sweet potato empanadas. Even more surprisingly was how good the sweet potato empanadas was. Soft velvety creamed sweet potato consistency in a more thin and delicate pastry. I really enjoyed the sensation of it all melting inside my mouth. Lomito Porteño I had to order their speciality dish, the Argentinian sandwich, similar to a panini being grilled too. We chose one with a rib eye steak in between and it was cooked medium rare as requested. It was good but I have had sweeter better seasoned steak. It was however saved by the other flavours. The salty provolone cheese gave it depth and seasoning whereas the addition of rocket and pepper add not only texture but a lighter refreshing taste. Napolitana lomito I much preferred this lomito. The beef being deep fried with a lovely herby batter gave the sandwich a greater flavour. The addition of ham made it more exciting and the mozzarella added bounce and helped wrapped everything together. All was finished nicely with the tomatoes and lettuce which gave it the moisture and lighter element it needed. Revuelto gramajo. What a great side to have. It was so moreish it was almost gone in an instant. Scrambled eggs with onions, peas and fries. It was fluffy, eggy, fragrant and warm. The ultimate comfort food. Highly recommended! Olivier salad Sadly this was disappointing. The dish consisted of potatoes, peas and carrots in mayo that tasted like it came out of a can. The peas didn't taste fresh and the mayonnaise was poor quality, lacking that rich eggy taste it needed. It was all under seasoned too. So overall the experience was good with some dishes really hitting the spot like the empanadas. For a chain it does well with reasonable prices. Although saying that they have made cuts, like their sandwiches no longer comes with fries. Just don't expect Wagyu steak and you can get a reasonable meal.

Everything was grilled right in front of me but the sandwich ended up being smaller than I expected, though the generous portion of chips made up for it. I would have been disappointed with the £10 sandwich though. Chips were excellent though I was annoyed that they didn't have any containers for sauce and instead squirted it right in the box, which made some of the chips soggy by the time I got back to my flat. The steak was a bit gamey honestly and didn't taste super high quality. I did quite like the bread the sandwich was on however. It was fine but I won't be adding it to my regular lunch list.

I put a ridiculous amount of chimichurri on mine, and it tasted like heaven. This food stand probably has one of the longer waits, but I guarantee you that it's worth it! My mouth is watering as I'm typing this. Will definitely seek this place out again the next time I'm in London!

From the outside, and when you squint through the window, you won't see anything flash or pretentious (looking at you Gaucho), but just wooden furniture and staff in jeans and over-worn, over-washed baggy restaurant tshirts. It's when you get inside that the smell hits you. My co-eater noted, with some delight, that it even smelt like South America - the meat, the wine, the spices. Mouths were watering. Down to business - friendly, if not a little indifferent, service and rustic, simple décor. In the middle of the room is the huge grill on which the slabs of meat were being cooked. It was fun watching these guys move the meat around, clearly knowledgeable and skilled. The wine we were recommended, a Malbec of course, was damn good. When my food arrived, there was a wry smile on my face. Perhaps it was a boastful smile. The sizzling paradilla that was squeezed onto our table was a meat delight. 2 sausages, 1 black pudding, a slab of provolone and the stars of the show, a huuuuge sirloin and a juicy fillet. Shared between two, this was more than enough. We went for a side of salad to compliment. The meat was fantastic. Really, very good. And the sign of a good steak - the fat from the sirloin was melt-in-your-mouth juicy and tasty. Such a treat. As we were one of the last customers to finish, we witnessed the staff setting up for an end of shift dinner. Steaks, bread, salads and bottles of wine were assembled on the table and they promptly sat down to eat together to see the night out. Nice touch that.
