El Gaucho Da Nang

Food, service and atmosphere. always perfect. Best steak house in Da Nang.

An establishment that caters to your meat needs, a good array of skillfully crafted meats that arrive from the US at least that what the host serving said). The dishes arrive with perfection, this was also complimented with a wine list mostly from the New World region, specifically Argentina. And why not?? They do have some great, bold, and flavorful, full bodied wines with high tannins, great with grilled meat. Had an excellent experience. On concluding they offered generous shots of caramel spirits.

I'm a foodie so I like splurge every now and then if I feel the restaurant is of high caliber. This is one of the most expensive restaurants I've been to in Da Nang so my expectations were higher than for a 30,000 dong rice noodles and bbq joint. My first impression was okay. I felt someone should've opened the door for me as I was approaching. Other restaurants at that price point do this. However, I was greeted and seated right away which is good. The interior was good--typical high end steak house, nothing exceptional but also nothing bad either. The waiter and the staff were okay but I've had better to be honest. I just felt the staff was a bit snobbish but maybe that's how they're supposed to act given this is a high end restaurant. Now onto the most important part--the steak. I ordered a T-bone medium well. The cut was good. I didn't need to saw at it with a knife to cut it. It was almost like cutting through butter. I asked for steak sauce which I know is a sin for a foodie but hey I like what I like and considering that I paid 1.2 million dong for the steak... The Mac n Cheese was delicious and it ought to be for 150,000 vnd. The arugula salad was simple but good. That was 100,000 vnd I believe. I was perturbed at being changed 120,000 for two Fantas. Given this place is ala carte and charges a pretty penny for everything 60,000 for a can of soda seems to be excessive to me. Overall I paid nearly 2 million for my meal. The meat and food were good but everything else not so much.

The food is great, but the restaurant is a bit shady, because yesterday evening, I dined there but I didn't know that there's a discount in which the lunch menu (the cheaper menu) is applied all day (lunch and dinner). So I went in and a waiter gave me the usual dinner menu. I didn't know anything until I went out and saw the discount sign just before leaving. I complained about the fact that they didn't mention the discount even though they did put a sign for the discount. And it wasn't even a holiday! In the end the waiter apologized about the issue and repriced the meal as stated in the discount. The restaurant seems to just care about profit.

Probably one of the best steak in Danang, it is quite expensive in Danang but in return you have a very nice steak, well cooked as you want. We tried her Wagyu Steak and US Prime Steak, the wagyu Steak was really excellent. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is nice and well air conditioned.
