El Gaucho

«El Gaucho» on Zatsepsky Val has been operating in Moscow since the end of the last century, keeping its signature Argentine style ever since. Meat here is grilled right in the dining room on an authentic Parilla grill and served on red-hot steel platters brought from Argentina. Embers smolder beneath the steak, so the meat keeps cooking right at the table — you need to eat it quickly, before it overcooks before your eyes. Every meat dish here comes with pineapple coleslaw, which softens the heaviness of a hearty steak and adds freshness. For those not up for a solid slab of grilled meat, the menu offers cheeks in a creamy morel sauce: after long braising, they turn into a tender soufflé without losing their meaty richness. The restaurant's menu combines Argentine and European cuisine, steaks and burgers. The average check is 3,000–6,000 ₽. The place is within walking distance of Paveletskaya metro station, at 6 Zatsepsky Val Street, building 2.
