About Gaucho Covent Garden
Two floors of Argentine soul meet London's theatre heartbeat at Gaucho Covent Garden on James Street, where we've created distinctly different experiences under one roof. Our ground floor greets you with natural light streaming through the windows, highlighting the bold Aztec patterns on our upholstery and the metal horseshoe details we've carefully placed throughout – touches that bring Buenos Aires right to WC2E 8BT. We open early at 8am for breakfast, transforming throughout the day to accommodate business lunches, pre-theatre dinners, and those leisurely afternoon drinks. The space feels bright and energetic, perfect for celebrations that need that extra sparkle. Head downstairs and you'll discover our basement level – darker, more dramatic, with pleated curtain walls that echo the grand theatres surrounding us. This theatrical setting creates the perfect backdrop for more intimate gatherings and special occasions. Our kitchen specializes in premium Black Angus beef from Argentina, while our cellars house one of London's most extensive Malbec collections alongside carefully selected South American wines. The bar team crafts signature cocktails like La Pasión Del Chocolate and El Niño, adding another layer to your celebration. We've designed our weekday set lunch menu for efficient business entertaining, while Sundays bring a more relaxed pace with our Argentine-inspired roast. When Friday and Saturday nights arrive, our basement transforms completely. The space becomes a speakeasy-style club where live tango dancers perform, DJs keep the energy high, and our cocktail bar stays open late. This dual personality – sophisticated restaurant above, vibrant club below – makes us particularly suited for groups wanting dinner followed by late-night entertainment, all without leaving the building. Post-theatre crowds mix with birthday parties and corporate celebrations, creating an atmosphere that's uniquely Gaucho yet perfectly Covent Garden.
