Gaucho (El)

Description

El Gaucho, situated in the basement of the Ambassador Hotel, is by far the most expensive, prominent and exclusive steakhouse in the Dom town. You will tend to come across business people and tourists who do not need to watch every Mark they spend. Therefore, expect to pay EUR 10 or more for a starter and frequently more than EUR 20 for a main course. Some dishes are more reasonably priced; there are a few between EUR 7.50-14.50 and spit roast beef for EUR 10.50. Along with steaks, the sweetcorn soup EUR 4, kingprawns in garlic and oil EUR 9.50, and artichoke hearts in 'Golfsauce' EUR 9 are some of the house specialities.

More than good steaks and Tango

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 5/18/08

The restaurant El Gaucho KÃ¶ln has the best meat quality of Argentine cattle. The best and the oldest (since 1973) traditional styled steakhouse and restaurant in Cologne.

A rendezvous with argentina

By El Gaucho Cologne, 8/18/07

You immediately feel at home when you enter El Gaucho. A hearty welcome in a warm, country-style setting, a juicy steak, fresh salad, a good wine and friendly service - all this will make your stay in one of Cologne's most renowned restaurants not only pleasant, but an unforgettable occasion. The El Gaucho is the first and oldest Argentinian restaurant in Germany. Since 1971 the El Gaucho has served its guests with genuine, Argentinian angus steaks, prepared on a central, open charcoal fire. Watch and enjoy the taste of these Argentinian specialties - just like gauchos in the pampas. El Gaucho not only stands for quality dining, but is also a part of authentic Argentinian culture in Germany.

Simply the best

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 1/8/06

Every time I visit Cologne, I make an effort to dine at Gaucho's. It is simply the best Argie steak I have ever eaten. Sited below a hotel and impossible to find, this basement serves up the most divine steak broiled in front of your eyes on an open grill. The dining area is small, cramped, noisey and hectic with traditional old geezers singing and playing guitar. The real reason to go however is this. Steak, Fries and Beer. Don't be a pansy. Don't eat chicken or veg. you are here for the best steak of your life.
