El Gaucho

An honest review is the best, so I will be honest. We ordered a couples menu on Valentines day. It may have been a mistake, and indeed in the beginning we were highly disappointed by the amount of food that arrived (an hour and a half late, missing items, and one swapped). However, the service made it all up. We immediately got 10 euros compensation for the delay, and the manager called to ask what would make us happy. He personally arrived with a box decorated with "love" full of chicken (best chicken I've ever had) and another bag with some more things. Left us super happy and full! I would recommend preparing for a busy night better than they did, but I have to admit: the food was amazing (even if some of it was cold; steaks are not made for being delivered guess) and the service made us feel appreciated. I would have given 10 stars if not for the sloppy beginning. Can't wait for lockdown to be over so we can sit there properly!

Love this place so much, perfect in every way possible. Amazing food, brilliant friendly staff and beautiful restaurant. Been here many times and will come back many more. This place is one of my favorite places in the Netherlands. I can’t wait to come back there for my very favorite beaf steak and some empanadas😊

Loved the food! We went with a party of 4. You need to be really hungry to even consider trying the hugh portions. We all were full from the normal portions and all left very satisfied. Dishes we ate: gamba's, chicken, steaks. Sorry for the lack of pictures our appitide was to great to take pictures. 8,5/10

Super tender and delicious meat! Friendly service, and cozy atmosphere. Definitely coming back😊👍

One of the best restaurants in Leiden. Great meat, environment, and not expensive.
