Fodor's Expert Review Gaucha Resto Winehouse

Another hotspot in the Getsemaní nighttime firmament, Gaucha is a steak house seemingly lifted straight from the streets of Buenos Aires. Classy minimal styling includes weathered whitewashed walls; heavy, bare wooden tables; a chequered tile floor; and oversized wicker lampshades that create soft dappled light. Of course, the design takes a backseat to the star of the show, a range of quality cuts of meat, well-sized and impeccably grilled. The classic bife de chorizo (sirlion strip steak) is excellent, but rest easy that more typical and richly flavored Argentine cuts like the vacio (flank) or tira de asado (Argentine short ribs) are superbly done and worth trying. Splurge on a good bottle of Malbec—there's a decent selection—and don't pass up the classy starters.
