Gaucho Hampstead gave us an incredible evening! The food was delicious, and the service was spot-on—friendly and attentive throughout. What made the night unforgettable was the amazing Tango Night with professional dancers. The energy and passion they brought made the whole experience so special. Can’t wait to come back for another amazing night!

This sushi restaurant was highly recommended to us by a friend who lives in the Paddington area as being someplace that's well worth the visit. We got here right as the dinner period was picking up and booked ourselves int. We had a bit of waiting, once our table was ready - wow! The sushi was some of the freshest and most delicious that we've ever had. We shared the salmon roll, soft-shell crab, and tuna roll, as well as a beef buns, and everything was utterly fantastic. The staff were super professional and polite, and the food came out in good time, which is a sign that they took great pains to serve food that was both delicious and aesthetically pleasing. The restaurant itself is pretty small, which might account for part of the long wait - this place can only accommodate so many people. Beautiful and Very Good!!!

Incredible high quality food and a very relaxed dining experience (we sat in the winter garden heated seats and didn’t get cold). Staff were great, attentive but not crowding. Would highly recommend. I had the confit duck and potatoes.
