Its a great place in a very nice ambient. Its located next to Polo fields and lots of greenery. For sure one of the better places in the area. The food presentation is good and the steak quality was also fantastic. Again this is in comparison to what else is available within that region. A bit pricy but its made up for by the location. Not bad to go to for special occasions.

Staff excellent great customer service. Fitted us in at short notice for Sunday lunch without a booking. Mains came really quickly and roast dinners lovely, Yorkshires a bit stodgy but everything else great. Kids burgers a bit burnt so they didn't eat them we didn't complain but waitress came back to ask why they didn't eat them and then knocked them off the bill with no fuss. Took a long time to get desserts think they must have been a bit short staffed and it was very busy but although run off their feet staff still had smiles on their faces. But worth the wait and we weren't in a hurry. First time I've been there will definitely be returning.

Visiting over the Christmas Holidays by lucky chance the full Thai menu was offered at lunchtime rather than evenings only so we jumped at the chance to spoil ourselves.
Suri and her team provide a lovely welcome and the service is excellent.
Although it was New years Day; the weather was good enough to sit outside and the 2 lit ovens made for a lovely warm atmosphere.
We shared starters of Spring Rolls and Crispy Prawns which were both delicious and came with delicious dips.
Then we shared a Penang Curry made with Sirloin of Beef which was outstanding. We felt a bit cheeky asking for the sublime sauce that remained to be packaged up for takeaway; but it was done with a smile and will be reheated and poured over our Chicken dinner at home tonight.
Great venue - super staff and excellent food.

The food is very good and great value compared to its nearby neighbours.
We can order from memory as sadly the menu hasn't changed in almost three years.
Mind you; if it ain't broke - don't fix it!
So Goats Cheese, Mixed Leaves and seeds Salad it was, followed by Hoummus and Prawns: then the heavenly and divine Jalufo Ribs. Lastly a Mini Burger to share.
With three drinks there was still change from €25 plus tip.
Service is prompt and the place always has a buzz at lunchtimes when we visit. Just more comfortable high stools would be nice but hey the food is what we come for.

We decided to give this restaurant another chance.
I am glad that we did although it was not perfect
We were struggling with what to have as a starter......we didn't really want calamari or similar as we have an amazingly well priced and tasty go to for that type of food...and actually the same for cheese and ham etc... so refuse to pay the prices they were asking. So we were actually a little stuck with what to have, until the waiter told us of whitebait as a special - so we went for that and it was very tasty, although not the type of starter we really wanted before a steak but never mind ....
The steaks were beautifully presented and very tasty, although I will have to ask them to go easy on the pepper next time as it was a little too much!
The desserts were also beautifully presented and very tasty.
I am sure we will be back one day but I am not sure how quickly!

Booked on the recommendation of a local friend and as the Belgians have a wonderful food tradition had expectations of some good franco cooking.
Were offered three separate menu's on arrival which was messy - the standard mixed Mediterranean so called A La Carte; an all inclusive festive menu and a 'game menu' - 2 of the 7 items were not available.
Perhaps bizarrely we opted for Gambas Pil Pil from the Main Menu - very tasty if a bit touristy and Wild Boar Stew from the Game Menu - grey brown tasteless pieces of who knows what meat in a grey watery dish, not at all appetising.
Followed this with what used to be called Crepe Suzette - nice enough.
Conclusion, never order game in a tourist restaurant by the port and don't expect much from a tourist restaurant by the port.
Most expensive meal of the week at €124.00 for two - you decide.......we have

El Gaucho was the first Argentinian restaurant to open in Sotogrande, since 1985. Our goal is to provide high quality steak outlining the simple and uncomplicated pleasures of life. Because who needs more?
Reviewed By Claire G - Haslemere, United Kingdom
Based on the strength of trip advisor reviews, and after learning that our dog was very welcome to join us, I booked this restaurant as a special Xmas treat.
The staff were very welcoming and friendly, but a little too attentive as at one point we had three different people all asking for our order again and again in quick succession. To be fair, when we asked to not be rushed they left us alone, but it was a frantic start to the meal.
We all ordered the Sirloin Steaks, two of us with chips and the other with baked potato.
The chips were thin cut and crispy and I really enjoyed them, especially with the garlic sauce. One member of our party disagreed though and was glad of his baked potato.
My steak was medium rare as requested, and flavoursome but somewhat tough around the edges, so the first bites were disappointing. The pepper sauce was thin and the house red was ok but nothing out of this world. However, my partner said his steak was to die for and he loved the sauce, so I suppose it’s down to personal taste. Sirloin can be a tricky cut of beef too, so I may have gotten a tough one.
We finished the meal with crepes which were nice, but again, nothing to rave about.
Overall I had a good meal at El Gaucho, and I would come here again as the staff are lovely and it’s the most dog friendly restaurant I’ve found so far on the Costa del Sol. I don’t think it quite lives up to the rave reviews on TA though, and I feel it is a little too expensive for what you receive, so the second visit may have to wait a little while longer.
