Must be a London thing, all this talk of flash restaurants and corporate cards. I nearly cry if a meal out comes to more than forty quid for me and Mrs AUN.

Been to Gaucho a couple of times, when other people were paying, and always enjoyed myself. Treated myself and my wife to an anniversary meal at hawksmoor seven dials and that was miles better. Spent just under £200 all in, but didn’t feel ripped off. The service, food, cocktails, wine and the place itself were all blinding! I was a bit disappointed with Roast though, that wasn’t in the same league. If you want a decent lamb chop or ribs, just get yourself down Green lanes. You can pick any one of ten restaraunts and pay about £20 a head inc booze! A quality area of London for meat eaters!
Last Sunday I was in Kobe, the home of the world's best beef. I had to try and and it was just so different to every other steak I've eaten: medium rare without a hint of bloody texture despite being very red, so juicy. Probably a once in a lifetime experience so I didn't begrudge the 50p a gram price-tag... and I had one of the less expensive options!
What's this got to do with Gaucho? Nothing really!

Miyazaki > Kobe in the Japanese beef league!
I have learnt something today. But as I'm unlikely to go to Miyazaki I'll have to make do with Kobe!

Ha, my sister in law lives there and the locals are very protective over their status as Japan’s number 1 steak producers. I had to begrudgingly admit that it probably was the best beef I’d ever tasted.
So since this thread was started I’ve had a real craving for steak and thought I’d try and follow your tips and do it myself properly for once. Got a couple of decent steaks from the butchers round the corner...
Gauchos is bang average and very expensive. Goodman's in the city I would say is the best, followed by Hawksoor.
In Goodmans if you eat 80 meals in there you get your own silver steak knife that stays in a glass cabinet when you enter, below is your name engraved. Got some big footy names. Alan Brazil loves the steak in there, I've never seen a bloke with a redder face than him.
For the record I've had about 20 meals in there, all on the expense account taking clients. Sadly no silver knife for me

It looks like you burnt it so much the 2 steaks shrivelled into one

I'd say Goodman has slightly nicer steak than Hawksmoor. But for overall dining experience i.e. Starters, sides, drinks, atmosphere, then Hawksmoor is the better one to go to.

Out of interest @se9addick , how much was those two?
Walked through the food court at Marks yesterday and saw a piece of fillet was £6. No word of a lie it was so small you could have fit it on a spoon

A decent sized bit of fillet from a decent quality moo cow should be about a tenner mate

Previous boss used to take customers to the Canary Wharf branch. Taken a few times so great meals at no cost to me.
Looks like the Gaucho branches will survive.

It’s actually a pretty cool place.
