Very cozy and beautiful location in the city center of Munich. The meat is top quality, perfectly cooked and the service is lovely. (I was absolutely surprised by the super tasty grilled veggies, which I really didn't expect to be so good). Also great bartender for cocktails! Definitely recommended!

The steak was juicy and flavorful because it had just the right amount of fat — exactly the type I like. The fatty edge on the outside was nicely crispy and tasty. One small thing that could be improved is that one corner of the steak where the thick fat are,was not cooked through enough, which made it a bit difficult to chew. The service was excellent. We sat outside and really enjoyed the atmosphere. It would be even better with some relaxing background music.

It’s surprising how big the difference can be between the European and Asian branches of the chain I’ve visited — at least across most locations I’ve been to. The restaurant itself is quite simple, smaller, and more modest in both interior and overall atmosphere. The kitchen, however, is genuinely tasty and well executed — I wouldn’t call it “wow,” but it is at a solid level. The steaks are decent, while the salads leave room for improvement. A bit more warmth and smiles from the staff would also improve the experience. That said, it is still an upscale place and definitely worth visiting for the quality of the food.

We didn’t have a reservation and arrived hoping there might be a table available. Luckily there was space for us and we were seated right away. The staff were very friendly and welcoming throughout our visit which made the whole experience even better. Everything felt relaxed and well organized and we really enjoyed our time there. The restaurant is specialized in steaks and it really shows that this is their main focus. The food was absolutely amazing. The menu was very diverse in terms of different types of steaks sauces and side dishes so there is something for everyone. The steaks were especially outstanding probably some of the best we have ever had. They were cooked exactly as requested very tender and juicy and paired perfectly with the sauces and sides. Overall it was a fantastic experience with great service excellent steaks and a very pleasant atmosphere. We would definitely come back again and highly recommend it.

​If you are a steak lover in Munich, El Gaucho am Viktualienmarkt is a top-tier choice. We had a fantastic spread, and the quality of the meat and preparation really stands out. ​The Highlights: ​The Cuts: We tried the 20-day aged ribeye and the hanger steak. Both were cooked to perfection. The ribeye had a deep, concentrated flavor, while the hanger was incredibly tender and juicy. ​The Star Topping: The ribeye came with an amazing butter herb garlic sauce along the top. It was rich, fragrant, and melted beautifully into the char of the steak—easily the highlight of the meal. ​The Sides: The grilled vegetables (corn, peppers, zucchini) were vibrant and had a great char. The fries were perfectly golden and crispy, and the Caesar salad was excellent, topped with massive, high-quality shavings of parmesan. ​The Drinks: Their Whiskey Sour was expertly balanced with a smooth foam—a great way to kick off the dinner. ​The service was professional and the atmosphere was vibrant. Whether you’re looking for a classic aged ribeye or a specialty cut, you can’t go wrong here. Outstanding!
