Weekends in the City are quit quiet, yet there’s a massive party going on at Gaucho.
Gaucho, which sits right in the middle of the UBS buildings right near Broadgate Circle, is hosting Saturday Electro Brunch. It’s an excellent, fun and perfect mix of music, food, and alcohol, and it’s also the perfect place to while away a Saturday afternoon. And it’s not just brunch, it’s Electro Brunch, and it’s an orgy of food and alcohol, and a real live D.J. spinning electro beats, in a sumptuous and very classy atmosphere, all for the low price and excellent- valued £49.99.
Yes, for just £49.99 you get all you can eat and drink, from 11-4 on Saturdays, at the excellent price of £49.99.
We went on a recent Saturday afternoon to have a taste, and we were not disappointed at all. Brunch being the key word in the name, the food are all brunch items, and I tried to eat as much of them as possible to get a real flavor, and taste, of the menu, as the portions are starter size, so it was not a problem. The two small slices of the French Toast were perfect as they were served with peanut butter and strawberries. The Avocado on Toast – popular as it is now on menus – couldn’t have been more fresh. And my lunch companion wanted gluten free bread, and Gaucho accommodated her, no problem! She also asked for, and got, salmon on toast, a dish that wasn’t even on the menu!
Of course I had to have the Steak & Eggs, and it came out as ordered. Small portion, but the steak was mighty tender, and with Gaucho’s special Chimmichurri dressing, which is on every table, it made it all the more superb. The Oven Baked Chorizo Sausage was practically a main meal in itself and consisted of a nice slab of chorizo, fried eggs, delicious mushrooms and served in a small frying page, and while the chorizo was not as well cooked as I would’ve liked, it was very good. And the coup de gras were the Banana Pancakes. Though small, the two pancakes had almonds and just the right amount of syrup, dessert size portion, but it’s a dish that I would highly recommend – tres bueno! Also on the menu include Eggs Florentine, Fried Provoleta, Beans on Toast, Eggs Royale, and Bacon or Choripan Sandwich – there’s just so so so much! Plus when you sit down you are offered some freshly back croissants served with peanut butter – yummy! A great start to the main courses!
And let’s not forget the drinks. You get multiple choices of the Gaucho Bloody Mary, the Aperol Spritz, Rubia Pilsener Lager, and Domaine Chandon or non-alcoholic refreshing juices such as the Apple Gone Loupe or Orange Zinger, both very refreshing and cool. For £10 more you can upgrade to the Electro Brunch Premium, which includes the above as well Pornstar and Espresso Martinis! So you owe it yourself to experience this – you’ll have an amazing time with a staff that’s so very nice and lovely in a setting that’s delectable and delicious.
