El Gaucho

Graz


Set inside the evocative Renaissance Landhaus building, El Gaucho seems like an unlikely place to feast on succulent Argentine and local steaks (with sides like truffle gnocci that can be ordered as mains). The scene is lit in relaxing crimson and decorated with hanging glass bubbles, but in summer the best seats are in the buzzing courtyard.

You can also hang around here till 2am most evenings for drinks.
