So the post got me curious about the controversial Gaucho burger, THAT and the curiosity about the benchamrks you use, no offence.

Last night, 10 of us got a table upstairs. Guess we missed out on the ambience on the bottom floor, all we got were glimpses of white crystal lights and water reflecting off a black wall….Not that the ambience on the top was any less impressive.

The service was great, with the Maitre’d, giving us an introduction to every kind of steak. After we got acquainted with our dinner, we placed the orders.

For a person with taste buds sculpted for spice and depth of flavour, I found the burger quite bland actually, juicy nonetheless. It was a Gaucho Burger – Sirloin – Plain. Didn’t opt for the mushrooms and cheese, cuz I’m trying to switch to healthy food habits, and I have a thing about mushrooms and fungus. :) Most of everyone else ordered beef steaks, with side orders of mashed potatoes which were also apparently yum

We’ve done dinners before, but to hear soo many people chiming “oh-my-god” in semi-chorus is paramount of our collective dining experience

The desserts were to die for, with something as exotic as chocolate chilli pudding (or something) being my favourite. I was in the minority. The pancakes with ice cream and cheesecake were very popular.

The main course was really filling and had some guys, loosening their belts, but the desserts were too great to let the opportunity pass.

The cow hide seats are a quite freaky to sit in cuz it has real fur. Apparently each seat costs 650 KD.

Apologies, if I’ve gone off on a rant, but this place really had me absorbed in its own little world for a while.

LOL, at almost 7 KD ($25.00 US Dollars) it better taste REAL good! LOL My company manager has real limited tastes and always takes us to Gauchos for company deals. After 4 years it is getting really old, sigh. Free food so why should I complain right? I actually might get the burger! Last time I almost got the ostrich to try something different because I make a great marinated steak at home all the time, still not sure if I want to just stick with a tried and true ribeye along with some lobster tail (I’m hoping they still have lobster!). I dont go out at all in Kuwait because I’m cheap and not satisfied with food tastes to justify paying so much. BBQ grilled chicken and beef for a couple KD is the extent of my splurging here!

5.750KD to 6.25 KD???!!! in what planet do we live! Am I buying the cow or just a burger??!! U should go around and check on overly priced food too. Is anybody actually monitoring these restaurants with their over-the-board-absurd prices????!!!Poof!….nothing compares to MY burger! I should open a restaurant!!! looks good but nothing beats my home made burgers…and I’m being modest!
Are people so desperate to go out and stuff their faces in Kuwait because of the social dilema?!.., that restaurants are actually taking advantage of US,the consumer! We need a price patrol!!!! lol

Gaucho’s burger is the best in Kuwait, not the best in the world, but the best in Kuwait. (and i am talking gourmet burgers).

Les: yes thats basically what i am saying, if they had used a better kind of bread it could have gotten a 4.5

Imagine Johnny Rockets burgers served with normal sesame seed dry super market bread… thats how important bread can be.

If that the case Realist; then all the scores under 4 or 3 maybe were done during a bad day and all should be re evaluated because maybe the cook in Fuddruckers or Gourmet Burger Kitchen were in a bad mood or maybe the reviwer in a bad mood? in the end its a personal choice and the review should be taken as an opnion not fact.

Mark – “The Gaucho Burger although a great burger was let down by the bread and if it wasn�t for that I do think it could have gotten a higher score. The final score is another 4 out of 5.”

So you’re saying that if the bread was more to your liking, this one would have gotten a 4.5! That would make it the best burger in Kuwait so far!
