As we went to press, the Argentine steak restaurant chain Gaucho was gearing up to open in Newcastle, where it promised to serve the first carbon-neutral beef in the North East.
Gaucho serves beef from natural grass-fed Argentinian Black Angus cattle. Not just for steak lovers, while the lunch and dinner menus include a range of steaks, they also include the likes of vegan beetroot tartare with mango ‘yolk’, avocado, sourdough crisp and buttermilk dressing; tuna tiradito with coconut milk dressing, lime and plantain crisp; cauliflower steak with chive oil and lemon; and beef and malbec pie with cheddar pastry.
Housed in a Grade II-listed building on Pilgrim Street, the new venue features a glamorous cocktail bar stocked with organic wines and sustainable cocktails.
