Gaucho Newcastle’s hours are: Mon–Thu 12:00–22:30, Fri–Sat 12:00–22:00, Sun 12:00–21:00. It’s a good idea to book in advance for evening weekend slots and special dates.

Mains, especially steaks, are generally generous and centre-stage, but many guests say side dishes and sharing sides can be small. Several comments mention limited chip/sides portions and small sharing accompaniments, so consider ordering an extra side or two if you’re hungry. Prices are on the higher side, so guests sometimes expect larger side portions for the cost.
