🔥🍑 Some desserts are made. This one gets grilled.

Our Grilled Peach Melba starts over the flame, where fresh peaches develop a light char and caramelized sweetness before being paired with raspberry melba, orange marmalade, and vanilla bean ice cream.

Proof that fire isn't just for steaks.

Join us for dinner and save room for dessert. Trust us on this one.

🦐🔥 You're going to want to save this for later.

The secret to our legendary Wicked Shrimp? A little heat, a little butter, and our signature El Gaucho Spices.

1 fl. oz clarified butter
5 U-15 prawns
1 tsp garlic, minced
1 tbsp EL GAUCHO WICKED SPICE
EL GAUCHO SEASONING to taste
1 fl. oz dry white wine
1 fl. oz beer
½ tbsp Worcestershire
2 fl. oz lobster veloute
1 tbsp butter, salted

Heat clarified butter in a sauté pan until hot but not smoking. Add prawns, El Gaucho Seasoning and cook until prawns curl slightly (about 30 secs). Turn prawns over and cook 30 secs. Reduce heat to medium, add garlic, cook for 15 seconds. Add Wicked Spice and cook 15 seconds to toast the spice. Add wine, beer and Worcestershire and reduce for 1 min or until liquid thickens slightly. Add lobster veloute and reduce. Whisk in salted butter to finish. Serve with grilled bread.

Our spices are available for purchase at all El Gaucho and AQUA locations and are also sold in Metropolitan Market and Zupan’s.

Some recipes are worth keeping. This is definitely one of them. 😉

🔥🥦 This is where the magic happens. Our chefs give each stalk of Charred Broccolini a turn over the open flame, blistering it to smoky perfection before finishing it with garlic oil, lemon zest, and Manchego cheese.

Proof that even the vegetables at El Gaucho Portland get the full VIP treatment.

🦞🥩 Some people order dinner. Others choose to have an experience.

An 18 oz Canadian Lobster Tail served tableside. A perfectly prepared steak. Drawn butter flowing freely. Questions like, if indulgence had a love language, this would be it.

Join us at El Gaucho Portland and treat yourself to a dinner worth remembering.
