About El Gaucho de Banús - Argentinian Grill & International
El Gaucho de Banús is an Argentinian steakhouse planted right on the Puerto Banús marina, built on one thing: meat cooked properly. The 2,235 reviews average 4.4 stars, and they're consistent—people come for the beef, stay for the service. Black Angus rib eye, tomahawk steaks, American-cut ribs. The kitchen handles them to temperature without argument. Staff work the room with attention that doesn't hover; one reviewer noted Giorgio's manner specifically, another praised Madeline for the same reason. The terrace overlooks the marina. You'll sit at a table, not at a counter. Dinner runs €500–€600 for two with wine. It's not a casual spot. It's the kind of place where families bring kids and mention the magician as a surprise, where couples book for anniversaries, where locals return because the meat doesn't disappoint.
What Stands Out
Meat that justifies the price
One reviewer called it 'the best steak of my whole life.' Another: 'easily some of the best steak in Marbella.' The 500g Black Angus rib eye with pepper sauce was 'cooked to perfection.' The American-cut rib and tomahawk both mentioned as exceptional.
Service that reads the room
Reviewers specifically named staff members (Giorgio, Madeline) for attentiveness. One noted 'professional and attentive' service. Another: 'very atentos sin agobiar' (attentive without fussing). Described as 'excelente atención' across multiple reviews.
Marina location with working atmosphere
Described as 'lovely place for dinner right by the marina' and 'precioso, justo en el puerto, con una terraza que tiene muy buen ambiente.' Full by evening with 'buen ambiente.' One reviewer noted a magician as added entertainment.
What Customers Say

Frequently Asked Questions about El Gaucho de Banús - Argentinian Grill & International
Expect €500–€600 for two people with wine. One reviewer flagged the suggested 10% tip added to the bill, which they felt unprofessional given the total spend. Budget accordingly.
The Black Angus rib eye (500g) with pepper sauce. The tomahawk. The American-cut rib. Reviewers mentioned these by name as exceptional. Skip anything that isn't grilled meat—that's what you're here for.
Yes. One family mentioned a magician entertained their kids. Another large group praised the service and atmosphere. It's a full-service restaurant, not a bar, so it works for celebration dinners and group bookings.
No online booking is available through the venue, but the website is gauchobanus.com. Call ahead—it's on the marina in peak season, so tables fill.
