In the glamorous setting of Puerto Banús, where Mediterranean luxury meets culinary artistry, El Gaucho de Banús has officially launched its new season. And it’s more ambitious than ever. Renowned as the temple of meat on the Costa del Sol, the restaurant now offers an elevated experience that brings together the finest beef cuts in the world with some of the most acclaimed wines on the international scene.
🥩A Celebration of Meat, Mastered by Fire
This season’s menu reads like a tribute to craftsmanship and heritage. El Gaucho de Banús has curated a line-up of meats that reflects both tradition and prestige. From its signature open-flame grill, the restaurant serves prime cuts with certified origin each selected for its marbling, texture, and taste.
Among the standout offerings are:
Wagyu Kobe from Japan, known globally as the pinnacle of beef quality, this cut is revered for its unmatched tenderness, intricate marbling, and buttery mouthfeel.
Chateaubriand, A timeless French favourite, this centre-cut tenderloin is celebrated for its smooth texture and subtle flavour, a true delicacy for refined palates.
Spanish Wagyu Sirloin, A homegrown gem offering rich, nuanced flavours and melt-in-the-mouth marbling; the perfect fusion of tradition and modern breeding.
Kansas Black Angus Top Sirloin, Full-bodied and intensely juicy, this premium American beef stands out for its bold character and exceptional grill performance.
Rubia Gallega, An iconic Galician breed, known for mature, complex flavours and a firm yet succulent bite. A celebration of Spain’s artisanal cattle heritage.
These cuts are not only luxurious, but also recognized globally. El Gaucho’s meat has been awarded in prestigious competitions such as the World Steak Challenge (receiving the Prime Certificate in both 2023 and 2024) and the Great Taste Awards, reinforcing its reputation as a European reference point for high-end meat cuisine.
🍷A Wine Cellar That Rivals the Grill
To accompany its meat artistry, El Gaucho de Banús presents a wine list designed for the connoisseur. Focused on Spanish excellence, particularly from the Ribera del Duero region, the collection features labels that have scored exceptionally high on the Parker scale.
The highlights include:
Valduero 1 Cepa Premium (99 Parker points). A deep, elegant Tempranillo with long, complex ageing that showcases the richness of Ribera del Duero at its finest.
NIC RES. (97 points). Bold and structured, this Tempranillo reveals layers of ripe fruit, spice and refined tannins. Perfect for pairing with powerful meat dishes.
Vivaltus 2018 (95 points). A modern interpretation of a Ribera del Duero classic. Velvety, balanced and rich in personality, it's a wine that leaves a lasting impression.
Each wine has been selected not only for its rating but for its ability to elevate the dining experience, whether it’s the silky finish of a Tempranillo or the bold backbone that pairs perfectly with Wagyu.
🔥More Than a Menu: A Cultural Statement
For Humberto Gacioppo, the founder of El Gaucho de Banús, this new season is not just a culinary refresh. It is a personal expression of identity and pride.
“El Gaucho de Banús, for me, is the opportunity to express my pride in being Argentinian — in having built, with sacrifice, a European benchmark for meat and authentic Argentine cuisine. It’s about honouring our traditions while creating something exceptional.”
—Humberto Gacioppo, Founder
This vision is reflected not only in the food, but in the atmosphere: the restaurant has hosted seasonal events complete with live tango performances, folklore music, and cultural showcases, offering guests not just a meal, but an experience of Argentina in the heart of Marbella.
