Gaucho Birmingham

Gaucho, the Argentine steakhouse group's Birmingham branch, occupies a grand former banking hall on Colmore Row and runs a Sunday roast built around roast rump of beef, served with crisp roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, unlimited Yorkshire puddings and bottomless red wine gravy; its menu lists the roast at around £27 per person, with a vegan roast at the same price and a children's version at £15. It sits in the premium tier for its central setting and steakhouse pedigree, and its position a short walk from Snow Hill gives it our joint-highest accessibility here. The trade-off versus the pub picks is price and choice: it is one beef roast (or the vegan option) rather than a spread of meats, and the room is a smart restaurant rather than a cosy inn. Choose it when you want a polished city-centre roast with the trimmings kept topped up. Price is indicative, served noon to 5pm, and may differ at other Gaucho branches.
