I adore Richmond. It is one of the few places I've found true serenity in London. When I'm in Richmond, I feel as though I've escaped to a small town in the country - yet there is still easy access to Central London by Tube, and other suburbs by bus!
My Mum, my boyfriend and I decided to go for a nice lunch at Gaucho in Richmond one very sunny and hot afternoon in April. It was the perfect day for photo's, so I took a couple snaps on my digital.
Gaucho is a great steak restaurant in Richmond, and there is also one in Piccadilly and Tower Bridge I believe. I've had their burger before (my boyfriend Alex got it this time) and it was incredible, and I've had some of their desserts which are also brilliant. My mum chose the "Entrana Fina" I think, which she said was very good and flavoursome. I, however, chose the rump steak at medium-rare, which I don't usually get (I usually go for fillet or ribeye), and unfortunately I didnt know that it would be more difficult to chew due to all the stringy bits, which was a shame because the meat was tender and flavoured beautifully. I now know that rump steak is just not for me!
I definitely recommend the Gaucho grill if you're in the mood for a good quality, hefty steak. I also truly recommend getting some of their empanadas to start with - it's a classic Argentinian delicacy. I would recommend going for mozzerella and tomato.
