Gauchos are the cowboys of South America – a national symbol of pride and tradition. The residents of Rio Grande do Sul, a Brazilian state, are affectionately referred to as “Gauchos”. This state, renowned for its unique churrasco barbecue, is the birthplace of Chef Edmilson Rodrigues. It is there, in Brazil’s top barbecue houses, that Ede learned and perfected his craft.
Feel transported as ancient Brazilian traditions come alive in our churrascaria –our house of barbecue– and special place that bursts with authentic South American atmosphere and charm.
Enjoy the rich sights and sounds that echo our unique history and dedication to superior taste, while traditionally dressed servers offer an incredible all-you-care-to-enjoy rodizio -round about- selection of perfectly roasted meats. Included in your rodizio experience is an extensive selection of hot dishes and salads that compliment our bbq.
Celebrate any occasion in these perfect settings, located on Macleod Trail in Calgary, AB.

    It was a great time and good food. Very loud music playing overhead. I could barely hear my server over the loud music and had she repeat herself more Han a couple times. Parking is easy. Staff is great. The beef quality was not great but the ribs meat, jerked chicken and roasted pork was simply fabulous. Would do that over and over again. And the cocktails are amazing.

    We've been going to Gaucho for years. Excited to go again at the new location as it is much bigger and brighter, we were celebrating a bday. Last night the waiter was a bit off, she seemed sad and mad from the beginning. We didn't do anything to upset her. There was no greeting, or small talk like waiters do to make you enjoy the atmosphere and the meal, she seemed bothered, only at the end when we paid she lightened up. The food is excellent as usual. I was surprised when I called and asked if we could bring a bday cake and they said they charge a $2.5 per person cake fee.... because they will light the candle and bring it to you and cut the cake... like what? I ended up cutting the cake myself (they brought a stake knife because kitchen didn't have any other ), they offered to cut it but I wanted to offer it to 2 other adjacent tables that sang "happy Bday" with us so I did it myself :)

    My favourite thing was the potato salad. The chicken stroganoff was amazing and variety of meat made the experience really worth it. I found the space to be a bit noisy but overall, lovely experience. Will definitely be back!

    Great spot! The food was unreal and the service was exceptional. The only slight I would take away from our experience was that our server was a little quirky and very disorganized. She seemed extremely slow at things and forgettable. Other than that, it was an exceptional experience! Would absolutely do that again.
