Enjoyed super delicious food last night. You pay a flat rate per person and dine on various meats, salads, and sides. The meat is extremely flavourful and perfectly cooked. We had mashed potatoes and a caprese salad for the side. I’d love to try more but the meats fill really filled me up - will definitely return. I had two young people with me - 14 and 20 - they loved the food too. The all you can eat price is $68 per person ant dinner and, given the quantity and quality of the food, it’s definitely on par with market rates. Pretty tough to find a good, small steak for under $50 these days - and this experience is so much more. Highly recommend. We will definitely go back.

Gaucho Brazilian Barbecue in Canmore is a real treat. The rodizio-style service offers a fantastic selection of perfectly grilled meats, and the salad bar is fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere is vibrant, and the service is excellent. If you’re in Canmore and craving BBQ, this place is a must-visit!

The meat they bring round was cooked well. Our favourites were the parmigiana steak, beef ribs and sausage. Sides and salads also good and imaginative the slaw was very sweet and well prepared. Disappointing wines by the glass only house red or white. No atmosphere probably because we were shoved in an empty room at the back. I would ask to sit out the front. Service was on point and we liked the people who bought round the meat

Authentic brazilian (and south american) flavour. Cooked and "spiced" in the traditional way (not spicy or hot). Beside the picanha (the queen), the romaine pork, I was offered with a entraña (skirt), great surprise!! The tereré with orange juice and mint, with a real bombilla, is tasty. The servers, mostly latinos, are always kind and open to chat. The only negative thing I can say is that there are no chicken hearts in the lunch time. We love to go.

I had made dinner reservations here for the Saturday night whilst in Canmore and i was not disappointed. The service was friendly and attentive from everyone who looked after us. The food was amazing, every single meat that we tried was melt in the mouth delicious and the portion sizes were very generous. My personal favourites were the mustard glazed lamb and the picanha steak. I would highly recommend here for a meal and will definitely visit again the next time i'm in Canmore.

Amazing experience tasting over a dozen different types of meats, as well as sides with all different flavors. The service was spectacular, all of the servers and gauchos were very helpful and attentive. My only issue was not having an unlimited stomach!

We booked ahead before going there as they are always full and we want to make sure we have a table as it was my birthday celebration. The waiters who are bringing the meat are all nice. You get to taste different kinds of meat until you get full. Though there were instances that the sides and salad was a bit of a wait to be serve compare to the meat. Their bathroom space is a bit small. A different kind of experience. You pay for your meal but you can't take home your left over and they will just throw away your left over which is kinda wasteful. The table is too small for all the meat that is being serve, but everything was good, though I didn't like their sausage. I try to taste all kinds of food they serve. A great meal experience and worth your money.

As a Brazilian living in Canada, I can tell this is the best Brazilian restaurant I’ve been abroad. Excellent quality of the ingredients and dishes served. Outstanding service, all the waiters were very attentive to our preferences. Even though I am a vegetarian, I had an excellent meal with salads and sides. Their grilled pineapple is just perfect! My husband is not a vegetarian and loved the different cuts of meat served.

I really love this restaurant. Although I eat mostly vegetarian these days this is my meat splurge and it's always delicious, cooked well, seasoned perfectly, and the service is always friendly. They have a nice selection of wines. They managed to do service very COVID friendly too. I always eat too much - not their fault - because it's so good.

My favourite restaurant in Canmore is suffering like many others due to COVID, but Gauchos have risen to the occasion with their phenomenal take out service. Ordered the date night package online for $60 and it was great value, the same high quality you get with their all you can eat in a box! It came with a shared dessert (the flan which is delicious) and a couple of bottles of beer. Got a time to collect and it was ready when I arrived, they even text you to say your food is ready to pick up!

Dianne, our waitress, did a fantastic job. She took so good care of us, helped us even out with suggestions for our next day‘s trip. The meat was delicious and the desert fantastic - for sure we give the Gaucho‘s and especially the staff two thumbs up;)

Requested a nice table for our reservation as it is mine and my boyfriends anniversary and we were given a table for 6 people for the two of us in the corner of the restaurant, I could see nicer tables that were empty by the window at the front of the restaurant which would have been more appropriate for a couple. Food was delicious and the meat was fresh and hot, the chefs that brought the meat out were lovely. Only issue was that the meat that was being brought around the restaurant was coming out so quickly - one after the other - is that we kept saying yes to everything and by the time we felt full we still had some food left over on our plate. We asked for the bill and the Rodízio and 2 drinks came to $134 so it’s not cheap. My boyfriend politely asked if we could take home what we had on our plate as we couldn’t physically eat anymore and the server, Petr, told us no..when we queried why he advised because it’s all you can eat and somewhat accused us of filling our plate up as much as possible so we could take it home with us which was absolutely not the case. He could have stopped there and left it at that but continued to tell us that we wouldn’t find any restaurant that would allow us to take it home and that most places would charge us for waste. Would have been a returning customer up until that rude interaction and Petr missed out on a 20% tip solely because of that. Also we didn’t receive any different treatment even though I had noted on the booking that it was our anniversary..the server barely checked up on us and we also didn’t get a goodbye or thanks when we were leaving..we left feeling very disappointed.

Dear Valued Customer, thank you for your visit and review of our restaurant. We are so sorry that you did not enjoy your experience fully. Due to COVID we have had to change our service method of our buffet and as a result we bring all your food to you. We understand that this might be confusing to some customers. We are still an all-you-can-to -eat restaurant and do not allow take home parcels of the sides or bbq as written on our menu and on our website. Petr’s intention was certainly not to make you feel bad about your request and we apologize for making you feel uncomfortable. We take your feedback seriously and will use it to improve our business during these extremely difficult times for restaurants and it’s employees. Best regards.

Simply the best food that is never ending! A buffet style with a difference - the meat just keeps coming until you tell them to stop! The sides were delicious too. Cocktails strong and amazing. Superb, friendly and efficient service. Make sure you are starving pre visit and enjoy! Would happily return and recommend.

Would 100% recommend. Even if you aren’t a huge meat eater, I personally ate enough of the sides, cheese buns and pineapple to make it worth it. For me the meat was just a bonus (but also tasted soooo good). It’s cheaper to go for lunch which they have on weekends but I would have no problem paying the usual dinner rate for what you get.

Stopped by for my Mom’s birthday and we were blown away by the absolutely amazing service. The food was so full of flavour and presented in such a beautiful way. The Staff was extremely friendly and informative and accommodated our dog as if he was their own. 10/10 will definitely be back in the future.
