No one likes a steak more than I do, so when I heard about this place cooking the steaks over charcoal right before your eyes, I couldn't wait to give it a go.. Eight of us went for my birthday & eight steaks were cooked to perfection & delivered to our table in a very timely manner. The flavour of... More

Although the service wasn't the best we've had ( they were very friendly) the food was spot on & couldn't fault! Was quite Spanish like a tapas bar, nice relaxed atmosphere, but a little chaotic at time. There were 6 of us & each ordered a sharing board, meat, cheese & vegetarian, all 3 were perfect. Everyone's steak was excellent... More

Went for a family (adult) meal this evening based upon recomendations from Trip Advisor... Whilst it was fine and the steaks were decent enough and a reasonable price, the sides were tiny and expensive for what they were... It was OK, and although I wouldn't go again, what we had was fine...

My daughter loves steak so I took her here for her birthday. She pronounced it 'best steak ever'. They do early bird offers for kids too. You need to book to be sure of a table. If meat is your thing this shouldn't be missed.

I visited this restaurant with my husband last Saturday. Friendly atmosphere, decent food. the waiter was very attentive and chatty, I really liked that! Our steaks were perfectly cooked as per our request. Good value for the money. I suggest to book in advance as the place is quite small and it can be difficult to find a table last... More

Went again with my girlfriend on Friday 26th April at 7pm. We had a cheese sharing board for starters which was a change as we usually have the ceviche, and it was very tasty and plenty for 2. Mains my girlfriend had her usual 8oz sirloin and i had my usual 24oz pan handle :-) I have quite an appetite... More

I found this place online, trawling for Argentinian steakhouses. (It's offcially South American) When I phoned to book, they couldn't have been more friendly. As it was intended to be a special meal for my wife's birthday, on arrival, we were initially concerned. It seemed to be in a suburb, (univerity area?) rather than city centre, and didn't look anything... More

So it took a little while for this place to find its feet. It was good, but there were little niggles - mistakes on the bill or with the order, over-salted chips, wine late - all quickly sorted. But the steaks were always good - that's why we went back. But recently it really seems to have found its feet.... More

We have now been to La Vaca a number of times and have found the food and service EXCELLENT every time. The steak is cooked perfectly and tastes amazing. Everything is cooked fresh on the open grill in the restaurant but we only waited around 15 minutes to be served our meal. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and... More

We were recommended this restaurant by friends and booked it as our birthday treat. As soon as we arrived we were greeted like old friends by the cheerful staff and quickly settled into our seats with a bottle of Malbec. The restaurant was busy yet not chaotic and had a good vibe to it. I chose the sirloin and my... More
