At Gaucho’s Brazilian Steakhouse, guests are treated to a (35) item gourmet salad bar that includes a wide variety: mixed greens, assorted veggies, (green, red, & yellow peppers), red onion, hearts of palm, artichoke hearts, green/black olives, bowtie pasta, seafood salad, chicken salad, potato salad, egg salad, egg salad, smoked salmon, crab meat, fresh fruit medley, fresh sliced watermelon, pineapple, assorted cheeses, sliced salami, asparagus, and much more. In addition your meal also includes garlic mashed potatoes, South American cheese bread, and guests are treated to warm carmelized bananas as a palette cleanser between meats. In the Brazilian custom, guests are provided the famous two-sided coaster to signify their preferences. If the coaster is on green it means go, on red it means no.

With traditional flair, the gauchos slice portions from skewers of our “Feast of Meats.” For that extra special dining experience, Gaucho’s also offers a nightly “Seafood Feast” that includes Crab Legs, Fried Shrimp, Sauteed Shrimp, Perch, Tilapia, and the Catch of the Day! As is customary, guests can have as little or as much as they want.

While we keep it authentic and traditional here at Gaucho’s, we understand the desires of our many guests. As such, we offer most all of our food a la carte, for our customers with varied eating preferences – a benefit not found at other Brazilian Steakhouses.

There’s no need to drive to Chicago to find a restaurant with authentic “other country” flair. We’re located on historic Lincoln Highway in beautiful Valparaiso, Indiana, just minutes from I65, I80, and many major state roads.

Gaucho’s is open Monday through Friday at 11am for lunch, Saturday at 1pm, and Sunday at noon.
