With its swanky service, live jazz and glittering candlelight, El Gaucho Seattle will transport guests to a past-era where hospitality and romance reign.

The 1st Ave. original, with its limited hours and drink selection, has been providing fuel for nine-to-fivers in the form of delicious slow-roasted and smoked meats for more than 30 years. And now that Peco’s has opened a West Seattle location, barbecue is available morning, noon, and night from this fork-and-knife-style favorite.
