Gaucho specialises in steaks as well as specially-created fusion dishes including such as haggis empanadas, made using locally-sourced Scottish produce.

There will be a selection of more than 200 exclusive Argentinian wines alongside a wide range of spirits and cocktails.

Jamie said: “I’m enjoying the opportunity to create exclusive dishes for our new Edinburgh restaurant that celebrate and fuse the provenance of Argentinian beef with Scotland’s enviable natural larder.

“Scots know good beef so I’m looking forward to bringing Gaucho’s world-famous menu to Edinburgh.”
