9.5/10Service was prompt and professional. I particularly liked that the waitress asked us if we’d like our mains prepared after entree or if we’d like a break. The food was delicious and the servings were generous. Well worth a return visit.

10/10Lovely restaurant, perfect for a special romantic occasion. Had the lamb which had a beautiful smoky flavour and the labneh matched perfectly too. The cheese chorizo croquettes were delicious. They had a huge drinks menu. At 5pm I was the only one so meal was served in 5 minutes. Great service. Quite small serves so I could easily eat a few entrees and a main.

9.5/10Great service, nice atmosphere and comfortable seating. Had the gnocchi which was splendid, the waitress couldn’t have been nicer and friendlier and contributed to a good night. Highly recommend.

10/10When I arrived they couldn’t find my booking through The Fork but assured me that they would sort something (and they did) even though the restaurant was clearly full. I would highly recommend Vaquero but I would suggest to book through the restaurant.

9/10Shane and the crew always offer exceptional service!. Great to see the restaurant with such a positive vibe (with Covid safe measures) . We opted for the banquet and it was perfect for Midweek date night. This is our favourite restaurant and it never disappoints!

8.5/10Lovely food and stunning space. Training new staff on a Saturday evening was weird. Had a lot of service staff but water glasses and decantered wine needed prompting to be refilled.

10/10A great find! Five star service and the food is superb. Amazing selection of meat dishes as the dry age and cure their own meats. Not for vegans/ vegetarians... A carnivores paradise

8/10Food was tasty and interesting. Meat tacos were yum but small. Spicy potato was delish. I found the main meal selections a little basic so we had several entree/tapas plates. Great atmosphere and decor. Nice chilled evening. Would recommend.

9/10The food was good but portions were quite small for the price that we paid. Service was excellent and the restaurant had a lovely ambience. Would I go back? Not really as I prefer a more hearty meal.

‘From farm to plate'
‘Vaquero' in Spanish translates to the horseback mounted cattle herder. In the 1500s, the Spanish brought the vaquero to Mexico. This influenced the cuisine, which brought the importance of livestock to their dishes. In Albion is Vaquero Dining, a place for relaxation and good food. The menu is made to be shared between friends and family. They pride themselves on the ‘farm to plate' ethic, where the best ingredients are sourced. And they are only sourced through farmers that utilise sustainable, organic and socially conscious methods. Vaquero Dining exudes sophistication and elegance in every dish.
Best dish: Beef Of The Day, Wagyu Ham, Salt Baked Celeriac, Black Garlic Porcini Salt (GF).
