Our review

Paparazzi is a steakhouse on Cornwalls Lane, tucked into the alleys off Main Street. It holds 4.7 on Tripadvisor from 1,259 reviews and 4.6 on Google from 782, which sets the Index at 4.70 and makes it one of the most reviewed and best-rated restaurants in Gibraltar. The reviews were re-read on 6 September 2026 and the newest was written that day, so the picture is as current as it gets.

The steak is the point and reviewers treat it as an event. Several describe meat brought to the table on a hot stone so each piece can be finished to taste, and a selection of knives offered before the meal. The Tomahawk, T-bone, sirloin, fillet, Argentinian steak and lamb chops are all named; one visitor to 64 countries calls it the best steak and service they have had. The sides get their own praise, garlic fries, sautéed mushrooms and baby potatoes especially, and the pasta and lasagne are rated by those not eating meat.

Service is named to a degree that is rare. Alexandros appears in review after review from late August 2026, with David, Angel, Marino, Rafael and Zuleimz alongside, and a Greek waiter thanked without a name. The room is small, calm and quiet enough to talk, with a terrace as well, and reviewers recommend booking, especially for groups. One diner notes they take care over coeliac requirements.

There is very little against it. One August 2026 reviewer warns that not everything on the menu is always in stock, so anything specific is best pre-ordered. Another, on a return visit, found the grilled tuna closer to boiled than grilled and advises sticking to the meat. That is the sum of the criticism in 33 reviews, nearly all of them five stars.

Come for serious steak cooked to your own liking at the table, in a calm room with a floor that reviewers thank by name; book, and pre-order if you have your heart set on a particular cut. Nobody from Gibraltar Index has eaten here, and this write-up is drawn from the reviews.

Written from the Tripadvisor reviews and both platforms' scores on 6 September 2026, not from a meal we ate — nobody from Gibraltar Index has eaten here. We show the Google rating but have not yet read Google's reviews for the write-up. The recurring themes it draws on are below.

Stock runs out on some cuts, so pre-order anything specific; the tuna drew the one mild complaint.

What it gets right

Steak that reviewers rank among the best they have eaten
Service named constantly, Alexandros above all
A quiet, cosy room with two large sources agreeing

What it gets wrong

Not every cut is always in stock, so pre-order
Book, especially for groups
Fish is second to the meat by one account

How it compares

It holds 4.7 out of 5 on Tripadvisor from 1,259 reviews — well above the Gibraltar median of 4.1 across 106 restaurants with enough reviews to rank, and on a very large body of reviews.

Among comparable places, it is the best-rated Steakhouse option we track in Gibraltar.

It is priced in the middle of Gibraltar's range.

How the Gibraltar Index Score is built

It is not an average of the two. Each source is weighted by how many reviews it carries, then pulled toward the Gibraltar average so a high score from a handful of reviews cannot outrank a strong score from thousands. Paparazzi Steakhouse scores 4.7 from 1,259 on Tripadvisor and 4.6 from 782 on Google, which the model blends to 4.7.

We read the 33 most recent Tripadvisor reviews and summarised what recurs, in our own words; the reviews we drew on are quoted below, attributed to their authors. The Tripadvisor and Google scores are each shown 1:1 as those platforms publish them; the Index Score is ours and the formula is above. Nobody from Gibraltar Index has eaten here, so nothing is a first-hand verdict.
