About

Brasero is a South American-inspired American restaurant located at 1709 W Chicago Ave in Chicago's West Town neighborhood. Conceived by renowned chef John Manion, the same mind behind El Che, the menu spans shareable bites, hearty steaks, fresh seafood, and hand-muddled cocktails, all grounded in tradition yet genuinely inventive. The wine list features 100 South American bottles under $100, a standout detail for wine lovers. Named one of the Best New Restaurants in the Country by Robb Report and nominated for Best New Restaurant at the 2025 Banchet Awards, Brasero suits everything from date nights to group celebrations, with a prix fixe option available for larger parties.
