Named by Robb Report as one of the Top 10 Best New Restaurants in the country, Brasero combines South American passion with midwestern grit and brings Chef John Manion's talent for wood-fired Latin cooking to West Town’s bustling restaurant row. This sultry 120-seater draws inspiration from across Latin America, honed through Manion’s decades of experience. Think flame- roasted, whole young chickens slicked with garlic-chili oil, steaks cooked over an open fire alongside chimichurri, and moqueca teeming with mussels, shrimp & Mahi Mahi with coconut-scented rice—all washed down with quenching caipirinhas, locally brewed, Latin-inspired beer and 100 bottles of wine under 100 dollars.

For parties of 6-10, enjoy our Family Style Hearth Experience!

Wow! It's been a while since we've tried someplace new. Brasero did not disappoint. My partner was declaring we were coming before we even finished our meal. The food was excellent and my drink was perfect. The ambiance is beautiful and the staff is attentive and friendly. I highly recommend.

Sandy, We're elated to hear your adventure to check out someplace new led you to Brasero, and even happier to hear your experience met your expectations. The bar is the perfect place to snuggle in for a date night, Maxx, Abe, and Del are here every Saturday to sling more perfect cocktails and service. We hope you come to visit them (and us!) again soon. Warmly, Anna Broughton General Manager

Absolutely loved our dinner here! Kat was a phenomenal waitress and had the best recommendations! I will say the sides and shareables were more memorable and a better value than the entrees. Would definitely return!
