The latest concept from El Che chef /owner John Manion, Brasero brings bold, wood-fired Latin cooking to West Town’s bustling restaurant row. Brasero is born of Manion’s love for the live-fire cooking of Brazil that first captured his imagination as a kid-old living in Sao Paulo. 

This sultry 120-seater draws inspiration from across Latin America, honed through Manion’s decades of experience. Pulling inspiration from the jet setting heyday of the 1970s paired with true grit Chicago hospitality, Brasero is all at once vibrant and eclectic, personal and laid back—inviting you to tuck away with friends you know (and maybe some you don’t) and get lost in the moment.
