Chef John Manion’s family moved to São Paulo, Brazil, when he was eight years old. Those formative years as a Midwest transplant in South America shaped his perspective. In 2024, he opened Brasero, an homage to the wood-fired cuisine he fell in love with as a boy.
Brasero’s tone is set by the big open kitchen where you can watch the action taking place. The dining room features plush booths with beautiful carved wood accents.
Every Wednesday, the knowledgeable wine folks at Brasero choose six bottles from their 100-bottle list to mark at $60 per bottle — a very good deal. For even more bang for your buck, make an early dinner out of the prawns, oysters, noodles, and Manion’s beloved La Sirena kale salad during happy hour from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. every day, including Saturdays and all night on Sundays.
