Asador Bastian

Asador Bastian is a Chicago chophouse with Basque influences, set in the iconic "Flair House," an 1883 River North townhouse. At its heart is live fire — asador-style cooking over open flame, built around the world's best boutique beef and a Barcelona-inspired seafood program.

It's one of the World's 101 Best Steak Restaurants (No. 1 in North America, 2025), named to the New York Times' 25 Best and Esquire's Best New Restaurant in America.

Asador is the most exacting kitchen and floor in the Eat Well Hospitality group, and the team reflects it. Our servers speak to beef the way a sommelier speaks to wine — breed, region, how long it's been aged — and the all-Spanish wine program runs just as deep. We hire people who want to be the best at what they do, and we give them the knowledge and support to get there. If you take real pride in your craft, Asador is where it belongs.
