Why You’ll Love It
As the only restaurant in Chicago to make the 2024 New York Times list of the best restaurants in America, Asador Bastian is a must-visit. Putting a Spanish twist on the classic steakhouse experience, Asador Bastian embraces every aspect of Basque cooking techniques, even down to the restaurant's name. Asador is a Spanish-style grill used for cooking meat, and Bastian is an homage to the city of San Sebastian, where this style of cooking is the most well-known. Unlike most other steakhouses, this one only offers four different cuts, but with each one being flown in from Spain on the daily, they are the highest quality available and have been described as 'melt in your mouth' delicious by Forbes. To keep with the cultural flavors of their dishes, the wine list features a massive collection of world-class Spanish wines that range from famous brands to rare selections that would impress even the most well-versed sommelier. Asador Bastian sits inside a historic brick townhouse from 1883, and this old-world luxury continues into a dining area that exudes a simple elegance that only vintage spaces like this can pull off effectively. Filled with dark wood, classic accents, and glass chandeliers creating an orange glow, it's the perfect place for quiet conversations over a decadent meal that won't soon be forgotten.
