The story

Asado Brussels: Wood-Fired Argentine Grill on Chaussée de Waterloo

Rooted in South American tradition

Asado Brussels introduces Argentine cuisine to the Chaussée de Waterloo by adapting the Sunday barbecue rituals of South America. The kitchen centers its entire approach on wood-fired cooking, a method that imparts a distinct smoky character to every plate. This dedication to authentic preparation earned the restaurant a 12.5 out of 20 score from Gault&Millau. Guests are encouraged to build their own menu from a palette of shared dishes rather than ordering individual portions.

Shared plates and smoky flavors

The menu opens with empanadas featuring a chili con carne filling, baked until the pastry turns a rich golden brown. Hearty cuts like picanha follow, cooked slowly over open flames to preserve their natural juices. Every ingredient arrives at the pass rigorously selected to complement the natural smoke from the kitchen hearth. Vegetarian alternatives are woven into this wood-fired cuisine, ensuring plant-based guests experience the exact same communal format.

Diners leave with the understanding that the true focus remains on the rhythm of grilled dishes passed around the table.
