El Che puts fire at the center of its kitchen, cooking beef over open-flame asado. The restaurant works with an unusually broad range of purveyors, choosing each cut with intention before it reaches the flame.
The wine list draws heavily from South America — old-vine and high-altitude bottles meant to match the drama of the cooking. Diners who want to watch the process up close can sit at the Chef's Counter, right in front of the fire.
In the West Loop, El Che has become known as a celebration destination — a warm, intimate room where steak quality and attentive service keep regulars coming back for special occasions.
