Costa Azul

Ecuadorian restaurant · Elephant and Castle

"Like lots of restaurants in Elephant and Castle, you’ll find Costa Azul under a railway bridge. Once inside the Ecuadorian spot, you’ll find a low-lit and a DJ Dash-soundtracked (Salsa Sensual, Vol 1) room full of steaming hot bowls of parihuela. Said seafood stew is a generous thing—rings of squid, prawns, moist and flaky tilapia—all in a salty, nourishing broth. At just over £20, it’s a hearty portion for one. The lunchtime crowd is a happy mix of South American locals, delivery drivers in need of recharging, and gluttonous singletons but it’s worth coming by on the weekend too when Costa Azul’s specials (including ceviche) are on the menu." - jake missing, sinead cranna
