Costa Azul

Ecuadorian restaurant · Elephant and Castle

"Like lots of restaurants in Elephant and Castle, you’ll find Costa Azul under a railway bridge. The Ecuadorian spot is out on its own in a secluded arch on Rockingham Street, but once inside you’ll find a low-lit and a DJ Dash (Salsa Sensual, Vol 1)-soundtracked 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. Or, as many families and stern solo diners with a serious appetite do, happily combine with a plate of strip steak, eggs, plantain, and rice. 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 weekend-only specials (including ceviche) are on the menu. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch" - Jake Missing
