Andina Spitalfields

"The Peruvian dishes at Andina cover a ton of situations, while the restaurant remains a cool space to sit any time of day. The dining room is lovely and quiet for breakfasts with the paper (get the corn cakes), as well as being an excellent place for small dinners, where the volume levels ramp up with your neighbours’ booze consumption. The food’s exciting yet familiar and unexpectedly excellent for everyone from your fitness-obsessed friend to the one who’s swearing off gluten and other delicious things." - David Paw

"Andina in Spitalfields serves slightly stylised takes on Peruvian classics. The excellent ceviche menu features classic combinations like sea bass with leche de tigre and crunchy deep-fried corn kernels, with flourishes like avocado cream. Mains are as hearty as you’d hope: corn tamales, grilled octopus, potatoes, and plenty of sauces. It’s a cool, casual, backpocket kind of restaurant—perfect for cocktails, catch-ups, and casual midweek things. " - jake missing, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley

"Having moved to Spitalfields from Shoreditch, Andina continues to serve slightly stylised takes on Peruvian classics. The excellent ceviche menu features classic combinations like sea bass with leche de tigre and crunchy deep-fried corn kernels, with flourishes like avocado cream or mango gel. It’s a cool, casual restaurant—perfect for cocktails as well as catch-ups—and the menu has just as many hearty options (rump of lamb, chimichurri, sweet potato) if you’re looking for something a little more filling." - jake missing
