Andina Spitalfields

Andina was originally founded by Martin Morales, a former music-industry behemoth who turned to cooking to showcase the then-lesser-known flavours of his native Peru. The group, which also owns Ceviche, is now run by the people who operate the ultra-successful Rosa’s Thai Cafe.

Food at Andina celebrates the Andean food culture, with many ingredients painstakingly sourced directly from the Latin American nation. Vibrant ceviches and zingy salads enliven the palate, while stopping by between 4pm and 6pm from Monday-Thursday will allow you to take advantage of Pisco Hour, where pisco sours are available for £5.

The colourful interior of Andina gets across its personality – fun, lively and not to be taken too seriously. Small wooden tables take up most of the dining room, with some seating by its front-facing windows, while an open kitchen keeps things interesting.
