Andina confirms Spitalfields opening

Peruvian restaurant Andina has confirmed it will relaunch in its new London home in Spitalfields home on Wednesday 19 May.

Bookings are now open for lunch and dinner, seven days a week, with an ‘all-in’ weekend brunch menu and tables reserved for walk-ins.

The new flagship space is located just behind Spitalfields Market, and is much larger than its previous Shoreditch home, which was forced to close due to the pandemic.

The new site offers 80-covers in the main restaurant and pisco bar space, and a further 30 seats downstairs in Bar Mistura - a late night cocktail bar and taqueria, set to launch in June 

“It’s obviously no secret this last year has been an absolute shocker for the whole of the hospitality sector," says Andina’s managing director, Raquel de Oliveira.

"Having to leave our original home in Shoreditch after seven years was really heartbreaking. But finding our new home on Commercial Street in Spitalfields feels like a fresh start for the team and the Andina brand as a whole. 

"And with the bigger kitchen space we will be able to expand our menu, as well as launching a brand new Latin American cocktail bar and taqueria concept in the downstairs space called Bar Mistura, which we are super excited about.

"Mistura means ‘mixture’ in Spanish, which seemed like a fitting name given that the Peruvian and wider Latina American culture encompasses a brilliant mixture of different countries, cuisines and wonderful people. Just like us.

"We want the new space to feel inclusive for everybody, and after this last terrible year we hope our customers will want to come and celebrate this new beginning with us at Andina Spitalfields when we open next month.”
