Peruvian restaurant sets the table for post-pandemic London launch

A Peruvian restaurant has announced that it is launching a new flagship site in London once pandemic restrictions lift.

Andina, which is part of the Ceviche restaurant group, serves Peruvian food and is set to open its new venue in Spitalfields this summer.

The new Commercial Street restaurant, which is 3,000 sq ft, comes following the closure of the brand’s Redchurch Street site last year.

The site covers two floors and will be able to accommodate more than 80 customers.

Raquel de Oliveira, managing director at Andina, commented: “Having to leave our home at Redchurch Street last year was incredibly difficult for us, but we are delighted to be able to start a new chapter for Andina on Commercial Street.

“Given the fantastic local following we have developed over the past 7 years we wanted to stay close to our original site, and we are grateful that Shelley Sandzer has found this unit for us just a stone’s throw away, on one of London’s most buzzing streets.”

Etai Page, leasing agent at Shelley Sandzer, which facilitated the move, said: “The impact of the pandemic on hospitality has been immense, so to be able to bring Andina back into the market is testament to their strength as a brand.

“There is a confidence that hospitality and leisure will recover in the coming months, and it will be vital to have much-loved operators such as Andina up and running when this happens, as people safely release their pent-up demand to be back in restaurants.”
