Ever since Ceviche opened, my love for Peruvian food has grown. The Michelin-guide listed Andina is another of Martin Morales offerings, and with a yummy looking menu (a lot of which is gluten free…), I was definitely excited by a lunch invite there. First up- cocktails. The menu boasted a whole range of Pisco Sours like you’ve never seen them before… I opted for the El Chalaco- Vanilla and limo chilli-infused Barsol pisco with ginger ale.
Ceviche Andina: Sea Bass, Goldenberry, Avocado, Sweet Potato
- It wouldn’t have been a Peruvian meal without ceviche- raw fish, in thin slices or chunks, usually marinated in citrus juices. The ceviche didn’t let us down- fresh and a little spicy.
- Ceviche Clásico: Sea Bass, Lime Tiger’s Milk, Coriander, Limo Chilli, Sweet Potato, Choclo Corn
It wasn’t just the ceviche to enjoy. The grilled and street food plates included marinated duck breast (below), crispy pork belly (with coriander and choclo corn purée and peanut amarillo chilli sauce) and a quinoa burger.
Pato Sampa (gf): marinated duck breast, sweet potato purée, black quinoa sauce
Corn Cake & Avocado
Andina was one of those perfect lunch destinations- filled with tasty food made from fresh healthy ingredients, meaning that even after a few Pisco Sours, we didn’t leave feeling guilty.
