Shelley Sandzer has let the 3,000 sq ft restaurant space at 60-62 Commercial Street for Peruvian Andina.
Andina is part of the Ceviche restaurant group, and is a modern ‘picanteria’ – an all-day dining concept focused on providing healthy food and drink inspired by the Peruvian Andes.
Set to launch in summer 2021, the restaurant will have 80 covers on the ground floor.
The basement will house a South American bar, serving snacks alongside cocktails such as margaritas, caipirinhas, and daquiris, and the Peruvian national drink, pisco sour.
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, added: “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.”
