Andō

Overview

The restaurant name Andō has multiple meanings: in Spanish, it acts as the present participle – the act of doing, whilst in Japanese, the word alludes to a sense of comfort. This dual meaning reflects the interesting concept behind Andō in which chef-founder, Agustin Balbi fuses his Spanish ancestral roots with Japanese inspiration – Japan being the land that heavily shaped his skills in the kitchen. Defying labels and bending genres, Andō’s modern tasting menu is a translation of Agustin’s unorthodox journey onto the plate.
