About
Andanza opened in Bermondsey in late 2020, transformed from an old bookmakers shop during the national COVID-19 lockdown. The name Andanza, meaning fortune, fate or journey, is reflective of both the gamble of opening a restaurant during such uncertain times and the spirit of the Spanish dining culture that inspired it. The aim was the capture the flow and energy of the pintxo bars of San Sebastián and the convivial atmosphere of the tabanacos of Jerez and bring this to London. Food and drink are the central focus; seasonal tapas and pintxo dishes rooted in Basque, Galician and Andalucian influence paired with a drinks list made up of sherry, vermouths and wines - all Spanish in origin. The design of the restaurant deepens the cultural connection: a hand carved oak bar, green tiles, stool seating, and ecclesiastical doors evoke heritage while playful additions, a matador pig print and a television playing Spanish games shows from the 1980s add touches of humour and nostalgia. Our restaurant is offering high quality, authentic Spanish cuisine and this is what our team have dedicated themselves to ensuring. From careful design of food menus utilising many ingredients which are Spanish PDIs/PDOs to our drinks list which offers exclusively Spanish wines, authenticity has been at the heart of Andanza from the beginning. Now approaching our 5th birthday, our success is a testament to our staff and the quality of the experience we offer from start to finish. We believe that we have captured the passion and the vigour of the Spanish restaurants that inspired us. Thriving on a quiet back street in today’s challenging climate, our name Andanza, reflects our resilience: the gamble, the fortune and the journey.

★★★★★via Google“Great food and good portion sizes. On the surface it seems pricey but for London its quite reasonable. We probably ordered a bit too much food because we didn't realise the portions would be pretty decently sized!”
★★★★★via Google“Excellent food and lovely service, unique dishes that were delicious!”
★★★★★via Google“My second visit.Having previously eaten here on a girls night, and raving about it, I had to return with my husband. Neither of us were disappointed.Some lovely dishes (Galician octopus, patatas bravas to name just two), plus orders for more, topped off with a nice bottle of rose.Ambience is great and the service fantastic. I think literally the only change I would make would be to offer jugs/carafes of sangria, rather than just serving by the glass. But that is my only niggle.I will definitely be back in the very near future. Thank you for a great meal 😊”
★★★★★via Google“Highly recommended for the food here. My preferences are Iberico and Octopus. Must try if you are first time here. Fairly friendly, polite and good customer service. Keep up the good work, everyone. Cheers.”
★★★★★via Google“We have ordered octopus, steak on toast, black rice mixed seafood and cheesecake to share. All of their food displayed and tasted in high standard. The octopus was the most outstanding and perfectly cooked! We haven’t had such a juicy and tender octopus for a long time. Staffs are all very friendly and provide quick and good services. The only thing is that we did walk for a long while to find this unique place but it’s worth it after all!”
★★★★★via Google“I have to say I’ve walked by this place a hundred times and never stopped. The tapas as are unique(traditional with a twist) and tasty. The location and space are great. I think it’s better than any other tapas place I’ve been in London. Wine list is extensive Spanish.”
★★★★★via Google“Very cute lil tapas bar tucked behind a corner near London Bridge. We walked in and were able to get a table on Friday night, but it seems like most people there had made reservations so we must have been lucky. Food was very good, and the service was excellent as well. Not the cheapest, but a good experience. Would definitely return!”
★★★★★via Google“Nice Spanish tapas. The food is on the saltier side but matches the drinks perfectly. The atmosphere is light and energetic during the launch time.”
