Casita Andina | Soho Restaurant Fun fact: in its native Peruvian Spanish, Casita Andina literally means “Google Translate Error”.
After all, he was at the tip of the Peruvian food spear as it became the hottest thing in the London food scene since the invention of the oven, opening both Ceviche and the critically lauded Andina.
Apart from the open-air patio and the small takeaway area, here’s what you can expect to find inside: THE CEVICHE COUNTER Considering the man owns two restaurants literally called Ceviche and a record label named Tiger’s Milk (after a Peruvian ceviche marinade), you would expect this to be good.
But you’ll also find cocktails like the Negroni-esque Gallo Negro with cherry pisco aged gin; and the punch-style Peru Bravo with pomegranate liqueur, ginger ale, and pineapple chilli pisco.

Yet another paean to Andean cuisine and culture, extending beyond the mere culinary, Casita Andina takes over Soho’s legendary Little Cottage on Great Windmill Street to bring more of Martin Morales’ patented take on Peruvian food.
‘Casita’ means little house and ‘Andina’ is a woman or a dish from the Andes.
Casita Andina is committed to sourcing at least 90% of its produce from local, sustainable suppliers, the other 10% of essential Peruvian ingredients being fully fair trade in origin.
The restaurant also gives back more than just superb South American food culture to London diners, working with Peruvian children's’ charities.
Brunch, lunch, dinner or drinks at this Soho haunt are colourful, flavoursome, exciting and truly novel – with Casita Andina on the restaurant map, jaded palates are yet again set to be revivified, in inimitable Andean-style.
Casita Andina: Ceviche founder Martin Morales to launch Peruvian ...
food location ambience
ES Food Newsletter Martin Morales pioneered Peruvian food in London when he launched Ceviche on Frith Street back in 2012, introducing many to its signature dish of fish ‘cooked’ in citrus.
He’s now set to bring Soho another dose of the country’s cuisine as he prepares to launch what he says will be “London’s most traditional Peruvian restaurant yet” — and every single dish will be gluten free.
“It will be London’s first picanteria,” says Morales, referring to the rustic restaurants found across Peru which serve home-style comfort food.
Everything will be gluten free in part because traditional Peruvian dishes simply don’t tend to use wheat, but also because Morales believes that light, gluten free food leads to a better overall eating experience: “I believe in all-round great eating — you should eat food that tastes great, but also that makes you feel great”.
16/17 LONDON'S BEST STREET FOOD 17/17 LONDON'S BEST NEIGHBOURHOOD RESTAURANTS Casita Andina will feature a ceviche counter and a bar specialising in pisco, Peru’s national spirit, as well as an open-air patio on the first floor.

All I know of Peru I have learned via the London restaurant scene.
All London’s Peruvian-influenced restaurants — Coya, Lima, Sushisamba — are ferociously upbeat, joyous in décor, assertive in cocktail list, buoyant in up-tempo Muzak, and chipper of staff.
I can only conclude there are no depressed citizens in Peru, except, of course, Paddington Bear, which is why Paddington took illegal alien status in Blighty, and why he loved marmalade sandwiches, so sick to the back teeth was he of quinoa, purple potatoes, choclo and ceviche.
I was keen for the main courses to arrive — the only people who feel satisfied by a plate of ceviche are the emaciated berks floating around London Fashion Week eating a sachet of Ella’s Kitchen baby food for dinner.
Service in Andina, I must add, was rather nifty and ever jolly, which distracted me from the fact that upstairs the tables are somewhat cramped and I had one elbow in an IBM business meeting during my ceviche course.

food ambience
A homely Soho townhouse from the people behind Ceviche and Andina.
And Casita Andina is just that: a little house.
As for the menu, you can’t mistake its parents: it’s a little bit Ceviche (cold cured fish) and a little bit Andina (wholesome superfoods).
I have a particular soft spot for the signature ‘ceviche casita’: a pretty tumble of glistening seabass with avocado, red onion, sweet potato and the crunch of toasted corn, all offset by its zingy ‘tiger’s milk’ marinade, this is a summer holiday of a dish that you could eat whatever the weather.
On the night of my visit, the kitchen’s use of powdered panca chilli (with its low-heat but high-intensity ‘roasted chilli’ flavour) was heavy-handed, overwhelming the otherwise delicate flavours in a vegan dish of crunchy cauliflower, sweet potato and broad beans, or a bowl of battered avocado chunks.
