Andanada, Spanish Michelin Star restaurant
Andanada was a restaurant on Manhattan's Upper West Side serving Spanish food with a modern touch. The space featured clean design and a warm feeling, offering tapas and dishes like shellfish paella and rice pudding desserts made with fresh ingredients.
The restaurant opened in 2012 when Spanish investors sought to bring their country's cooking to New York. It earned a Michelin star in 2014 and maintained it for several years before closing in 2017 after its chef departed.
The name came from a section of a bullfighting arena, reflecting Spanish traditions and heritage. Diners experienced authentic Spanish cooking in a welcoming setting that brought together modern techniques with classical recipes.
Located on the Upper West Side between Broadway and Columbus Avenue, the space provided a comfortable setting for dining. Guests could sample many small plates designed for sharing, allowing them to taste numerous flavors during a single meal.
The restaurant's name drew from bullfighting tradition, showing how Spanish culture was woven into every detail. Chef Manuel Berganza left in 2017 to open a new restaurant in Singapore, marking a turning point in its story.
