Andanada was a Spanish dining establishment situated at 141 West 69th Street in Manhattan's Upper West Side, New York City. Established in 2012 by chef Manuel Berganza, the restaurant was awarded one Michelin star starting in 2014 and retained this honor until it ceased operations in 2017.
Focusing on modern Spanish fare, Andanada's offerings included a variety of tapas as well as standout dishes such as shellfish paella and arroz con leche. The restaurant's name is derived from the term for the uppermost seating section found in a Spanish bullfighting ring.
The Michelin star was first granted to Andanada in the 2015 edition of the Michelin Guide to New York City and was upheld through the 2016 and 2017 guides.
History
In 2012, Andanada was launched under the name Andanada 141 by a consortium of Spanish investors. Álvaro Reinoso recognized a niche for genuine, contemporary Spanish cuisine within New York City's culinary scene. Collaborating with the proprietors of Gastroarte, he took over their venue following the departure of their chef. Subsequently, Reinoso brought on board chef Manuel Berganza, who had previously earned Michelin stars at Sergi Arola and La Broche restaurants in Madrid.
Chef Berganza announced his exit from Andanada via Instagram in February 2017, and later that year, the restaurant closed without much public notice.
