Andria

Named after the Puglian town of chef-owner Luca Berardino’s ancestors, Andria is where the talented chef turns his memories and food experiences into unconventional tasting menus and a daily line-up of carefully crafted small plates.

The restaurant has garnered much attention since opening in 2020, testament to Luca and team’s determination to push boundaries and offer a distinctive dining experience.

Sample the likes of burnt courgette with whipped tahini, caramelised garlic, chilli and mint followed by local goat’s curd (made to order for the restaurant) with beetroot marmalade, oats and blossom honey.

Above the restaurant, a chef’s table experience offers diners something a little different. Here, eight guests spend the evening in Luca’s company being wined, dined and entertained while feasting on a tasting menu cooked and served from an open kitchen. The immersive supper is all about connection, so book a seat (not a table) to enjoy a menu flush with foraged finds from the coast and countryside in the company of other discerning diners.

For a more casual visit, the lunchtime set menu is excellent value, and the Sunday roast with all the trimmings is ultra popular.

Trencherman’s tip

The fabulous food is complemented by a lively playlist, relaxed atmosphere and great wines – including a good selection by the glass.
