Andes - Latin Love

Andes In DIFC



This is truly a special place and trust me when I say this. They bring out the best Latin american cuisine and you dont need to go far looking for one. Located ideally in the new Central One office building. The Restaurant is a perfect mix of rustic and contemporary, they have indoor seating as well as alfresco. A divide of spaced with trees in the middle of the restaurant is a wise move, that break gives some finesse to the place. You will surely fall in love with this place, simple and elegant.





Started off with their signature Botanical mixes - Prunes and berries was one which was a nice mix strawberry, mango, blueberry with Greek yoghurt, needless to say, it was truly refreshing. Lemon pomegranate was another fine delivery by these guys, loved these, real value for money for AED 28.





Our starters consisted of grilled calamari and shrimp ravioli. You gotta try these two dishes, please. the grilled calamari was a fine combination of flavours and the spice kick was awesome. The chili mayo was dope, really good. The Ravioli was tops too, truly was amazed by the many flavour profiles used by Andes that give amazing feel in each bite, these guys know what they are doing. Portion size on this was excellent.





For the main we got the chicken fillet and the Beef brisket. The chicken used here is top grade corn fed chicken, felt the bird was a bit small, it was gobbled up in no time. On the other hand the brisket was slowly enjoyed, savoring each moment it was in the mouth, emitting the flavours it has been absorbing with the 15 hour slow cook process. Amazing and highly recommended.

We had the machu pichu and chocolate tart for dessert. The machu pichu was a mix of citrus fruits topped with passion sorbet, unfortunately the citrus was over powering, so the passion flavours couldn't  stand out. On the other hand the the chocolate tart was a winner for me. South america chocolate, berries compote and butter ice creme. The tart was smooth and with a bit strong cocoa flavours, you can smell the Andes in these fresh fruits and the whole presentation.





Andes, really took me by surprise, If any one wants Latin cuisine I know where I to send them. A big shout out to Jameliah, such a pleasing personality and an efficient host, took good care of us and made us feel at home and ease. Andes' in truly on top.
