In 2014, Andanada was awarded a Michelin Star in the 2015 Michelin Guide to New York City.[6][7] It maintained its star rating for the 2016[8] and 2017[9] editions of the guide.
History
Andanada was established in 2012 as Andanada 141 by a restaurant group consisting of Spanish investors.[4] One of the investors, Álvaro Reinoso, said the idea to open a Spanish restaurant came to him when he realized that there was a potential market for authentic, yet contemporary Spanish cuisine in New York City.[10] Reinoso formed a partnership with a group of people that owned Gastroarte, taking over the place after Gastroarte's chef left.[10][1][11] He then contacted chef Manuel Berganza, who had previously received Michelin stars for his duties at Sergi Arola and La Broche, both in Madrid.[4][1]
In February 2017, Berganza announced on his Instagram account that he was leaving Andanada. Later that year, it was reported that the restaurant quietly closed.[12][13]
