Andō

Andō, Japanese-Spanish fusion cuisine in Hong Kong

Andō is a fine dining restaurant located in Central, Hong Kong, founded and led by Chef Agustin Ferrando Balbi. Its culinary approach is defined as a harmony of influences from Spain, Italy, Argentina and Japan, reflecting the chef's personal journey, which combines the flavours of his childhood with those he learned and developed in Asia. Balbi himself describes the project as the realisation of his journey as a chef, unifying those two strands.

Tasting menus and signature dishes

The restaurant offers distinct tasting menus for lunch and dinner. The lunch menu, available Monday to Friday, is structured in three options: 3 courses for HK$688, 4 courses for HK$888 and 5 courses for HK$1,088. The dinner menu consists of 8 courses for HK$2,488 or 5 courses for HK$1,688. The menu includes a signature dish, the caldoso rice known as "Sin Lola", described as a tribute to the chef's grandmother.

Wine programme and accolades

The wine programme is led by Carlito Chiu, general manager and group wine director, and is built around two pillars: high-altitude terroirs from around the world and vanguard Asian producers. The selection includes wines from the Argentine Andes, European alpine slopes and mountain vineyards, alongside cool-climate Japanese wines, Chinese mountain estates and traditional Korean rice wines, such as slow-fermented Takju. Carlito Chiu has received the Best Sommelier Hong Kong award in 2024, 2025 and 2026 according to Tatler Best, the BAZAAR Taste Elite 30 in 2026 and the Michelin Guide Hong Kong / Macau Sommelier Award in 2025.

Team

In addition to founding chef Agustin Ferrando Balbi, the team includes Luis Rojas as executive sous-chef and Carlito Chiu as general manager and group wine director. The restaurant states it is open to bringing in dedicated, like-minded professionals and invites CV submissions, as well as students for internships.
