Ando

Hong Kong, China

• No.41 Asia's 50 Best Restaurants 2025

Helmed by Argentinian-born chef Agustin Balbi, Ando delivers a journey through the flavours Balbi grew up with and then later discovered in Asia. Ando means "the act of doing" in Spanish, while in Japanese it conveys a sense of comfort. This duality of action and ease mirrors the restaurant's cuisine, which blends Spanish roots with Japanese influence—shaped in part by Balbi's culinary apprenticeship in Japan. These flavours are expressed in a tasting menu that is influenced by seasonality and sustainability, reflecting Ando’s aim of providing a bridge between nature and guests. While the menu adapts with market availability, one signature is a caldoso rice dish called Sin Lola, which pays homage to Balbi’s grandma, who taught him cooking skills at a young age. Stop by for lunch without being weighed down: diners can choose between a 3 and 5 course menu, or take the leap with their 8-course experience menu for a celebratory meal.
