Named after a beach in Mar del Plata, Argentina, and run by chef Ricardo (who is Argentinian with Italian and Lebanese roots), Alfonsina is bringing a taste of Latin America to Farringdon. The fusion menu takes inspo from Ricardo’s heritage, his time spent at Peruvian restaurant La Mar by Gaston Acurio in San Francisco, and his experiences of living in Brazil and Mexico. As well as a range of cebiches, tiraditos, yakicuchos skewers and taquitos, the menu includes dishes like fried chicken with jalapeno and spicy salsa verde achalacada; sweetcorn and leek tamal with spicy criolla sauce; grilled seabass with seasonal vegetables, aji amarillo risotto, and charapita sauce; ribeye with Andean potatoes, roasted peppers, and chimichurri sauce; and tres leches cake, alongside a short, entirely South American wine list.
