An ode to the classic New York City bodega

Ándale is a love letter to the bodega, the neighborhood corner store where you can find whatever you need in a quick pinch.

Our story

NYC to CHI

After living in New York for nearly two decades, we moved to the Windy City and opened Ándale in December 2020 (yes, that 2020). It was a real put-your-chips-on-the-table move, and we haven't looked back since. We're continually humbled by the neighborhood love from our regulars, and the growing support from our online community.

Only the good stuff

We love good company and better food, and believe the best times are when they collide. Ándale is a place to discover your new favorite thing, be it crusty bread, soft cheese, tingling chili oil, tinned fish, or a cutting board to serve it on. Making any meal a reason to gather is what we do best.

We don't have culinary degrees, but we've got good taste

We're Tim and Mia, perpetually curious and always hungry. We spent years eating our way around the world, from mom-n-pop holes in the wall to Michelin starred tasting menus. The last stop is always our kitchen table, where we recreate the dishes from our memories and build new ones.
