Our Journey
We are a hyper-local, family-run business born from a simple idea: to connect with our community through something that was missing — authentic, high-quality Argentine food.
When we moved to South East London, we realised there were no places to enjoy great empanadas, alfajores, and Argentine wine. So, we decided to create it.
What started as a small idea grew through online orders and local farmers’ markets, where the response from the community showed us we were onto something special. That’s when we began shaping a bigger vision: to offer not just great food, but a complete experience.
For us, it’s not just about baking exceptional handmade food. We’re passionate about working closely with local producers and supporting our community. Every ingredient is carefully sourced, and we collaborate with people who care as deeply as we do — ensuring that each empanada brings together the very best of the UK with Argentine tradition.
Our mission is simple: for you to leave happy every time you visit. We’ve designed our spaces to feel warm, welcoming, and familiar — like an extension of our own home. That’s why we lovingly call it our “Empanada House.”
Staying 100% independent, hyper-local, and community-focused is at the heart of everything we do. It allows us to keep creating the food we love — so you can love it too.
A family dream, shaped into an empanada.
Proudly independent in South East London.
