The best restaurants Southwest Valley

It is inside the lobby of the Hotel Les Closes that we find the very cosy restaurant specialized in vegetarian dishes (one of the only ones in the principality): Noranta Tres! The address offers breakfasts as well as brunches or lunches (unfortunately, the restaurant is closed in the evening) elaborated with ultra-fresh and organic products. What to fill up with energy in a healthy, local and conscious way! A very nice discovery.

The Kökosnøt has no equal in Andorra. It is a modern restaurant where every detail, whether in the décor, the welcome or the plate, is the object of special attention. The cooks work with fine and delicate products, offering simple and original versions of traditional mountain recipes, but not hesitating to include more Mediterranean products in the menu. Here you are pampered by a smiling team that will advise you on the choices to be made during the meal.

Very popular in Andorra, this restaurant has been able to attract friendship and the confidence of all social classes thanks to its excellent service and its unquestionable good layout. The map, very extensive (and in 8 languages, please), favours fish and seafood (lobster, lobster, lobster…). The bar offers a wide range of appetizers and tapas served throughout the day. The garden is also worth a glance: The patches have had to crackling to cover the walls of thousands of photos.

Welcome to one of the oldest restaurants in the Principality, with a rustic look, but offering refined Mediterranean and Spanish influenced cuisine. The Celler d'En Toni is conveniently located in the back streets of the Andorran capital. The qualified staff will receive you with tact. The service is fast, but you take your time to enjoy the delicious dishes. Le Petit Futé fell in love with the croquettes and the delicious desserts. Hotel on the floor.

The service is impeccable, and you'll eat some very good thin-crust pizzas. The pizzas are classic, but with a few original touches such as apples, honey and green aniseed. Decorated by a local artist in shades of gray, white and touches of orange. Excellent value for money, and delicious as can be! It should be noted that the Angelo Italian cuisine chain changed hands at the end of 2022. There are now three restaurants throughout the principality.

Here, at Angelo's, the service is impeccable and you will eat very good thin crust pizzas. They remain classic, but with some original touches such as apples, honey or green anise. There are also some very good appetizers like the melted provolone and the homemade croquettes. As for the decoration, it is a local artist who took care of giving the place its grey-white tones with touches of orange tree. Excellent value for money!

Located in the historic district of Andorra la Vella, almost hidden, El Crostó has all the makings of a small authentic restaurant. The mountain bistro decor is very well done and the eight tables installed there are the assurance of a rather intimate meal. Before starting the service, the chef Jordi Sala "sings" the menu of the day to the customers. Typical dishes and conviviality are the order of the day in this place where the smell of good market food makes our mouths water while we wait to be served. Think of reserving, the places are expensive.

Mama María is a huge bar-restaurant nestled in a chalet set against the rock of the mountain. It is more than pleasant to have lunch and dinner there, at a large table of blond wood, or even better, at the gigantic curve of the central bar, to the rhythm of the pressures and the heart of the discussions. Wood-fired pizzas, tapas, Andorran specialities or classic international dishes... Mama María is also a " cervesería ", so it's the right place to drink at any time. And as soon as the sun comes out, the garden is full of people.

It is impossible to miss this great restaurant in the centre of the Andorran capital, just opposite the tourist office. At the table, next to the classic Pyrenean dishes (entrecote, lamb chops and braised fish), some Alpine specialities have been copiously invited such as fondues (bourguignonne or cheese), raclettes or grolle to replace coffee. The wooded decoration of this restaurant makes it a warm place. Four menus are also available for groups.

This traditional Andorran restaurant, which is spread over two floors, offers a variety of typical dishes of snails, fish, meat, porcini mushrooms and foie gras. For lovers of stronger and less usual flavours, you can find out here that Can Benet offers, when it is in season, some game dishes, among which we recommend partridge and wild boar and hare stews. An authentic Andorran address that can be found in the streets of Andorra la Vella.

Have you just walked up Meritxell Avenue and are you getting hungry? This is the restaurant for you!

The small restaurant room, with its imposing wood panelling, is rustic and friendly, with a beautiful old cash register.

As its name suggests, the Criterium is a brand new address in the capital which has for theme the universe of the bicycle. The room, just a step from the bus station, displays a modern and minimalist decoration honoring the small queen! On the plate, the offer is very varied and rather with an international fusion tendency: gyozas from the Pyrenees, salmon tacos, rainbow hummus, papas bravas from the mountain, but also a selection of salads, burgers, exotic dishes AND very successful km0! Great coffee, homemade cakes and brunch formulas.

Installed in the old center of the capital, Eric Marty has no more proof to make: noon and evening, the restaurant is almost full of locals! On the menu, dishes particularly well worked but also skilfully presented, for the pleasure of the taste buds AND the eyes. The service room, an assembly of small elegant and confidential spaces, is the image of the service: courteous but warm, professional but not stuffy. A really good address, modern, inventive and with an honest price. We advise you to book, especially in the evening!

Located on Carlemany Avenue in Escaldes-Engordany, Informal is a French and Mediterranean cuisine restaurant. In a rustic setting, dominated by light wood, you can enjoy thick cuts of meat as well as fish and seafood dishes (monkfish is incredibly well prepared). Some more international dishes, but no less successful, are also on the menu (pizza, pasta and salads). Also noteworthy is the fine selection of wines as well as the homemade desserts such as the excellent tiramisu.

An address as dapper and fresh as a freshly served cocktail! Le Mood lives up to its name: you come here to brighten up your mood to the sound of live music or an inspired DJ. The place is cool, even hype, without overdoing it, just like the preparations that come out of the kitchen. There are vegetarian portions to share, as well as more solid meat and fish dishes. A few exotic recipes are also on offer, to eat or drink: cocktails are one of the house specialties.

A little away from the hustle and bustle of the shopping streets, Plat'in is a small address that doesn't look like much, but which has been delighting locals and travelers alike for almost fifteen years (inaugurated on May 21, 2009). On the menu, small dishes of local inspiration made from ingredients that are also entirely from the surroundings. Proximity, quality and authenticity are the key words here! A healthy way to regain strength, in a friendly and local atmosphere. A real good address!

Ginza 41 is nothing less than the very first Japanese cuisine establishment in the Principality of Andorra. What's the best thing about this place? The basic products used for cooking are local. Thus, the most authentic Japanese culinary tradition is respected, even sublimated, thanks to quality ingredients. The place itself plays the card of the zen decoration: light woodworks on the walls and giant bonsai trees here and there contribute to create this feeling of travel in Asia. A real good address for raw fish lovers!
