The best restaurants East Valley

This small, discreet restaurant on the main road down to Andorra la Vella is not to be missed. In a very warm rustic setting, brought up to date by Emmanuelle and Julien, you can enjoy authentic half-French, half-Catalan cuisine: delicious grilled meat, fish a la plancha, pizzas, excellent charcuterie and a real cassoulet! The portions are generous, the products of an obvious quality. This small restaurant with a terrace in summer is a highly recommended address.

Open for a good ten years, this trendy restaurant-bar-lounge attracts a wide variety of customers. In a beautiful little wooded room, you can enjoy international cuisine for all tastes. Dylan's is the ideal place for the hyperactive who, after a day of skiing in El Tarter, are not yet tired enough or for hamburger lovers... It is also worth noting that the establishment broadcasts the main football matches live. A rather pleasant polymorphic place where it is not rare to meet people.

With its beautiful terrace overlooking the lake of Pessons, this restaurant is the ideal stopover to satisfy a small morning hunger while you are on the slopes, but also for a real lunch or even for a hearty dinner. On the program, a rich and typical Andorran cuisine(escudella, trinxat, mountain arroz and grilled meats) served in generous portions! Try to save some space for the homemade hot chocolate: a treat!

Impossible to miss with its fake cows grazing on fake grass, the Manacor restaurant overlooks the main road through El Tarter. It is THE place to go in the parish for those who want to enjoy thick slices of grilled beef. And in fact, there is a wide choice on the menu of this American ranch, a mountain version, with walls decorated with an impressive collection of miniature vehicles: next to the grilled meats, there is steak tartare, ribs with barbecue sauce, plates of cold cuts... In short, enough to satisfy even the strongest appetites!

Located on the first floor of a building at the entrance of the city of Encamp (at the traffic circle), this small unpretentious restaurant is run by a very nice Portuguese cook. On the menu, a fixed menu proposing a varied range of tapas as Spanish as can be, but also some suggestions of the day: seafood specialities but also some meats and roborative sandwiches! Very tasty desserts, very pleasant soundtrack and smiling service! We recommend it for a cheap and relaxed meal.

La Vaqueria is the main restaurant of the splendid Grau Roig hotel. Here you can choose between a series of rooms with the look of a chic chalet or the large terrace located just 50 meters from the chairlift. On the menu, you will find traditional Andorran dishes or more international preparations but always mountainous. The ingredients chosen are of the highest quality and you can feel the mastery of the kitchen team in each plate that comes out! Smart-sweet recommendation: the pistachio fondant is to die for!

In the warmth of an 18th century borda , here is a typical restaurant that is a pleasure to visit, run by Montse, a Catalan expatriate for a long time, and Kiko, a cheerful Andalusian. You can enjoy good mountain cuisine - especially excellent meat and grilled fish - in a family atmosphere, but also cold cuts, soups, pasta and salads prepared with products from the garden. The homemade desserts are sumptuous, such as the Pinya a la catalana (pineapple with cream), with pomegranate jam and limoncello.

Upstairs, above the SPAR supermarket, this nice resto-pub proposes a nice drinks menu and a no less incredible menu of dishes cooked on the grill (which gives a warm atmosphere to the place, which you won't regret in winter). On the menu, grilled food washed down with draft beers! Ideal after a day of skiing! For the amateurs, we can't recommend enough the pork ribs: huge and absolutely delicious!

Although recently opened, this address has the stamp of a medieval inn! It must be said that the walls that host this restaurant of typical Andorran gastronomy were put there, as the name of the restaurant suggests, more than three centuries ago, in 1693 to be precise. This old barn, which was used to keep the cattle warm during the winter, now offers delicious local dishes. Joël Sala, the chef, chooses his ingredients with love and prepares them in the respect of the tradition! A great discovery!

This bar-restaurant with terrace is located right on the slopes, and needs no introduction! A continuous service from 9am to 6pm on the bar and restaurant side with simple and generous dishes, pizzas, meats and beautiful salads, occasionally fresh oysters, but also pancakes and waffles. Above all, Le Madison is the place to be after skiing in a festive, international atmosphere, with English, Spanish and French people mingling and celebrating. The service is fast and efficient! Regulars and locals alike flock here during the season in a spirit of open camaraderie.

It is impossible to miss the traditional borda , under the sanctuary of Meritxell, which houses this restaurant. The slate walls, the typical Andorran cuisine and the surrounding mountains plunge us into a most pleasant rustic authenticity. Run by a young French couple, Borda l'Era del Rossell plays the local card, with chef Pierre making a point of elaborating a varied seasonal menu, both simple and full of flavour, where everything is home-made, while Jessica looks after the dining room, giving expert advice to customers.

This restaurant is located in a borda, away from the main avenue of Encamp. The tavern is small and dark, but very charming with its very successful agricultural decoration. In the service room, the fireplace is the center of everything: meat, fish and vegetables of choice are constantly grilled or roasted. The cuisine, homemade of course, swirls between classic Catalan gastronomy and no less classic Portuguese recipes. Very good value for money for this intimate and rustic address. Warm welcome.

The Provencal! Restaurant facing the ski slopes on the high part of the large avenue d'Encamp, very warm setting. Here it's mountain atmosphere! Come and devour the multiple raclette cheeses of a master cheese maker, or the generous Savoyard specialities... and one of the best fondues of the resort! The service is efficient and the products are of the highest quality. Cindy and Celio promise you a welcome and service as they have the secret, in the family and friendly atmosphere that makes the reputation of the place!

They are two young and friendly Argentinians, one from Buenos Aires, the other from Córdoba, who welcome you to their little mountain joint burger , opened in winter 2017. On the menu, a dozen variations around the classic gourmet burger (the beef comes from Andorra), with the signature Argentina, with melted provolone and homemade chimichurri mayonnaise! The menu includes a generous portion of fries and a drink, to be enjoyed to contemporary music. In 2022, the number of brothers has multiplied: there are five in the country.

You are warmly welcomed by the owner in this small unpretentious Andorran restaurant with the air of a mountain canteen. Simplicity and tradition are the order of the day: bread and Serrano ham, roasted snails, grilled meats and small vegetables, not forgetting the de rigueur Catalan cream for dessert, home-made and delicious! Without being great cuisine, you get what you pay for at Caliu d'En Josep! The wines in the shops also go very well with everything that comes out of the kitchen. Oh yes! The restaurant also prepares very good pizzas!

La Borda Vella is certainly the most famous address in Encamp, and this is probably not for nothing. Here we are dealing with something that flirts with the gastro. In the very neat and authentic setting of an old mountain house, you can enjoy small dishes and larger ones whose ingredients change according to the market's products, all year round. If the recipes are traditional, the cooks take pleasure in reinterpreting them. A recommended experience, provided you have the budget.

Pioneers of Asian gastronomy in Barcelona, the Kao family, with chef Josep Maria Kao assisted by Meilan Kao, landed in Andorra in 2018 with an ephemeral restaurant that follows its renowned philosophy and historical know-how. Kao Soldeu offers a high level of Chinese gastronomy, with balanced, tasty and healthy recipes and ingredients. They concoct a balanced menu adapted to the mountain, ideal to recover the energy spent after a day of sport: Peking duck, vegetable and truffle noodles and dim sums.

The name of this restaurant means "who wants to taste everything", so the concept is to make you discover a kitchen that makes use of your five senses… The products, mostly land, are thus carefully selected, prepared and presented. Prior to diversifying in the preparation of local traditional dishes, this restaurant specialises in the design of sandwiches, where the wide choice, hot or cold, proposes the map. It also has a wide range of Spanish and French wines from 14 € the bottle and to accompany dessert, it is recommended to opt for a glass of "El Ordonez de Malaga". For those who want to take a snack after a good afternoon skiing, to relax or to relax in the energy, the hotel offers different flavours of tea and different brands of organic beer.

At the beginning of the arcades, the Delicies enjoy a beautiful rustic decoration and a varied and well-stocked map. The reception is nice but above all, the kitchen (Spanish-Portuguese) follows better than well: paëllas, goat stew, cod doughnuts, fondues, breasts, house blanks and tartes…

In a airy, airy setting, this charming French bistro offers a tempting food blend of local products and specialities. On the menu: It is a great place to have a drink in the heart of the city. An ideal location for midday.
