The best restaurants North Valley

The food is good in this borda next to the church, and the two small rooms quickly fill up. The menu displays specialities of braised meat, delicious pigs' feet, snails, partridge, finely prepared bull's tail and other lamb chops... The homemade desserts are particularly recommendable here. The meals are copious and of good quality, and the service is very pleasant. Keep a close eye on the prices though, as the bill tends to go up very quickly. Good food though.

At Angelo's, the service is impeccable, and you'll eat some very good thin-crust pizzas. The pizzas are classic, but with a touch of originality, such as apples, honey or green aniseed. Decorated by a local artist in shades of gray, white and touches of orange. Excellent value for money, and delicious beyond compare! The owner of the Andorran restaurant changed at the end of 2022, and there are now three restaurants in the principality.

Pizzas and meats cooked on a wood fire, fresh pasta and French cuisine are to be discovered in the salmon and blue room and its large picture windows. With a yellow and white flowery tablecloth, this pizzeria has a very spring-like atmosphere and we love it! The team makes us taste good pizzas (no less than 15 different ones!) including the Coll d'Ordinal pizza which mixes sweet and salty, a must-try. Otherwise, the favourite dishes remain the fish, gambas, duck breast and confits, as well as the Escalope Val d'Aoste or the tarte Tatin.

Cal Silvino has been established for a dozen years in La Massana, and has the advantage of offering a cuisine at the crossroads of two worlds with complementary gastronomic traditions: Andorran and Portuguese. Thus, we enjoy generous plates of meat and seafood prepared with know-how in a warm atmosphere. From braised octopus to cod in sauce, from meat or fish tartars to various canelons , without forgetting the gourmet desserts and some very good wines in store. A simple and authentic break.

Although it opened fairly recently, this restaurant, run by chef Andreia Antúnez, has managed to establish itself as a leading address for new Andorran cuisine in La Massana. What do we mean by new Andorran cuisine? Quite simply, a fresh take on the principality's traditional recipes. If it is in the old pots that one marmitonne the best, that does not prevent from daring some heresies! On the menu: stews, rice, meat and seafood. Let's note the particular care put in the presentation!

The Coma restaurant in the hotel of the same name has been run by the Riba family for generations. The service is done in the old-fashioned way for more authenticity and the gastronomic cuisine is the work of a chef who once worked in a Michelin starred restaurant. The menus vary according to the season, and have themes. Why not try the gargantuan tasting menu, with, among other things, poached egg bain-marie with truffle oil, monkfish suquet with crayfish, partridge with cal ventura vinaigrette.

Although the chefs of Borda Raubert, a true Andorran institution for decades, have finally given up their aprons, the business has not stopped! The name has changed to Borda Les Xicoies and the chef Xavi Vendrell, a specialist in local recipes, is now in charge of the kitchen, adding a modern touch. Real good mountain cooking! A very authentic address that we highly recommend if you want to (re) discover the specialties of the region.

Comfort and warmth dominate the atmosphere of these places, which are undoubtedly among the best known and most appreciated in Andorra. You are welcomed with kindness in a rustic and charming room that almost makes you think you are in a tavern. In the dining room on the ground floor there is a huge grill, a favourite place for everything that can be browned. Local cuisine is served, presented with great taste and finesse: shoulder of lamb, fillet on the spit, duck foie gras, roasts... A sure value.

This is a real Andorran gastronomic borda as we like it! The menu at Moli dels Fanals includes pig's trotters with mushrooms, Catalan-style duck, trout with honey, cod carpaccio, chicken with crayfish, cuttlefish with meatballs and meats in pierrade. The service is always charming and warm, and the setting most picturesque. A word of advice: food lovers should keep a little room in their stomachs for the desserts... Very good value for money. Establishment adapted to the people with reduced mobility.

A meeting place, located at the entrance of the village of Ordino, the Topic is THE reference. With a large sunny terrace and a friendly service, you will feel at ease. With a brasserie approach, you can have a quick bite to eat (tapas), or enjoy its market cuisine (local meat, wood-fired grills). On the bar side, a very complete menu will answer all your desires. Without any doubt, a pleasant place to rest after a long walk in the mountains.

The view of the mountains from the Ensegur's service room is superb. As for the cuisine, you can choose between classic Spanish tapas (very good croquettas, platters of Iberian sausages, pan con tomate and copious patatas bravas) and typical Andorran mountain dishes, such as the wild boar stew accompanied by homemade gnocchi. Warm welcome. Special mention for the chocolate fondue for dessert! Friendly and discreet service. An address full of simplicity.

This is the restaurant of Xixerella Park, a rather charming mountain resort . La Borda offers typical Andorran recipes, but also some Mediterranean dishes (the grilled fish are particularly good) and even more international ones. The service as well as the setting are very pleasant, the plates are full and well presented. Enough to get your strength back before tackling the solid mountains! An address that is not necessarily cheap, but which will certainly suit the whole family.

For more than 30 years, the Portuguese chef Amaro and his family have been at the head of this welcoming borda. A rustic, old-fashioned setting where you can enjoy mountain cuisine with typical recipes from the country: soups, cheese assortments, Iberian cold cuts, meat and cheese fondues, the famous trinxat, grilled meats and the inevitable mountain rice! The chef also offers specific dishes for each season, including calçots (a typical onion from Catalonia and Andorra) which we recommend in winter. Home-made desserts.

Generous breakfast, lunchtime menu to recharge your batteries, sandwiches or pizzas throughout the day, dinner in a friendly atmosphere... El Cabin is always there to welcome you. You will be able to taste, at your choice: sea bream or duck roasted in the oven, scrambled eggs with Iberian ham, cream of vegetables (from the garden), grilled meats, risotto or vegetable wrap... All served in an exceptional setting overlooking the river Arinsal.
