Andorra Gastronomy - Highlights






In Andorra gastronomy was traditionally centered around hearty, Pyrenees mountain fare, but these days things have changed and you can now find food with all kinds of international influences.

French and Spanish style cuisine have always had a presence in Andorra's gastronomy, especially from France in the north, and Catalan Spain in the south.

More recently, Italian food has become quite popular too.And now in Andorra, gastronomy from all over the world can be found in an excellent range of restaurants.





There are places with Spanish Tapas, French nouvelle cuisine, Italian, Mexican, Asian style, Japanese sushi, and of course, fast food too.

However, the best way to try authentic Andorran gastronomy, is to go to one of the stone built, often family run 'bordas' (bordes in Catalan).
