Traditional Andorran food: Stews and soups
Escudella
This is one of the symbols of the country’s traditional food, consisting of a hearty stew with meat, vegetables, legumes and pasta or rice. Though associated with the winter, some restaurants serve it all year round for fans of Andorran cuisine.
Beef fricandó with mushrooms
Fricandó is a smooth, creamy stew with beef cooked slowly in sauce, accompanied by mushrooms from the mountains. The ideal dish if you’re looking for intense yet comforting flavours. If this sounds like you, come and try it in our restaurant. Here, you will get to savour an authentic taste of traditional Andorran food.
Partridge casserole
This is a much-loved game recipe and an example of traditional Andorran food. The partridge is marinated in red wine and herbs before being stewed until tender.
Mountain flavours
Trinxat de muntanya
A humble yet delicious dish, trinxat de muntanya is made from cabbage, potato and bacon and represents the essence of mountain cuisine. It leaves its mark on everyone who tries it and is perfect for recharging your batteries after a day out in the Andorran valleys. At our restaurant, we serve this dish cold with its characteristic crispy fried bacon to intensify the flavour.
River trout
This light, fresh dish is usually grilled or fried, sometimes with a touch of ham. It’s a really popular option among those who want to know what to eat in Andorra and are looking for something with a healthier profile.
Artisanal cold meats and cheeses
Artisanal cold meats
Llonganissa, bull, donja and other cured meats are a key part of the traditional Andorran pantry, ideal as an appetiser or on a sharing platter. At our hotel, we recommend trying our freshly cut acorn-fed ham: the perfect choice for exacting palates.
Andorran cheeses
Made artisanally with cow’s or sheep’s milk, Andorra’s cheeses boast an intense flavour and a texture that reflects the quality of local production. At Hotel Naudi Boutique, we serve Andorran cheeses from Casa Raubert, making sure we enhance their different subtleties and offer an authentic Andorran cuisine experience. A delicious way of discovering what to eat in Andorra if you’re looking for tradition and quality.
Dishes to share and tapas
Snails a la llauna
These are baked snails served with aioli or a spicy sauce: a dish full of character and a much-loved part of Andorran cuisine.
Coca bread with roasted vegetables and anchovies
A flatbread covered with roasted vegetables such as peppers, aubergine and onion, ideal paired with a good mountain wine.
Traditional desserts
Panellets
These small sweet treats are made from almonds, pine nuts or coconut. Though traditionally eaten on All Saints’ Day, they can be found in cake shops in Andorra for much of the year.

This simple, fresh dessert is the perfect way to finish an exquisite meal at the Hotel Naudi Boutique restaurant. Made from soft cheese and mountain honey, it’s the perfect representation of the connection between traditional Andorran food and the country’s natural environment.
