Traditional Andorran cuisine has always been linked to its condition of a country being in the Pyrenees. Its main recipes are similar to those in Catalan provinces in Spain, where they have developed during centuries heavily influenced by the cattle and farming cultures.

The cuisine in Andorra is the legacy of the former inhabitants, and it comes as no surprise that it has strong Spanish and French influences. In Andorra, you will find a great quantity of restaurants where to taste the delectable traditional recipes elaborated with products of great quality and combined with modern techniques.

The Principality of Andorra features several relevant culinary events year-round, that help to keep alive the local cuisine. The Escudella de Sant Antoni and Sant Sebastià (in January), the Butifarrada and the Sardinada de Carnaval, the winter cooking celebration of Lo Mandongo, and the Tapa Trail (in Feburary), the Riveu l’Aperitiu (every Sunday during Spring in Sant Julià de Lória), the cuisine cycle or Sabors del Món (in July and August), and the Andorra Cuisine Exhibition (September, in Ordino), and the Massana Fogons (in October too), are just some of the examples.
