Arrived late in Andorra after a long drive from Toulouse, so I wanted a good meal. Really did not disappoint. Had the wild mushroom salad with foie gras, the salmon carpaccio and the escargots. The lady owner was very delightful, explaining the menu to me even though I could tell she was rather tired of repeating the same thing to every customer.
The restaurant had a cosy setting, and it was split into two sides, one with the bar. I was seated in the one without the bar, which was much quieter. The food was excellent, and there was both French and some Catalan dishes.

As another reviewer has said eat/drink whatever Henrik recommends! We hunted this place down after doing a search on trip advisor for the best place in La Massana and we weren't disappointed.
Lovely quaint décor, quirky and interesting. We went for lunch which was very quiet but it meant that we got the best of Henrik's advice.
We had broad beans with local ham and black chorizo to start which were delicious, hubby had the Catalan onion soup which was a thin ish soup with a big cheesy crouton on top, also very good. Then hubby had a steak, which Henrik advised not to add a sauce to (he was right!) and I had duck and foie gras ravioli all washed down with a really good local red wine that Henrik recommended.
We even stayed on to try some of Henrik's wifes homemade chocolate cake with chocolate sauce, which was probably the most chocolately dessert I've ever had! I could feel my teeth dissolving from the sugar ;) but it was worth it.
Definitely worth tracking this place own if you want an authentic meal!

Delicious home cooked food,using the finest ingredients. Interesting and unusual dishes from around the world served in a friendly village restaurant with stunning mountain views.
We had a fabulous time with the Chef/Owner and his partner.
The food was well cooked and presented with a delightful wine selection to compliment it.
The conversation with the hosts was equally as enchanting as the conversation with our hosts for the evening. We liked it so much we went for dinner there on two consecutive nights including for our 5 year anniversary. Highly recommend it!

Tl;dr: DELICIOUS food, 2 hours having lunch and funny waiter. I'll come back.
The restaurant is quiet hidden and the decoration pretty old-fashioned.
The waiter is really funny and you can perceive that he has a lot of experience.
The restaurant is little having room for about 20 people.
Talking about food... gorgeous I had the best Risotto I've ever tasted in my life. I also had a delicious piece of meat. And the couland, eventhough it wasn't perfectly cooked it was delicious anyways.
We spent around 2 hours having lunch, but we were very comfortable and had eaten very good.
If I come back to Andorra, I'll surely come back.

A delightful and relaxing setting lends itself to an amazing meal with wonderful service. Fabulous starters of veloute with wild mushrooms and Iberian ham, and a carpaccio of shrimp and citrus. Followed by duck confit with red fruits and an amazing raviloil with truffles. Lovely choices of local wines. This is a place not to miss if you visit Andorra.
Thank you for such a lovely lunch!

We had a croque-monsieur and a Sandwich for lunch, then coffee, a couple macarons and an almond cookie for dessert. The croque-monsieur (labelled bikini) was lukewarm and the cheese on top was hard. It would've needed more time under the griddle and I suspect mine was simply microwaved. The almond cookie was tasty but a bit dry. The macarons, however, were simply delicious.

We stopped here with our guide James on the last day of our skiing at Grandvallira. He knew that we prefer truly excellent fine dining as opposed to caffeterias on the slopes. he did not disappoint as this restaurant was truly excellent. We started with the French Onion soup done in the Catalan tradtion with the egg in. We went on to the main, I had the lamb chops. truly excellent. The others also raved. We did go onto desert. Please don't ask how we skiied back but needless to say that eventhough we were a little heavier we still made it back to Soldeu. All in all, Excellent!

The restaurant has a wonderful view of the lake Engolaster. The people are very friendly and the food is tipical andorran, not sophisticated but very good. I suggest you try the entrecote and the butifarra. We were there during the week and the service was good. They offered us Limincello made by the owner, and you could really tell the difference. I also suggest you try the dessert cream of yogurt with lemon taste. I will go back again for sure.

We wanted to enjoy our dinner in Andorra in a Borda (typical Pyrenees farmer house) and we booked Borda Vella. Everything was perfect: the service, the food, the wine... Nice atmosphere as well. We were sleeping in Andorra la Vella but definetely the trip was worth it (less than 10 minutes).

Never in my life have I been served by such a miserable female.. not only did she pull her face whilst taking our order she positively scowled when I asked for something other than her recommendation. 3 steaks ordered all different medium well done and medium rare all came the same... rare ! advice ? don't go there
