The Andorran-style carving that you eat in a mountain hut at 1,900 meters altitude (and you can stay overnight)

AndorraSnow is universally appealing: it delights both snow sports enthusiasts and those who simply enjoy admiring it. For both groups, Andorra is a must-visit destination because this year there's snow, lots of snow, and perhaps even too much, as some Andorrans say. If you're heading to Andorra (Grandvalira is one of the most sought-after ski resorts), make a note of Borda del Pi, located at kilometer 5.5 on the Montaup-Canillo road, for lunch or dinner. If you arrive feeling chilly, you can sit in front of the fireplace in the center of the restaurant and start with appetizers. You'll soon feel safe and sheltered from everything happening outside. While enjoying the appetizers—vermouth, a platter of Andorran cured meats with coca bread dipped in tomato and extra virgin olive oil—you can admire the dessert on a nearby counter. They're all homemade: tarts of various flavors and preparations, among which the apple Tatin stands out. And where there's an apple Tatin, the world can stop.

With the beginning and end covered, let's move on to the main courses. Chef Jorge Sala is passionate about traditional Andorran cuisine, so you'll find Andorran-style shredded cabbage and potatoes on the menu, cooked to perfection—just right so you have to bite into them, yet still tender. It's accompanied by two slices of bacon and a piece of black sausage. Eat it with a spoonful of each ingredient. Next up are grilled artichokes, served in a tin; broad beans cooked with vermouth; cannelloni; beef stew; or steaks. The wine list features several local selections, available by the glass. And may all the snow fall as it may. In fact, if it snows heavily, know that La Borda also has rooms, so you can stay overnight.
