Differential Value: Local Tips
As an Andorran, I've seen hundreds of visitors go without dinner. If you're organizing your days and looking at how to plan your trip, engrave this in your mind:
- Our hours are European: Kitchens at lunchtime usually operate from 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM. At night, if you try to order a table at 10:45 PM, most of the places on this Top list will have their stoves turned off.
- Reservation is almost mandatory: Most of these places put up a "Fully Booked" sign in winter and August. It is common and necessary to call them a few days in advance or use their websites.
- Parking: Don't drive to the door. Leave your vehicle in the central public communal car parks and walk.
