If variety is the spice of life then Arinsal's restaurant scene must be hot, hot, hot!

Whether you're looking for a romantic meal, a lively place to kick back with your mates or just somewhere to fill up after a hard day on the slopes, Arinsal will have exactly what you're looking for. And it won't cost you and arm and a leg because – have we mentioned this yet? – you don't pay tax on anything in Andorra.

Here's a selection of our favourite places to chow down...

Ciscos

Tex-mex restaurant upstairs from the bar serving a great range of house specials including fajitas, Cajun mango chicken and Cisco's special ribs. Make sure you say how spicy you want your food when you order!

Find it: opposite the gondola.

Timotea

Popular pizzeria and tapas bar with a range of healthy option salads and pastas if you don't feel like you've burned off enough calories on the slopes!

Refugi d'Arinsal

The best place to eat on the mountain, Refugi D'Arinsal serves specialities like Catalan soup and lamb downstairs and fast food upstairs. The menu of the day is always good value.
