Since Andorra Catalan was once fed largely by one Catalan menu – with lots and carefully flavored sauces. The dishes are simple, often crude, the portions are large. We eat lots of vegetables. Specialty: “Zarzuela de Mariscos” (literally, “the musical comedy Seafood”), each of which is freshly prepared. “Xanfaina” is a kind of vegetable sauce, which may contain everything that grows in the garden. “Romescu” is another fairly sharp special sauce, are contained in the almonds and cayenne pepper.
