Restaurante Mama María

If you travel to Andorra with your dog, write down this address: Av. Meritxell, 27. Mama María is right on Andorra la Vella's main commercial street and is one of the few places where your companion can walk through the front door without drama and without getting strange looks.

The cuisine is Mediterranean with local influences: seasonal products, carefully prepared dishes without going overboard with presentation, and homemade desserts that are worth trying even if you're short on stomach space. The restaurant has its own personality, with a terrace that during high season is one of the best spots to sit down for a peaceful meal in the city.

Andorra la Vella is hardly Europe's dog capital, so finding a place with this attitude—and with this kind of cooking—is a gift. Ideal if you've had a long day of shopping or hiking and need a real break.
