The national dish of Andorra is Escudella i Carn d’Olla.

🇦🇩 Escudella i Carn d’Olla

This is a hearty mountain stew, perfectly suited to Andorra’s Pyrenean climate. It consists of:

• A rich broth
• Pasta shells or rice
• A variety of meats (pork, beef, chicken, and sausages)
• Vegetables such as cabbage, potatoes, carrots, and chickpeas
• The famous pilota: a large spiced meatball

It’s traditionally served in two parts:

1. The broth with pasta or rice
2. The meats and vegetables on a separate platter

Why it matters

• Considered Andorra’s most traditional and emblematic dish
• Especially eaten in winter and during festive occasions
• Reflects Andorra’s Catalan roots and mountain heritage
• Central to Escudella Day on Sant Antoni (17 January)
