The Prat del Roure Yesterday I smelled roast, cannelloni, brioche and also cake. In short, high mountain gastronomy. theAndorra Taste has opened its doors to the public this weekend with the Taste Popular. The good weather and the heat accompanied a day in which the tables were filling up and the queues were getting longer in front of the twenty-four stands to taste the different tapas. All together, with live music and spaces to sit and have a bite. There were many Andorrans, but also tourists, such as Laurawhich came from Teruel expressly to taste the snails of the Can Manel restaurantwhich he found “very good”. In a first assessment, he gave the experience an 8, although he asked for more shaded areas for next year. He also suggested installing some awnings in the drinks area, because there was a long queue and waiting in the sun was torture. another one Lauraneighbor ofAndorra la Vellacame with her friend Cristina No edition of the is lost Taste Popular and yesterday the excuse was not having to cook at home. After doing a via ferrata, they decided to stop by the contest for lunch. Between the two of them they tasted the duck brioche from Beijing by Kao Soldeuthe cannelloni and roast juice ofOdetti Bistrothe honeyed rice of diamond and the cheek of Fismuler beef. The latter and the duck brioche are the dishes they recommend. The new location is one of the most highly rated aspects. “In previous editions we always complained about the lack of space, the lack of shadows, and since the tennis courts have been removed, the truth is that it feels much more spacious”, explained the Laura There was also a very positive assessment of the introduction of card payment. “It’s cool that they let you pay directly by card”, they explained david and the Laura, a French couple living in Andorra la Vellahe went to the Taste for the first time with his son. The price of the tastings, on the other hand, generated more debate. “Some dishes are too fair in amount for what you pay”, she explained Cristinawhile the Maria PilarArgentine resident in Massanaconsidered that the increase was acceptable because the quality was maintained. “For once a year it’s worth it”, he said. However, he asked for more options for vegetarians and more points to grab drinks next year. The Maria Pilar arrived at Prat del Roure with the list made. He tasted the mushroom brioche, the raclette with truffle, the Peking duck briochethe cannelloni of theunique of socarrat of mountain rice and smoked salmon. He had to choose one as a recommendation and it was clear from the first moment: the Peking duck brioche. At the stalls, restaurateurs took advantage of the event to publicize their proposals. Alexis Estopiñánof Youcakes by Estopiñánhas participated since the first edition and this year has brought chocolates in the shape of a forest pineapple inspired by the Madriu valley and a rosé champagne cake with no added sugars. The organization will make the final assessment this afternoon, however Enrique Torres, Director of Product and Events of Andorra Tourismemphasizes that it is already well established.
“Before we complained about the lack of space, now there is much more space”
“Some dishes are just the right amount for what you pay”
“If the quality is maintained (relative to the price), for once a year it’s worth it”
