 Poster: A snowHead

Anyone know roughly what to budget for a baguette and a drink (coke?) when on the mountains in Andorra? Last time we skied in France we were paying about 15E/day for lunch and I think a can of coke was 5E

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Yeah, even though prices on the slopes are inflated, €15 will buy you a real decent lunch.

I actually think it's worth splashing out in places like Andorra, gives you a chance to enjoy a special meal you might not choose here. We had an amazing lunch at the Arrosseria Pi de Migdia Restaurant just above El Tarter. 7 courses and a bottle of sparkly for a fraction of the cost of an equivalent meal in the UK.
Good chance to get in the good books...

@scotspikey, a large beer is roughly €4 around town/villages. On the mountain somewhere between €4 and €6 (I now avoid the place where it cost €6!). A coke is often more expensive than a beer!
@pieman666, where is that?
@skimummk, most places on the mountain are owned by the lift company. Food at the self service places tends to be quite basic and expensive for what you get. Most self service places do have restaurants attached I’ve not really stopped at any of them. There aren’t many independent places but there are by the pistes in Pas and in El Tarter.
I think it’s similar at Pal/Arinsal although the Derby does have a place on the slopes at Arinsal.

Try the lunch at the El Refugi when at Arinsal. (it's on the other the magic carpets). Good lunches at the lower level and more snack-type food at the upper level. It might be worthwhile to reserve a table if you want lunch inside.
I can also recommend the hot Milka muffins if you want a sweet snack

@hammerite, that's the hot drink counter at restaurant at the top of the Soldeu gondola.

@pieman666, ah, that’s much better stocked than when I was last in there. I ended up with a disappointing slice of lukewarm pizza for €7! Hence why I’ve not returned.
@ysb33r, next time I’m over there, I’ll have a look for El Refugi.

@hammerite, the pictures were taken around 10:30 as it was a very early hot chocolate stop for my wife....

4 euro for a beer on the mountain? Pretty sure I paid that in Austria a few years ago.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

That's really helpful thanks - son and his friends going to Pas de La Casa and the andorratravelservice offer a lift pass/ski hire/lunch package but going by these prices its not worth it - they'll be better with the flexibility as some days they probably won't even get on the slopes by lunchtime lol!

We bought the lunch add on to the lift pass and wished we hadn't as it does restrict your choice but isn’t bad value I’d you want a snack rather than a nice meal. We just enjoy a good lunch !

You know it makes sense.

thanks JD Mark - they won't stop for a full lunch, but the lift pass is dearer on the site that bundles it so they might as well take the cheaper lift pass and just pay cash for lunch - I've told them to save money by taking a picnic - but I can't see that happening lol!
