El Cabin Bar Restaurant

El Cabin Bar Restaurant is a casual restaurant in Casa Pobladó on the CG-5 in central Arinsal. It combines a broad menu, a bar and a mountain-resort atmosphere, making it a convenient stop for dinner, après-ski drinks or a meal after walking around the valley. The Sant Moritz operator page describes a mix of Andorran-inspired cooking and modern dishes, cocktails, music and seasonal events. The venue is part of the village dining scene rather than a restaurant on the ski slopes; its location in the centre of Arinsal makes it reachable on foot from nearby accommodation and the main road.

The restaurant presents its cooking as a blend of local tradition and contemporary food, with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Its current public-facing menu page is available through the operator, although specific dishes and prices can change. Recent visitor records mention fondue, steak burgers, wok dishes, nachos, croquettes, patatas bravas and the Cabin burger. Older and aggregated menu listings also mention meats, rice, pasta, pizza, salads and vegetarian dishes. Those examples suggest a broad casual menu rather than a single-specialty restaurant, but visitors should check the current menu before making plans around a particular dish. A review listing gives a typical per-person range of roughly €20–€30, which should be treated as an indicative directory estimate, not a fixed price.

Fondue stands out in visitor comments as a popular choice, including cheese fondue and variations served with bread or accompaniments. Other recent diners describe returning on consecutive evenings to try different dishes and mention friendly multilingual service. These are individual experiences, not a service guarantee, but they help explain why the venue works for groups who want familiar choices as well as a mountain-style shared meal. If you are ordering fondue or another dish designed for sharing, ask the team about portion size and current accompaniments. Vegetarian options appear in the restaurant’s directory category and user comments, but the exact current selection and preparation practices should be confirmed directly.

The atmosphere is described by the operator as lively and suited to gatherings, with cocktails, music and themed events during the year. The same space can still work for an ordinary dinner: guests mention dining at the bar, sharing starters and choosing burgers or other individual plates. The restaurant offers private-event planning for birthdays, dinners with friends and family celebrations. Contact the team in advance for group arrangements, because event menus, room setup and availability may differ from normal service. Music and special events are occasional rather than a nightly schedule that should be assumed.

El Cabin also has outdoor seating. Visitor comments describe a terrace beside the river and mountain surroundings, and the operator promotes drinks on the terrace after a day outdoors. A river-side table can be especially pleasant in warmer weather, while cold, rain or snow may shift the experience indoors. Terrace placement and availability depend on conditions and seating; if it matters to your visit, request it when booking. Recent profiles also list parking, wheelchair access, Wi-Fi and takeaway, but facility details can change and should be verified with the restaurant if they affect your plans.

The address appears in several formats. The current Sant Moritz operator page gives Carretera General de Arinsal, s/n, Casa Pobladó, AD400 Arinsal, while the current Google-derived directory uses CG-5, 25. Older guides list other road numbers because of historic address formatting. These references identify the same business through the phone number +376 838 216, operator website and matching map location. If your navigation app takes you to a nearby building, use the name El Cabin and call the restaurant rather than assuming the street-number mismatch represents a second branch. Email cabin@santmoritz.com is also published for bookings and event requests.

Current published hours vary between profiles. Restaurant Guru’s Google-derived listing, updated in September 2026, shows Sunday and Saturday lunch service from 13:00 to 16:00, evening service from 18:00 or 19:00 until midnight or 01:00 depending on day, and Tuesday closed. Tripadvisor’s claimed profile instead displays 17:00–23:45 every day. The operator page confirms the venue and booking contacts but does not show a stable weekly schedule in the material reviewed. Because the current schedules disagree, call +376 838 216 or use the operator’s booking link to confirm the day and whether lunch is served before travelling. Seasonal demand and private events may also affect service.

The restaurant takes reservations and serves both food and drinks. No ticket is needed for ordinary dining. Guests with allergies or dietary restrictions should explain them directly to staff, as public listings do not provide a complete allergen matrix or cross-contact policy. Families can ask about high chairs and children’s options; directory profiles list these, but they are best confirmed when booking. For a larger party, a terrace request, or a special event, advance contact is particularly useful.

El Cabin works well when you want a full-service village meal with a varied menu and a bar, rather than a quick snack at the lift. The combination of fondue, burgers, wok dishes, cocktails and local-style food gives mixed groups several ways to order, while the terrace and event offering add flexibility in suitable weather. Check the current schedule and menu with the operator, use the CG-5/Casa Pobladó location for directions, and reserve if visiting at a busy ski or summer period. That small bit of planning helps avoid the conflicting third-party schedules and lets you choose whether the visit is for a meal, a drink or a group occasion.
