Casa Rufus

Updated 2026Gessa, Val d'Aran

A long-running traditional restaurant in the tiny stone village of Gessa, just below Salardú, open since 1986. The grill is the strong point — aged sirloin and entrecôte, braised oxtail, suckling pig and venison carpaccio — alongside seasonal Aranese cooking and game. Generous, honest mountain food at fair prices.
