Brasería Mesón del Vero

The embers at the Mesón del Vero are made with Alquézar wood, and over them comes the Aragon ternasco that in 2024 won the prize for best traditional roast ternasco in Huesca. The mesón reopened in 2018 in a restored old building in the Arrabal district, the lower part of the town, with views of the Vero canyon and the collegiate church. In the kitchen, Boby Gheorghe is in charge.

Four menus and a menu

The menu of the day costs €27 and includes bread, water or a quarter-litre of Somontano red. In the version published in autumn 2026 the first courses were black rice, pumpkin ravioli, artichokes with ham, salmorejo or salad; for the second, chicken, Graus longaniza or Iberian pork on the grill, stewed wild boar, gratinated cod or trout, and with a supplement the entrecôte (€5) or the ternasco ribs (€5.50).

The special menu, at €37 per person and for a minimum of two, is three starters to share and a main course of your choice, including the oven-roasted shoulder of ternasco or the mixed grill. The chuletón menu, at €59 per person and also for two, centres on a 40-day-matured beef chuletón of about a kilo. For children there is a children's menu at €14: macaroni and Graus longaniza or chicken.

The à la carte, on the grill

If you go à la carte, the ternasco comes two ways: grilled ribs or oven-roasted shoulder, the prize-winning one, at €21 each. The entrecôte costs the same, the mixed grill for two €49 and the premium chuletón, €59 a kilo. Among the starters, Barbastro pink tomato salad with tuna belly (€16), Radiquero cheese board (€17) or grilled octopus (€24); among the stews, wild boar in Somontano wine with mushrooms or oxtail. Desserts from €5.50 to €7.50. The wine list is almost all Somontano, from €11 a bottle.

Sittings and days

It opens from 11:00 to 21:30 every day except Wednesday, when it is closed. Tables are booked in sittings: at midday between 13:00 and 15:15, and in the evening between 20:00 and 21:30. Book with the form on its website, on 974 318 074 or at [email protected]; the house recommends doing so in advance.

Who it is for

For eating hungrily after the Vero walkways or a canyon, without climbing to the old town: the Arrabal is in the lower part of the town. With children there is a menu of their own. The website does not say whether it admits dogs; ask when you book.
