Jose Luis Pérez Landeta has been at the helm of one of the most iconic restaurants in Bilbao for almost three decades.
Casa Rufo is the story of several generations united by a love for fine cuisine and a commitment to quality.
En el año 55, Don Rufino, un hombre querido por todos cuanto le conocían, pone su propio nombre al negocio, que se traslada por la demolición del edificio del Banco de Vizcaya a la ubicación actual, en el número 5 de Hurtado Amezaga.
Jose Luis, al frente de Casa Rufo, es uno de esos profesionales que, con su buen hacer y su trabajo diario, hace posible que la gente llegada de todo el mundo diga eso de: Como se come de bien en Bilbao.
THE SHOP Our shop
Casa Rufo started out as a small deli, where gatherings with food and snacks were hosted in the back room. Players from Athletic Club and friends from near and far would come together, all organized by the charismatic Rufo. Today, his son Jose Luis continues the tradition, maintaining a delicatessen at the entrance stocked with a wide variety of carefully selected, high-quality products.
AUTHENTIC Restaurant
Casa Rufo is a genuinely authentic place. Since 1995, it’s been a Bilbao classic, offering a unique atmosphere that you feel the moment you step into the deli, which today also serves as a dining spot. Founded in 1955, the shop later inspired the creation of a restaurant.
The wine cellar boasts an extensive selection of wines from various regions and countries, along with an excellent collection of top-quality brandies.
Simplicity, expertise, and the finest ingredients make Casa Rufo a true benchmark for traditional Basque cuisine in the city.
Very special people
