Chef Axier Arbilla, from Restaurant Arbeletxe, represented La Seu d'Urgell this Sunday and Monday at the GastroPirineus 2026 summit, held at the Boí Taüll ski resort.

During the first day, Arbilla led a session focused on Cadí cheeses and mountain landscapes. The event brought together renowned Catalan chefs to showcase contemporary mountain cuisine and local products from the Pyrenees.
The gathering featured a gala dinner prepared by Eli Farrero, Míriam Oliva, Sergi de Meià, and pastry chef Oriol Balaguer. Balaguer presented a chocolate replica of the Sant Climent de Taüll church as a tribute to the local heritage.

"We want the restaurant to remain creative and avant-garde, seeking new techniques while integrating the territory and its products."
