History

The "savoir-faire"
of rural wild game cuisine

La Fonda — Restaurant Sala is a family establishment in El Lluçanès that, as indicated by its name, offers both restaurant and accommodation services. It is headed by Toni Sala, who together with Aurora Gabasa opened the doors of La Fonda in 1959. Their extensive experience allowed them to open a new space in the 1980’s, El Restaurant: a comfortable, spacious and elegant restaurant in which to offer trendy and innovative meals, without abandoning their renowned "savoir-faire" for rural and wild game cuisine.

History of Fonda Sala

Restaurant Sala follows a careful and meticulous preparation process that has been awarded a Michelin star every year since 1992. The guide of the best restaurants in the world described its cuisine as being "highly delicate". It is an establishment well worth visiting both for its good food and for its iconic location and breath-taking surroundings.

As well as this gastronomic space many people travel from far and wide to visit, Fonda Sala offers other services that help make it such a renowned inn, like its daily menu based on homemade food and a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and its room service where you can spend the night and enjoy the tranquillity that can only be found in a town like Olost.
