The story

L'Auró: Michelin-Recommended Catalan Cuisine in Orís, Vilaseca

Family roots, fresh direction

L'Auró was born from a desire to renew a family legacy. The founders of the Bar/Restaurant Conanglell in Torelló ran a beloved home-style restaurant for 33 years. Their sons, Salvador and Jaume, grew up in the kitchen and later took over management. In 1999, driven by a spirit of reinvention, they moved the business to its current location in Orís, Osona, and opened L'Auró. Here, the brothers shifted from traditional home cooking to a more refined, elaborately prepared cuisine while keeping the warmth of family hospitality.

A philosophy of quality and closeness

The kitchen at L'Auró is guided by three principles: quality raw ingredients, attentive service, and comfort. The team sources prime products, with an increasing focus on local, seasonal produce. Each ingredient is handled to enhance its natural flavour, not mask it. The restaurant’s commitment to proximity means the menu changes with the seasons, reflecting what the land offers at its best. This dedication to honest, high-quality cooking earned L'Auró a Michelin Recommended distinction, a recognition of its consistent excellence.

Atmosphere and setting

Set along the C17 road just outside Vic, the restaurant occupies a renovated building with a garden and a well-stocked wine cellar. The interior is simple and comfortable, designed to let guests feel at ease. The brothers believe that knowing each guest’s preferences allows them to offer a more personalised experience, whether recommending a wine from the cellar or adjusting a dish to taste. The surrounding landscape of Osona, with its rolling hills and farmlands, adds to the sense of calm.

What to expect

L'Auró is a place where Catalan traditions meet modern, careful technique. While the menu is not published online, the philosophy points to a cuisine that respects the past but looks forward: seasonal vegetables, local meats, and the legumes that made the family’s earlier restaurant famous. The dining room is welcoming, the service familiar without being intrusive. For anyone seeking a thoughtful meal in a peaceful setting, L'Auró delivers exactly that.
