Tomorrow, Saturday, the very last meal at Spanish El Bulli will be served. El Bulli has been awarded the World's Best Restaurant several times. There are two reasons why this restaurant is so famous; its groundbreaking gastronomy, and the fact that it is almost impossible to get a table. Rumor has it that almost two million people tried to book a table this year.
El Bulli will open again in 2014, not as a restaurant but as a creative centre. Whoever wants to try the Adriàs brothers food can instead visit the newly opened Tapas bar Tickets in Barcelona, or have som snacks from El Bulli at Cocktail bar 41°.*
"Most dishes you eat with the fingers. Not once during the dinner is the table set with knives and forks"*
I was there a couple of years ago with some friends. Thanks to the General Manager at wonderful Alva Park we managed to get a table. Even though El Bulli now closes, the area around Alva Park in Costa Brava is still where most of the fine gourmet restaurants are situated. Select Collection will be happy to book a table when you book your trip with us.
From mid of next week you can read more about our new VIP card with Concierge Service that will be unique to our most valued clients.
Upon my visit, I received this beautiful book "A day at El Bulli" as a gift
Rose Leaf Carpaccio
El Bulli is situated on the Costa Brava coast, 170 km north of Barcelona. The restaurant has not changed since the first time Ferran Adria came here. The same balks in the ceiling and the same rustic athmosphere exist today.
