El Bulli,. The Best Restaurant in the World

El Bulli is generally considered to be one of the best restaurants, if not the best, in the World. It is in Catalunya near Roses on th Costa Brava. AA Gill in the Times today has a great article about it which you can read here, but just to get a taste of it have a look at the following..

"getting a table at elBulli, in Girona, Spain, is an infuriating performance. The restaurant is open six months of the year. There are 8,000 chairs available, and 2m requests for them. Every one of them gets a courteous reply; most of them never get to smell the coffee. The few who do are told what date and when to come. It’s actually easier to get a seat next to the Pope than in elBulli."

Have you ever been? If so post in the comments section. A friend of mine from University is a good friend of the main man at El Bulli and he concurs on the food being the best.
