So, I saw this on nightline a few days ago and thought that it was just the most interesting thing in the world.
El Bulli, is a three Michelin starred restaurant run by chef Ferran Adrià.
The small restaurant overlooks the Cala Monjoi bay, in Roses on the Costa Brava in Catalonia, Spain, and has been described as "the most imaginative generator of haute cuisine on the planet" and does a great deal of work on molecular gastronomy.
Restaurant has judged El Bulli the best restaurant in the world a record four times — in 2002, 2006, 2007 and 2008.
The restaurant has a limited season from April to September; bookings are taken on a single day the previous October. It accommodates only 8,000 diners a season, with 800,000 people calling to try and book places — around 400 requests for every table. The average cost of a meal is around $318 dollars.; the restaurant itself has operated at a loss since 2000, with operating profit coming from El Bulli-related books, and lectures from Adrià.
Here's some photos in a slide show of some of the dishes they create there, idk if I'd be willing to eat any of them but they sure do look amazing. More like art than food!!
