World's best restaurant...


El bulli....

El Bulli is a three Michelin starred restaurant run by chef Ferran Adrià in Roses on the Costa Brava in Catalonia, Spain. The small restaurant overlooks the Cala Monjoi bay, and has been described as "the most imaginative generator of haute cuisine on the planet".[1], with a great deal of work done on molecular gastronomy. Restaurant has judged El Bulli the best restaurant in the world a record four times — in 2002, 2006, 2007 and 2008.[2]
The restaurant has a limited season from April to September; bookings are taken on a single day in 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 250; the restaurant itself has operated at a loss since 2000, with operating profit coming from El Bulli-related books, and lectures from Adrià.[3][1] As of April 2008, the restaurant employed 42 chefs.[2 (wikipedia.org)
