Ferran Adrià is considered by many to be the greatest chef in the world and his restaurant, El Bulli, to be the greatest restaurant in the world. Located in Roses, Spain, El Bulli is a holy mecca for food lovers. The 35-course taster’s menu is a grand experience of tastes, textures, and wonder. An architect of molecular gastronomy, Adrià’s creations are designed to surprise and enchant his guests.
If you go, plan on making restaurants months in advance. El Bulli serves only dinner, has less than 50 seats, and only makes one sitting. They are also closed from October to March. Of the approximately 2,000 bookings every year, they receive over 400,000 applications. Expect to pay about $150 per person, not including wine.
To make reservations: El Bulli begins taking reservations for the following year in mid-October which are usually filled the first day. E-mail: bulli@elbulli.com or Fax: (34) 972 150 717. No phone calls.
The restaurant address is: C/ Cala Montjoi S/N, 17480 Roses, Eastern Spain. Oh, and by the way, the telephone number is (34) 972 150 457. For those with a GPS you will find El Bulli restaurant at +42° 15′ 28.80″, +3° 13′ 40.52″

My friends had called upon me unexpectedly and said they wanted to go for tapas and drink, and asked me if I would like to join them. Of course unless you are actually on your death bed you should leap at every opportunity to avail yourself of the excellent food available in Andalucia, so I immediately accepted the invitation. Walking down to the Capri tapas restaurant we were disappointed to find that they were closed, but I had a brainwave and suggested that we walk a little further down to the terminus of the new railway/tram station to the Meson Iberico la Estacion Restaurant Bar that another friend, viz., Pilar, had told me about. Tom was with us in his wheelchair so we were a little circumspect about the proposed visit to this restaurant as none of us had visited before. We need not have been anxious as entry was easy and the owner cleared a way for us and simply re-arranged the tables.
What was intended to be just a simple snack turned out to be a full-blown meal with entertainment thrown in. We had asked for a selection of fish and had a massive plate of salad and a plate of prawns as a starter, with all four of us tucking in with gusto. Later a plate of calamari and a plate of grilled fish were served with beautiful fresh bread. As a compliment to the food we were served an excellent house wine which was delicious and left a delightful flavour in the mouth. We had really only anticipated stopping for thirty minutes or so, but the time rushed by as we sat and chatted to the owner in Spanish with one of his companions talking to us in excellent English.
