ABOUT THE RESTAURANT

As already announced and officially became the main meeting of our country kitchen, "Madrid Fusion", the partial cause of this closure is to conduct a new restaurant whose design is by architect Enric Ruiz Geli. (link below). The main cause is the creation of "elBullifoundation."

Revolutionary Spanish eatery El Bulli is a Michelin three-star restaurant in Roses, Spain (two hours northeast of Barcelona); each night, it serves a tasting menu of 30+ courses, prepared by over 40 chefs, to a single seating of up to 50 guests. For the current season, its last before transforming into a culinary academy, over two million requests were received for the 8,000 available seats. Head chef Ferran Adrià, who took over the restaurant in 1987 and instituted the tradition of yearly developmental sabbaticals, has become the leading inspiration for avant-garde cuisine worldwide, alternately referred to as a mad scientist or Salvador Dali of the kitchen.


"I feel liberated. That's it. The people already believe the project and see that there is a bluff." Ferran Adrià a bombshell dropped last year in Madrid by announcing that the merger would close as Bulli restaurant and change of direction. "We will return in 2014 with another format," he said. There will be two sabbaticals. Madrid Fusion 2011, the news has been told, in words and pictures, elbullifoundation "a global creative project done for people here."
