It Was Delicious While It Lasted

Plu and I first learned about elBulli, the extraordinary  restaurant made famous by the innovative chef, Ferran Adrià, when he was interviewed by Charlie Rose in 2009.

Now Tempus Fugit is moored in Gruissan we are only a couple of hours from where elBulli is located, 30 kms south of the French border with Spain on the Mediterranean coast in the town of Roses.  We had thought we might go and at least look even though the restaurant is booked a year in advance and reservations are nearly impossible to get without someone who can give you an in. Now Ferran has announced that the restaurant will be closing in July 2011 for at least two years, we will have to make any visit quickly after we arrive in Gruissan next June.
