Spanish restaurants in the international elite!

Every year the Restaurant Magazine (UK) publishes S. Pellegrino list of the 50 best restaurants in the world.

For the 4th time in a row, the Catalan restaurant El Bulli and its chef Ferran Adrià come first in the list! And this year, El Celler de Can Roca by the Roca brothers moves from 26th to the 5th place after they just moved to their new and larger venue.

The Basq Country chefs are also present in the list with Andoni Luis Aduriz and his restaurant Mugaritz in the 4th position, and Juan Mari Arzak and his Arzak restaurant in the 8th place.

If you are one of the lucky ones that got a table this year in El Bulli (or one of those patient ones who waited 2 years in their waiting list...), since the trip to the restaurant is 3h drive, you should also take the opportunity to visit the area. My reccomendations are the Dalí Museum or the fishermen village of Cadaqués.




Booking a table in El Celler de Can Roca is easier (at least, it was so far!), and it's a great idea to explore the medieval town of Girona before visiting the restaurant.
Let me organize this special day for you!
