they dont serve lunch anymore.

Sorry to read that they don't serve lunch anymore and that they close in mid October...that is probably going to mess me up for dining there.

I did read recently of a goo 1 star restaurant no far from there...not the same as dining at el Bulli!!!

As if there is not enough pressure for reservations, I will remind everyone that Ferran Adria mentioned here that El Bulli will be taking an extended sabbatical after the 2006 season.

Thinking of taking an extended sabbatical is more accurate than will be taking an extended sabbatical, John. It looked like an idea that has been around their minds for some time and they haven't found the proper time to do it. Who knows if 2006 will be that year, or if there will be such year.

True - My bad. Nevertheless, the fact that he would mention it on a public site indicates to me that the idea is under very serious consideration.

I recently e-mail Luis Garcia about lunch in October, 2006!

I have just received this response:

Apreciados Señores,

The demand for next year is extraordinary but I regret to inform you that it is impossible for us at this moment to attend reservations for 2006. If you contact us during September you can ask again about 2006 information. I must explain you that normally we will start management at the end of next season 2005, it means on mid October.

I must remark that normally we open from April till the end of September and only for dinner service.

We thank you for your interest.

Atentamente,

Luis García
