El Bulli is a restaurant located outside of Barcelona that is consistently ranked as one of the top 3 restaurants in the world. I wasn’t able to get a reservation at El Bulli.
However, just outside of Seville is the El Bulli Hotel (http://www.elbullihotel.com/benazuzaweb_eng.html) which has a restaurant that serves the all time best dishes ever created by El Bulli. I did eat there.

The tasting menu was 16 courses with no option for a wine pairing. The courses were:
- Almond fizz
- Spherical green olive
- Fried baby fish with lemon
- Mimetic peanut
- Quicoguaca
- Iberian ham baguette
- Natural razor shell
- Deconstructed omelet potatoes

This was without question the best dinning experience of my life!
