El Bulli to Close

Triple-Michelin star holder Ferran Adria is to close his award-winning restaurant, El Bulli, for two years.

The chef, famous for his 'molecular gastronomy' techniques (though he himself denounces the term), will not open El Bulli in 2012 and 2013. He has cited the high pressure of running the restaurant that is widely regarded as the best in the world.

But in reality, the likelihood of you ever getting a table at El Bulli was never really that high in the first place - 125 people apply for every seat at the restaurant.
