Spanish super-chef Ferran Adrià today opens a new restaurant in Barcelona.
The legendary culinary wizard of El Bulli fame is launching tapas bar 41 Degrees in the Catalan capital together with his brother Albert.
The menu at the new restaurant will offer dishes similar to those at El Bulli - including crèpe of Peking duck and marshmallow clouds of lime and cocoa. However, unlike El Bulli the average spend is around €50 and there is a no reservations policy so expect to find queues.
"I am sure this is going to happen but we will see," Adrià told Spanish news service The Reader.
"At 41 you won't be able to make a reservation because you can't say to someone who comes in at 7pm that at 9pm they have to leave. The concept is a bit new and we will see how we get on."
Additionally the Adrià brothers also plan to open a sit-down tapas restaurant in Barcelona next month. Called Tickets, it will be a 50-seat restaurant and will take reservations.
Last year, Adrià announced that he would close El Bulli for two years in 2012. On reopening in 2014 the iconic restaurant will run as a non-profit cooking foundation offering scholarships to the world's most talented chefs and providing a place for free thinking and kicking around ideas.
