Vask ♥ ♥ ♥

 

El Bulli.

Two words, three syllables, and I was sold.

After all, the Ferran Adria-trained Chef Luis Gonzalez is the closest link I'll ever have to the now-defunct restaurant in Spain.

Of course, Luis also worked in Noma, El Celler de Can Roca, Mugaritz, and Arzak. These are currently the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 8th best restaurants IN THE WORLD. FYI.

I really dig the open kitchen concept and will make sure to fight for this table next time
so I can witness all the exciting molecular gastronomy action

Vask - basil and pepper infused rum, triple sec, apple liqueur, cider.
This was fierce!!!

Eivissa - chili infused vodka, coconut cream, fresh lime juice
Of course, I had to order something with coconut and cream. I found this too heavy and
wished I went for the signature drink, too.

 

 

We had the 7-course degustation.
