I`ll be surprised if El Bulli ever opens again , no business of that size could sustain such high loses for long.

It's served its purpose now though? I imagine Ferran Adria could charge a small fortune going around restaurants around the world, giving "consultancy". After all if Gordon Ramsay can earn his money this way...

The books, the documentaries, the product approvals etc etc

The restaurant was a loss-leader, just like the flagship store is for many brands

Go and study business management then you will realize.

Just because the restaurant has temporarily closed does not mean that his very successful business has closed so there is no reason to suggest that any creditors have not been paid.

I dont call loosing 500k a year very successful!

His overall business is far greater than one flagship restaurant just like Ramsay or Oliver.

Is it run as one business or several ? Both Ramsay and Oliver by there own admission have spent a lot of time on the verge of bankruptcy!

It does not need a degree in business management to understand that.

It appears it takes someone who has been in business to understand it !!

Have you any evidence of any unpaid creditors?

25 years in business tells me alls not well .
