Here, even the top restaurants use the traditional reservation system. Sure, some places have months long waiting lists, but still, the system is somewhat accessible (I suppose those with a lot of influence\/ fame can get around it as well, just like everywhere else).<\/p>\n<p>Back in the day, when the original Bulli was still open (not this US copycat, but the original one in Spain), I tried to get reservations, especially because at the time I was traveling to Barcelona quite regularly for work. I was always, always late which was somewhat expected as the place only opened six months per year. I suppose I could have tried to exert some nepotist influence through some of my customers (some of whom were &ldquo;influential&rdquo;), but if anything, my commitment to fine dining is only surpassed by my laziness.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Also, the original Bulli was nowhere near as expensive as this US version. I won&rsquo;t say it was &ldquo;cheap&rdquo;, but it was considerably better priced than restaurants of similar quality in Northern Europe (Netherlands, Germany, etc.).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>14kgoldnyc replied to your quote: The 29-course El Bulli dinners cost $365 for food&hellip; LIGHTWEIGHTS.
