Dos Palillos

Life at ElBulli shaped our way of thinking, understanding, cooking and the utmost respect for raw materials. The “tapa” concept as a way of understanding gastronomy. The simplicity –within complexity– a reflection of our cuisine. Asian cuisine, our challenge. Study and work, our way. Dos Palillos gastronomy is a creative cuisine, based on Asian gastronomy; mainly from Japan, China and Southeast Asia. Asia and Spain: two different cultures that use chopsticks to eat. Orientals use them as tongs to pick up small portions of food; here, in the bars the toothpick is the king of “tapas” different in shape but similar in use; they symbolize the itinerary between the dish and the mouth; two pure, basic wooden utensils, minimal in design, primitive and modern at the same time. A coincidence but also one more excuse to join two gastronomic cultures.
