Botín

Ernest Hemingway mentions the cochinillo asado (roast suckling pig ) at Botin in the 'Sun Also Rises' and yes it is incredible... (If it's good enough for Ernest Hemingway, it's good enough for me!)

Fun fact: this is one of the oldest restaurants in the world. Mind your head if you're tall. The archways are designed for ppl in the 19th century

The Cochinillo is the best you will get in Madrid, almost as good as in Segovia. Beside the place is the oldest restaurant in the world, totally worth it.

Despite reservation times on website, if you call, you can often get a better time. Also reservations available last minute, and you can occasionally do a walk-in without one.

Waiters were first class . After RM beat Altleti at Bernabeau, waiters overheard put discussion and several dropped by to discuss footy. Fantastic good fun. Offered free shots at the end.

Probably the best lamb I have ever eaten. Soft, melts in your mouth, tasty. Lack of seasoning is so you enjoy the flavor of the meat and not be overwhelmed by other things. Super traditional recipe.

World's oldest restaurant according to Guinness ! Go here for lunch to say you've been but scope out more refined, less touristy places for dinner . Food still good and old timey atmosphere.

oldest restaurant in the world. suckling pig and baby lamb are really good, not very expensive at all. remember to book few days in advance, there's no way to walk in with never ending long queue.

Lamb was amazing. Unfortunately we could not try suckling pig . It is easy to find a table in the evening. You should try tarte botin.

the resraurant is a great experience. supposedly its the oldest running restaurant in the world. the cave underground is bringing you back in history.

We had just one thing in mind: the roast suckling pig . It’s not at all cheap , but as someone said before it’s well worth the expense . Service was very good, which is hard to see sometimes in Spain.

Simple straightforward fare. Go for the pork . Sides and tapas are ok, but the pork is king here. The cheese marsacapone dessert is a revelation!

The world's oldest restaurant has outlasted all other for a reason. The suckling pig and the lamb are amazing. Check out the wine cellar in the basement .

Rioja from the Amaren is absolutely a gem, pairing the Squid rice and the signature Roast suckling pig . The service is world class .

Really good food :) expensive of course, and some of the menu translations are confusing, but great for such a touristy place. Try the squid in its own ink and the escalope. Sangria is probs don Simon

The oldest restaurant in the world, expensive , but quality is quality!! It also has the guiness record of the oldest restaurant in the world!!

Baby squid in squid ink is amazing and a must try. Mop up the ink with some rice and bread

Fantastic clams Botin, suckling pig and baby lamb . Superb service.

Garlic soup with egg - awesome. Better than pork ;)

Wonderful and amazing - the oldest restaurant of the world, must visit! very simple design and great dishes! Try the red wine Marques, sole fish , fish soup was fantastic!

Thanks to the tip on foursquare, we made a reservation after 10 and got to be lucky enough to enjoy not only good food but also even better music . It makes just fantastic atmosphere!

I love it. very tasty plates, the menu is very rich. They have traditional spanish food . I will definitely come again. prices are also affordable .

Only avail res was 11:15p, we were the last ones there but the servers were great, some rando live quartet came through to sing for tips, theres an old wine cellar u can check out. Sirloin is huge

Dating from 1725, Botín claims to be the oldest restaurant in the world. Suckling pig is the traditional specialty. Read more

This restaurant is very quiet and cozy . The roast suckling pig is fantastic and well worth the expense . Everything was great except that the band came around to the tables asking for money.

suckling pig is the best, juiciest piece of pork i've ever had! pass on the white asparagus and shrimp is too salty. but come for the pork it's worth it. sangria is nice too

Listed by guinness world records as the world's oldest restaurant , try roasted lamb , it was perfect..

Oldest restaurant in the world! Best sangria i've ever had. Their famous Suckling pig was delicious. Friendly staff . Awesome experience. Highly recommended!!

Rally nice and authentic atmosphere. The food is really good. Definitely try the roast suckling pig !

This restaurant has a long history, good service , albeit rushed, excellent ambiance, a very good wine cellar but the food, especially the famous suckling pig is a bit overrated.

Reserve a table in the wine cellar downstairs. Don't miss the gazpacho and roast suckling pig .

The oldest restaurant in Europe.Specialitυ of restaurant is piglet.Prefer to sit downstairs of the restaurant !Its a little bit expensive but it worths it

Quality over quantity. The food is awesome especially roast suckling pig . Thumbs up for the food and service.

Very efficient service little waiting time for meal. Nice to sit in the oldest restaurant in the world.

One of the best restaurants I've ever visited. Ask for a tour to the kitchen, it's amazing. The fixed menu highly recommended.

All the mistic history. A place unic in the World. Try conchinillo and clama.

Perfect service, very good value of money, best sangria in Madrid . A must see place for a foodie.

Great restaurant . They make the best cochinillo and the ambiance is amazing especially when theusicians come in to play some music .

Delicious foods, nice drinks. You can eat the best Lamb in here. I advise you to eat BABY LAMB

Thanks AJ video referring to Guiness World Record of oldest restaurant ;) surely pata negra to try..

Try Botin Salad as a starter if you like fresh asparagus , have artichoke with ham !! Weak by the glass wine list but fantastic food& atmosphere...

Oldest restaurant with great decoration and wood floors. Food is good but their famous suckling pig is not as good as expected.

Cochinillo is a must. Expensive but a true gourmand experience

Definitely have the suckling pork , the lamb ha good but not as good as the the pork .

Supposedly the oldest restaurant 'in the world' do NOT miss making a reservation here if you're in the city . Come after 10 & you'll even get a performance from musicians who come to visit

Definitely worth the visit. The counchillo asado is delicious, sangria a great pairing, dessert is also great.

Great restaurant to spend the evening with your beloved

The earliest restaurant in the world!!!!good food good prices !!! A place u have to visit!!!

Chipirones en su tinta - really tasty and jamon iberico de bellota - the best you can find.

Oldest restaurant in the world !! The roast pork Botin is unbelievable ;)
