The oldest restaurant in the world is the Spanish Botìn Restaurant.

This restaurant has been in business since 1725. It has been operated here for 293 years and has never closed. It is certified by Guinness World Records as the restaurant with the longest continuous operation.

Botìn restaurant does not have any exquisite cuisine. It is most famous for a seemingly ordinary plate of roast suckling pig. But this roasted suckling pig has a very unique flavor. Herbs containing salt and sweet paprika are wrapped in the skin, then onions and garlic are added, and finally it is poured with brandy and tarragon and baked in the oven, with wintergreens. Oak is used as firewood to add a unique fragrance.

The roasted pork skin is crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, and has a unique aroma. Even royal family members, Hollywood stars, etc. come here because of it. The core of roast suckling pig is the oven. The oven of this ancient restaurant has been burning continuously for 293 years. The fire has never been extinguished and it is the treasure of the restaurant here.

Restaurant Features:

The recipes here are all handed down from our ancestors when they started running this restaurant. They have always retained the flavor of these recipes, so the taste of the dishes is the same as when it first opened. It's exactly the same now. Every chef must learn the cooking skills that have been handed down and then pass them on to the next generation. Many new restaurants these days boast exquisite cuisine, with everything carefully designed.

We can’t do this here, but they will serve you heart-warming roast suckling pig, delicious potatoes and high-quality Spanish ham, those time-honored flavors that have been passed down for generations.

Below the restaurant is an underground wine cellar that is older than the restaurant and has been in existence since 1590. The dilapidated brick walls and primitive arches all around tell ancient stories. It is certain that these wines brewed in history must also be treasures in wine.

The person in charge of the restaurant said that it is important to preserve the tradition and the taste of the dishes. The ancient methods cannot be lost, and he hopes that all of this can be preserved. Even if the guests continue to change, the menu and taste of the restaurant will remain unchanged for a long time. It will never change.
