MADRID, SPAIN - Welcome to Madrid, Spain, home to the oldest continually open restaurant in the world, since 1725. Tonight I’m going with my friends Jeffrey and Hsien to go eat some of their signature dishes, and I can’t wait to share this legendary meal with you right now.

Sobrino de Botín or Restaurant Botín (goo.gl/maps/ptRTA3m1diPJ1rmi9) is not only the oldest restaurant in Spain, but the oldest restaurant in the world, operating since 1725. They specialize in Spanish food and particularly roast suckling pig, which they’ve been serving ever since they opened. What’s also amazing is that their stone oven fire is never extinguished, it’s been flaming and never gone out ever since they’ve been open.
We started off our meal with a few sides and beginning dishes, some baby eels - a delicacy in Spain in olive oil, garlic, and a few dried chilies. They were excellent, although very expensive. Next we had a few vegetable based dishes, some beans with jamon and mushrooms topped with olive oil and garlic. After that I had a chance to see in the horno or the oven room the preparation of the suckling pig. It’s roasted for approximately 2 hours, basted with a sauce to increase the crispiness of the skin. The suckling pig is served in a massive clay boat sized tray and typically served onto your own individual plate. The suckling pig is delicious, and I especially enjoyed all that meat broth at the bottom of the pan.
Finally for dessert we had a milk cake and the highlight was a Spanish cheesecake.
Although Sobrino de Botín or Restaurant Botín, being the oldest restaurant in the world is a tourist attraction, they have maintained the quality of their food and I think it was well worth a visit, especially for any food lover, it’s truly a landmark pilgrimage destination.
Total price - €543.89 ($552.46) for 4 adults. The eels were very pricey, everything else was reasonable.

Mark!! I was the tall Asian girl who said hi in front of the restaurant! Thanks for taking a pic with me! The food there was amazing, and let me tell you a funny story: one of the waiters who took our check at the end of the night gave my family my share of the food for free 🤣!
spain, italy, france... Top 3 of the Europe countries i wanna visit just for the WINE and FOOD culture....
I’m a 30yr old guy and weigh 130Ibs. I use to weight 120Ibs by running everyday but I haven’t ran in months. I aspire to be skinny like you again, and have started running again, thank you
It’s hard to have a restaurant open for 3 years. You become an icon if they get to see 30 years, but 300? It becomes a world destination, a culinary wonder. Love this place!
Hi Mark, I'm glad you enjoyed one of the wonders of our city, "Sobrino de Botin". I'll tell you something, the restaurant's oven has worked without ever turning off since the place began operating, almost 300 years ago. It's been running for so long that if it were turned off, the stones in the oven would break as they cooled. In fact, during the pandemic lockdown, while the restaurant was closed, an employee came every day, with special permission, to light a fire and keep the oven warm.
The wonderful thing about Spanish food is that it can be simple, sophisticated and unpretentious all at once. They appreciate the intrinsic qualities of the produce and meats and don't try and transform it too much. Even the vegetarian food is luscious. They celebrate the terroir and climate and have great table service.
You put your heart in every video and I appreciate it. But please please please let’s all reconsider for a moment. Is the consumption of a diminished population of so young European eels or a baby pig that hasn’t lived a full month of its poor life, a tradition worth admiring?
Who else noticed his eyes turning red while eating all good fatty food! I hope you are in good health mark
The eels are expensive because they are an endangered species. Over fishing and disruption of feeding and spawning sites are the main culprits.
Poor baby piggies 😅
This restaurant has been operating since before the country I live in Australia was founded in 1788. Mindblowing and the roast pig and baby eels looked amazing.
I remember Andrew Zimmern covered this restaurant, at least ten years ago and the restaurant is still going strong, serving amazing cuisine for hundreds of years. Keeping the European tradition of meat perfection. Absolutely puts a smile to my face, another great Video Mark
Eating at Restaurante Botin has been one of my top dining experiences! I dined upstairs and had a multi course dinner including the roasted suckling pig and the best gazpacho as well. Afterwards I went to a flamenco show and finished the evening with churros and the thickest hot chocolate ever. Madrid did not disappoint! Thanks for bringing back this wonderful memory.
Wow 300 years!! I watched Anthony Bourdain in this place. Mark Weins you is amazing!! Kisses from Brasil 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 Spain is a wonderful country!
Did you catch the part @
This man let me have glimpses of places and foods which I may never witness in my entire lifetime. Really those old wine bottles gave me goosebumps. Was kind of a time traveling for me. Thank you Mark 🙂 🙂 Lots of Love from India ❤️❤️
The most interesting culinary experience can happen anywhere in a road of Northern Spain. Just stop by where the locals eat and you can have a menu of the day (Menu del dia) for 10 to 15 dollars that will blow your mind. Everything is fresh and there is not any of the processed foods that we are so used to in the States.
We lived in Madrid, before we moved to Kuala Lumpur and we have such good memories of the city, the people and the FOOD over there. Every day is a feast for the taste buds in Madrid. But I feel ashamed to say, we never went to Botin….. We did however have amazing cochinillo asado, the roasted suckling pig and the other lamb version, the lechazo asado, the most iconic dishes in the area. And the wines….. ❤
I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who thinks that Madrid is of a stunning beauty! You'll often hear other cities and areas in Spain being mentioned and praised, but hardly ever Madrid. I just managed to watch the video to the end, and, the deserts, oh my god, I'd be rolling myself in it, if I could.
The roast lamb at Sobrino de Botín is out of this world. This restaurant is a true Spanish gem :)
