Last day of the year we ticked off a foodie bucket list item. Late lunch at Sobrino de Botín, the oldest restaurant in the world still in operation, since 1725. The cellar of the restaurant has existed since 1590. Apparently the oven has been running continually for nearly 300 years.
The restaurant is famous for its roast suckling pig and roast lamb. As soon as we knew we were coming to Madrid this was on my “must do” list and I pre-booked months ago.
The best seating is in the cellar, which I requested on the booking and luckily my wish was granted.
The restaurant did not disappoint in any way, the atmosphere in the cellar is amazing, total architectural eye candy with exposed 16th century brick work everywhere. The food and table service was wonderful.
Sharon had the pork, Emma and I had the lamb. Don’t think we will need to eat for a few days now.
It's all about the coffee
