5 FAMOUS + HISTORIC Madrid restaurants (including Botin!)

[@spainrevealed]

Which of the 5 restaurants do you most want to visit. 🤔Let me know!

[@CameronClarkSpain]

Teberna Antonio! That place looks stunning

[@ziadirayene9879]

I love your videos James; but could you do a video of Halal places to eat? Because it's all jamon and beer in Madrid :( i think i'll stick to vegetarian and sea-food when i go there this summer if i can't find any Halal places :D

[@Christ-qk7or]

La Bola for the clay pots, Antonio for the wine vats, and Botin for its history!

[@GalaDefensa]

You should visit Zaragoza , I recommended a “tubo” tapas zone and the mitic restaurants “Calamar Bravo” and “El cachirulo”

[@foodglimpse1442]

Awesome video!! Your channel was part of the inspiration 🙏 to create our own channel where we showcase some tasty Spanish food! Keep up to good work man!

[@budluo]

Boy, I am sold. James, Spain should pay you for marketing the tourism in their country! I can literally imagine myself sitting in that Hemingway chair and eating and drinking. Cannot believe you have only 16k subscribers.

[@spainrevealed]

Thanks Bud! The subscriber count is rising... so that's good!

[@adrianmaciascatalina1040]

[@spainrevealed]

[@aestheticsbyjasmine940]

I agree!! Fantastic channel and host hope he gets millions of subs

[@jccalvente]

The important thing he do is to show in some videos not touristic parts of Spain. Here we receive each year about 85 million turists (and Spain is only 45 million inhabitants) but people usually come first time to a place and they keep repeating the same place all their life and trust me there are a lot of amazing places to visit in Spain like Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria ... (all are big regions) that have a lot of history and amazing food.

[@alexeiromanov2250]

Madrid is my favorite city in Europe! I lived in Madrid when I was a university student. God willing I will be there next year. I will definitely be visiting these restaurants. I have visited El Botin. Salutations from, USA. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@alexeiromanov2250]

I am back home (USA). We had dinner at El Botin twice: Our first night in Madrid (end of Feb) and our last night in Madrid (eaelt March). I can't wait to go back. My prayer are with the victims and their family of this Covin19.

[@amyrivers9792]

Another kiwi here. I love the history of the older parts of the world. You really did tell the stories of each place you showed us. I would love the mythical note to all the stories and like you my mind would wonder about all the people who had been to that place. Like you said we really don't have such a rich history because New Zealand is a young country in comparison. Thank you to you and your wife for sharing Spain with us, it's a country that I haven't visited but now I'd love to. I can't go as I'm terminally ill but your videos are the next best thing. Thank you

[@spainrevealed]

Thank you Amy for sharing this. I'm so sorry to hear about your illness. Lots of love from me and Yoly xxx

[@Emy53]

I have been to Spain and I will revisit, but in the mean time, I enjoy telling my friends and family that I have just returned from Spain via a virtual tour. Sometimes I just view the videos on a big screen television and I feel like I am right there with James and Yoli. I love Spain.

[@winghoh1271]

Toured Spain from North to South in 2016...love every thing Spain can offer. Tried the suckling pig in Botin as well as Segovia. Love your video ..thank you

I'm a emigrant from Madrid (Atocha street), and I hate you for the amount of nostalgia you make me feel. Keep loving my city, and love it for me too, it's the best.

Me encanta el hecho de que hable inglés de una forma tan clara, pero luego pase al castellano y parezca que ha nacido en Madrid. Si yo me lo encontrara un día paseando y le escuchara hablar, no pensaría que vino de otro lugar. Sobre el vídeo, es increíble lo bien hecho que está. Es difícil encontrar tal calidad en vídeos de esta índole. Enhorabuena :')

Hello from Oh Canada lol...just wanted to tell you...you have no idea how much i love watching your shows on Magical Spain, it makes my heart sing and do backflips lol, I'm a Chef I sold my last restaurant in 2017 it was my 9th, and now i cannot bring myself to create a new one here....you see the food we get here is not fit for humans or animals, i find it almost impossible to make a dish to be excellent because of the supplies we get here, I have had Spain on my mind for a long time, as i think it is one of the best clean food countries that we have, so yes i think we will make the trip in the fall to visit Magical Spain...once again thank you and your lovely lady for showing us this Dreamland..all the best Chef Ninja

We feel as if we know you already.... and It warms us to see the city and people where our daughter will be living...Thank you! We will be sure to find Devour when we visit as I am sure you will be able to provide a first class education of Madrid and Spain, we love knowing all the “local secret spots” that provide the chance to meet people and really get to know a place.... thanks again and we have a lot more uploads to review!

[@spainrevealed]

Thanks ma!

[@MsMariaSierra]

I have been binge-watching your videos for a few weeks and came across this one. On our last trip to Spain in 2019 I made sure to make a reservation for Botin 6 months before! I celebrated my birthday with our granddaughter, husband and friends from Madrid. After ordering and trying to do justice to an entire suckling pig, we were given a tour of the entire restaurant - top to bottom! Our waiter had been working at Botin for 30 years. What a beautiful experience. They brought me a cake, sang and brought me a gift of their sangria pitcher! What a special day! Thank you James and Yoly for bringing such beautiful memories to mind! Saludos desde Orlando, Florida.

[@Emy53]

I love all your videos of Spain. I began watching in mid 2019, because I was preparing my itinerary for my visit to Tenerife and then Andalusia area. I learned a lot from your videos, and I loved it when you paired up with Yoli. I had a wealth of information with me during my 18 days in Spain. Thank you for all you so. I really appreciate you and Yoli.

[@mistreated]

Fantastic video. Thanks for the tour/history lesson. It's always appreciated. We've been to all of them except, Taberna Antonio Sánchez and Casa Ciriaco. They're on our list for next year. We love the others, especially, La Bola. Also, it was great to meet you and Yoly a couple of weeks ago at La Posada De La Villa. You were so gracious. And Yoly, so, so charming. What a pleasure it was to have a minute with the both of you. See you next time. Adios and thanks again for all the videos you share with us.

Bravo James and Yoly. Another wonderful video. Great that you are impressing the locals.

[@rfcgong1]

I have been to the Casa Botin years ago. I organized a group of 17 to give my wife a surprise birthday party. My tour guide had the Casa Botin arrange a cake and table for our group. We were on the 3rd floor. The staff was amazing and very helpful. We are from the US, and when we started singing the happy birthady song, another group from Brazil started singing it in Portuguese, and another group from Japan started singing in Japanese. It was such a festive evening, that I ordered Champange for those tables too. A fun dinner and evening. Walking down the stairs I polked my head into a room full of roasted sugkling pigs. What a sight.

[@williamelgin6873]

Loved this video. I have eaten at both La Bola and Botin. La Bola is less touristy. Botin can be full of tourists at certain times, but it is authentic. I like pork, but not a big fan of cochinillo. The roast baby lamb is equally excellent. I am glad you mentioned Segovia. It's a great day trip from Madrid, easy train ride. Historic town, great for walking. My favorite place to eat there is El Duque. I ate there the first time when I was in grad school in 1975 and my parents came for my Thanksgiving holiday. Best Thanksgiving meal ever. (I don't like turkey.) It's an old, family run restaurant like Botin. The long time owner/manager took care of us that day. Very simple meal of soup, roast lamb with potatoes and lettuce, tomato and onion salad, bread and red wine. My most recent visit was in the fall of 2018. The owner's daughter now runs the operation since his passing. She was going through the dining rooms greeting all the patrons. When I related my memories of her father during my first visit, she nearly came to tears. I hope to get back there again soon!

Fantastic - I’m glad!

[@gorklud]

I'll not be in Spain until October but it is very difficult to watch these videos without getting hungry.....alas, I have one problem. what am I going to do with my vegetarian wife while I'm enjoying my tapas, etc. In addition, you don't mention the beer available in the various tapas places. Especially, in an earlier video ,you stated Spain was a beer drinking country. You're a fantastic ambassador for Spain. Cheers

[@spainrevealed]

Thank you! There are lots of veggie options in tapas bars. Google it and you’ll find a post by Devour Madrid food tours on it. And generally there is only one beer available - but people drink a lot of it

[@hansk56]

Your videos are top. Learned a lot about the food, the wines, sherry's, vermouth, tapas. I am visiting Valencia in two weeks but Madrid will be next on my list to visit. Thank you for all the tips - my stay in Valencia will be more enjoyable now.

Thank you so very much James and Yoli for your FABULOUS videos. I only had a couple of days in Madrid but with your help I had a superb time and what I'd like to think a real taste of the city. It was my first visit but won't be the last. Huge congratulations to you both on the new addition to your family; love, fun, happiness and health to you all.

Keep up the great work with these videos you two. I use to work there in and around Madrid 26 years ago, building wood frame homes with materials ship from here in Canada. I miss it there, but your videos really take me back in time to when I was working there. I was there for only 6 months but the experience was priceless as are the memories.

[@tonydeltablues]

James and Yoli - this is just wonderful! You weave together the history and the current cuisine with great depth, passion and sophistication. I know this is high praise, but I just love your videos: they are miles ahead in quality compared to may I've seen. I hope to get to Madrid, and, perhaps this boy form the NW of England can experience a Devours tour! Meanwhile, I live it vicariously as I watch. I'm of to get a copy of Don Quixote :-) Muchas Gracias Tony

[@paull.5013]

I really enjoy watching your videos, James Blick, and your wife's contributions. I am soon going to Madrid again -- it will be my third time in that amazing city. And I am taking another tapas tour there as well. The real reason I'm commenting though is to say a couple of things about Botin. About two years ago I went there. And, it is clearly a BIG tourist trap nowadays. I was by myself and the floor I was on was mainly Asian (Chinese?) tourists. The food was okay -- I did not get the pig, as I don't eat much pork -- but, of course, one must go there if visiting Madrid. I didn't go to Botin the second time I visited Madrid (and probably won't again on my third trip this upcoming May). However, the thing I most wanted to say is this: You mentioned Hemingway's "For Whom The Bell Tolls." Right before going to Botin I bought "The Sun Also Rises" -- but got it in Spanish, which is "Fiesta." It is in that book, which is mainly about the festival at Pamplona, in which Hemingway, er...Jake Barnes, and his love interest eat in Botin! It's the second to last scene in the book. So, while sitting in Botin, and eating, I turned to that passage and read about Hemingway a Lady Ashley eating in Botin, right before they head out to take a carriage ride along Gran Via. So, if someone wants to get a bit of the history of the place there, they should read Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises." Well, that's it. Again, love you guys' videos about tapas bars in Madrid!

I also ate there 48 years ago (while at Air force base Torrejon) and have been back many times - always outstanding.

@@cynthiastevens1626 I was at Torrejon also between 1973 and 1976. I was on a KC-135Q flight crew and we went there TDY about once a year and stayed for around a month. One of my favorite places to go to.

[@cynthiastevens1626]

@@oldnavcat figured you were military. My husband and I were both docs at the base from 1970-73 so just passed each other there. I’m sure you knew of Casa Paco which was popular with military as well.

[@oldnavcat]

@@cynthiastevens1626 The name is very familiar, but I can't place it. I vaguely remember a barbeque place outside The town of Torrejon that was great too. Also enjoyed great food at Hostel del Cardinale in Toledo. The first time I tasted gazpacho Toledano. Loved it and make it myself to this day! And of course the tascas. So much to love in the area!

[@cynthiastevens1626]

Know the restaurant in Toledo. I, as well, learned gazpacho from our live in “nanny” and make it every summer as my specialty. Keep in touch with our nanny on FB. She was 18 and now quite matronly, but lovely. Good “talking to you” and remembering Madrid and food.

I am Nuyorican so those who don't know that is- my parents were born on the island of Puerto Rico but migrated to the mainland of the USA. I was born and raised in NY and while in college in NYC, I wanted to know more about my culture so I took a semester about the history of the island but little of Spain also since it was the mother country and my professor told me the story about the Pork added to many dishes to see if the European Jews had converted to Catholicism, so yes it is true.

We ended up in a very convincing, but TERRIBLE tourist trap a few blocks down. The food was horrible. And we could have had COCIDO! Mala suerte... Next time. Loved this video!
