Tapas Tour & OLDEST RESTAURANT in The WORLD in Madrid Spain

[@Auskbear]

"I had a bite of history tonight, and history had crispy skin and melted in my mouth." might be the best thing I've ever heard Mike say.

[@postersandstuff]

Manuel : "I know nothing , nothing......I am from Barcelona!"

[@famfeld]

His comments are really entertaining

[@julesshort9219]

San Miguel is more known as a touristy market. The food is not as good as what you might find in tapa restaurants around the city. The place however does look amazing.

[@samisarowarmarzan8081]

R u 4rom there?

[@morecringe89]

Actually that the best restaurant for tapas in Madrid.

[@QwertyUiop-bs2zr]

@@samisarowarmarzan8081 I am and he is right but I wouldn't say it has less quality but it has different recipes for foreigners that I have never tried of food that we usually eat here

[@nweee676]

@julesshort what do you recommend?

[@ah8yan]

I enjoyed the oysters there and the look of the place. For delicious food, I discovered else where. I just came back from Madrid.

[@jimmyy4667]

One thing I loved about Spain is how they don't use too much salt in their food.. By far one of the best countries to visit if you want to eat along with Greece.

[@iamannego]

WRONG☺️. SPANISH LOVE SALT THE REASON WHY THEIR IBERICO OR OTHER HAM AS WELL AS BACON AS REALLY SALTY

[@IronMetal]

Of course, salt is only necessary in a pinch, the flavour is in the ingredients, it's all about the quality and use of the ingredients

Hello from Singapore MIKE CHEN !!! I am Jimmy Yap - I was the one coming out of the Basement WINE CELLAR of BOTIN Restaurant ( towards end of this video at 23.50 in Dec 2018 !! ). Today is 8 October 2021 ! I went to the restaurant next door to jam with Pro Musicians with acoustic Spanish Guitars ! Jimmy Yap - Besame Mucho in KZbin

[@jimmyyap3828]

hi MIKE CHEN - A viewer of Ghib Ojisan ( also a full time KZbinr ) wrote in COMMENTS to ask if I was the one he spotted at end of this video - What a small world! I didn't have clue I was being videoed by you !!! I was in a video of GHIB on Soba at Coffeeshop

[@sebastian8596]

that restaurant has been around for 293 years, that's freaking amazing! makes me want to go.

[@kmaassociates7999]

We had home made, authentic Paella once in California. It was amazing ! I nearly fainted when the chef confided the recipe and warned me that the delicious spices would challenge my food budget ! Your narration and enthusiasm make us smile !

[@mjisaway7999]

Btw, I HIGHLY recommend San Fernando Market wchis is less known and less fancy but better and more local market than San Miguel. Check out especially its carniceria with a lot of good meats roasted for you and for good prices.

[@youngjarijari]

i hope you eat more things in Madrid, it has more things to offer than el mercado de san miguel

[@bigmanoncampes]

The oldest restaurant in the world is truly shows why it's still around. Very great pork and potatoes.

I used this video as reference for my dietary needs when I visited Madrid....Campano (calamari sandwich) and El Sur (prawns and pork cheeks) were AMAZING!! Especially El Sur....my friend who had been living in Madrid for 2 years had not heard of the place and thanked me for introducing it to him. Thanks Mike!

thank you Mike for sharing this video! I'm an American who went to university in Madrid. Its been 3 years since I've moved back to the state but your video just makes me want to go back. Cheer from NJ!

You and Simon& Martina at the same time in Spain! ❤This overload of amazing food will be the end of me..

[@kalenakeeper]

Exactly what I said lol.

[@cabezzadevaca4157]

You spent most of your time eating the equivalent of the spanish McDonald's and Burger King, and yes, they are good but you should spend more time checking the restaurants. This Madrid with the best in Europe.

[@Reprodestruxion]

Cabezza De Vaca da una lista ya que no di con ni una estando allá

[@cabezzadevaca4157]

@@Reprodestruxion No soy madrileño pero soy hijo de español. Quizás alguien de Madrid en esta lista podría darle algunas recomendaciones a Mike. All I can say is that, in Spain, eating in restaurants is not strictly the domain of the rich and well to do. In Spain, everybody goes to restaurants.

[@LifebyMikeG]

good stuff Mike! I just spent a month in Spain and hit up San Miguel, great spot! Saw the "sea monster" and everything. The absolute best thing I ate there, and honestly top 5 things in Spain was the Manzanilla olives from one of the olive bars, I can hardly explain how good it was, tasted like a pizza.

[@LifebyMikeG]

That being said nothing beats a Bocadillo with Jamon!

[@sebc2978]

how are you not verified

[@miamazingness]

YES! I love those olives. Next time I go back to Spain, I'm bringing an empty suitcase to pack with manzanilla olives, jamon chips, Fanta limón (NOT the same as our lemon Fantas), jamón serrano and ibérico (although I heard it's difficult to travel with), and like a five gallon jug of olive oil. XD

[@muttieh8321]

So glad ive made these videos a everyday lunchtime thing,makes it so much more enjoyable!

I watched Ainsley Harriot when he was there the food blogger he talked to suggested tourist's go to places that have menu del dia which are extremely reasonably priced food she also suggested that tourist's stay away from places that look like tourist traps or have menus written in English.

[@IceWolf_SsJ]

Yeah, the first place is more for tourists, we don't usually eat that kind of tapas, it's a bit luxury

10:03 I'm not a big pork fan, but I couldn't eat enough Jamon when I went to Spain. I always ate it by itself, so no wasted space with bread.

YEESSS I'm so excited that you ate at the ibérico ham place from Salamanca (the bread to jam ratio is typical of Spanish sandwiches)! I love Spanish food so much and lived in Salamanca. Madrid food can be very expensive, but glad you got to try a lot of interesting things. That FAIL tuna empanada made me sad, because one of my favorite things is Spanish tuna and tomato empanadas.

[@Postmanton]

Never heard Mikey be so critical in one single video! I like it, it's refreshing honesty.

[@donneone]

"The Motherland of the Suckling Pig!" Thank you Mikey for making that clear! Lechon Asado (litterally translated means baby piglet roasted) , both Spanish origin words btw, the preparation is known all over the world due to the fact that the Spanish explorers and colonists traveled the world and brought it and the pigs with them on those journeys. Style of cooking varies from place to place due to environment and availabe resources, be it on a spit over a wood or coal fire, in an horno or more modern type oven, buried in the ground on top of hot rocks and under a blanket of banana leaves, seasoned with local indigenous ingredients, just simply with salt or nothing at all, it''s still roasted pork. People from other countries claim theirs is the best and the original but they live in a vacuum and don't know the truth of history. If more people travel like Mikey or use the Internet like those watching his yt channel and if they are open to knowledge, then just maybe they'll learn some truths. Mikey this was another yummilicious food exploration. Thanks for taking us along!

[@rumblefish9]

I mean Anthony Bourdain said my city had the best roasted pig so I can't argue with the guy.

[@jasoninthehood9726]

Imagine caring enough about people saying their roasted pig is the best that you have to write an entire paragraph about something no one cares about lol Let me guess, your next comment will be a 32 page book about how Italian pizza is better than American pizza.
