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.
Friends in the video:

Sobrino de Botín or Restaurant Botín (goo.gl/maps/pt...) 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.

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.

Seguro que a un japonés le encantaría comer angulas (anguilas-bebe). El sabor es delicioso. Es uno de los platos más elitistas y caros de la cocina española, tanto que incluso los españoles apenas las comemos. Sólo en celebraciones especiales y sólo en los mejores restaurantes. Si son frescas, pueden costar unos 3.000 €/kilo. Congeladas son algo más baratas.

Madrid and the Spanish lifestyle grows on you. None of this sitting around and watching the boob tube endlessly like we do here in the states. And there is so much to see and do. Yes I have been there twice and the people are dead honest. How do I know??? The first time we were there my wife left her purse in the taxi. We were leaving next day and were in a panic. We went to the concierge at our hotel on the Gran Via and told them to call the taxi company and they laughed and said which one we have hundredes, OMG. We were cooked. Ten minutes later we get a call that the cabbie is downstairs with her purse!!! He saw it and immediately came over to our hotel. He would not take any money !!!! We has to literally force a 20 Euro note into his hand. Story two. We were on our way to a cooking class. It seemed to take a bit. We paid the cabbie and he said that he turned off the meter so as not to charge us extra, when he made a wrong turn. GPS problem. What more can i say. They have our hearts. Embrace them like we did.

Ate there about 10 years ago, the restaurant exceeded its history and hype. Not living on it’s past history. Of course it is popular with the tourists but is not a tourist trap. They also prepare a sucking lamb that is also amazing too. We had one order of the pork and lamb. If I remember correctly the baby eels cost around 100 euros 10 years ago. They are so rare and such a delicacy that I’ve seen places make fake eels like they make the fake crabmeat.

Those baby eels are called "angulas" in spanish, which are as the translation says: "baby eels". The price is very expensive because they are in huge demand in Asia, where prices are even higher. In Spain, they have a "supermarket version" called "gulas", which are made of surimi, and also prepared the same way with garlic and few chilies. The flavor of "gulas" is also delicious, for a 1% of the price of the "angulas", even if the flavor is not half as good as the real thing, it's still a good deal for non-rich people like me. 🤣

[@marisolsantos3024]

Una cosa son las angulas (las crias de las anguilas) y otra totalmente distinta y sin ninguna comparación puesto que es un preparado industrial al que le han dado forma pero que está hecho con surimi. Son caras porque la pesca total en España es de 1200/1500 kilos al año y ultimamente se pescan alrededor de 700 kilos, el precio medio por kilo de 600 a 1.200 €, una ración oscila entre 80/100 gr.

Surely it must be morally reprehensible and feel wrong to order and indulge in suckling pig to even the most casual of meat eaters. A very young piglet just born into this world, snatched away from its mother while still feeding from her nipples, to be slaughtered for human consumption. Think about that, now change the piglet to a baby...Shame on you Mark! You have no compassion, empathy or morals! 😡

You're always a joy to watch your videos my friend. The way you enjoy food is one of a kind. Keep making those delicious videos.

[@bigmurff]

Bro a restaurant like that is legendary. Like they say, if it ain't broken don't fix it. They perfected their menu and will keep making the same great tasting food for as long as they are around. Have to add this place on my bucket list for sure!

Mark I started my bucket list after watching this video to eat at Botin! Wow!!

[@DR-bp1yu]

I really envy your ability to consume copious amounts of food. I wish I could handle the amount of food you so well digest. But I do live vicariously through you. Spain has delicious food and an amazing culture. I'd just love to go there

[@jbpost52]

Amazing video Mark and company. As shown there is a better way to raise and prepare food.

I love Jeffrey. He is very passionate about food. His big fried platter video with Mark is one of the videos that I occasionally search and watch.

[@medic5363]

I’ve had the honor of eating here a few times with my father as a child and now as an adult. Everything on the menu is to die for especially the cochinillo (my daughters began to cry at this moment)

Hi. I'll tell you something about this restaurant. Francisco de Goya, the great painter was dishwasher in Casa Botin just arrived in Madrid.

[@psionic6126]

I have never seen a more beautiful restaurant! It's an eye opnener because you begin to realize there is no need for 3 Michellin Stars, fancy, modern clean interior or molecular kitchen!

[@ThailandThomas]

Wow, that is incredible. Just amazing place. Would love to eat there, 300 years old. The history. Great video mark!

[@mariaana9129]
