Opened in 1725, this restaurant was immortalized in Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises" when he used it as the setting for the close of his novel. It has been named the oldest restaurant by the "Guinness Book of Records." Much of the decor dates back centuries to the original restaurant. House specialties include roast suckling pig and roast Segovian lamb. Top off your meal with strawberries and whipped cream. METRO: La Latina or Ópera   (© 10Best)

All four of us thought this restaurant was excellent for service and food and one of the best we have been to in Madrid since arriving 3 months ago. The clincher was when the bill came, it was only 44 euros each for 3 courses and a digestive plus a bottle of good red wine and 2 bottles of water. We would all recommend it and go again.

I never miss a chance to eat at Botin in Madrid - especially before visiting as many "caves" (underground wine bars) as possible on the same street (which are also excellent tapas appetizer starting spots as well. I ALWAYS get the suckling pig. Take a look into the kitchen for a view of the smiling faced suckling pigs lined up on plates in preparation for cooking..... UNIQUE! Botin is old and fun and shouldn't be missed! A Mystery Traveler GL favorite!
