Greatest... I'm having a hard time with what that means.
I'll pick this one as it was one of the most impressive I have been in as far as depth and breadth of history and culinary. We sat for dinner and ate from 11PM until 2AM.
Restaurante BOTIN (El más antiguo del mundo)
Sobrino de Botin
Quote:
Sobrino de Botin (Calle de Cuchilleros 17, 28005 Madrid, Spain) is a restaurant established in 1725. It is listed by the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest eatery currently in Madrid and the rest of the world. Part of the restaurant's folklore has it that a young Francisco Goya worked there as a waiter whilst he was waiting to get a place at Madrid's "Royal Academy of Fine Art").
The Sobrino and its speciality of cochinillo asado ("roast suckling pig") are mentioned in the closing pages of Ernest Hemingway's novel, The Sun Also Rises. Its other signature dish is sopa de ajo (an egg, poached in chicken broth, and laced with sherry and garlic): a favourite pick-me-up with Madrileño revellers.
