Sobrino de Botín

Centre · World's oldest restaurant (1725) · $$$

I'm honest with first-timers: it's full of tourists. But eating roast suckling pig from an oven lit since 1725 is a real experience, if you go in with eyes open and a booking.

The Guinness-certified oldest restaurant in the world, since 1725. Touristy and not cheap — but if you want one 'occasion' meal steeped in history, this is the defensible splurge.
