Sobrino de Botín

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

I'm clear-eyed about the tourists. But an oven lit continuously since 1725, where Goya is said to have washed dishes, is a piece of living history you eat inside of.

The Guinness-certified oldest restaurant in the world, open since 1725, its wood-fired oven never extinguished. Touristy, yes — but the history (and the roast suckling pig) are real.
