Restaurante Botin Review

Restaurante Sobrino de Botin is known as the oldest restaurant in the world (established in 1725). The sentence on the restaurant window makes this restaurant worth the money: it is the oldest restaurant in the world that has been in operation since 1725, and the old stove used for roasting suckling pig dates back to the 18th century. Hemingway's signature is written on the restaurant window. ​

The burrata was especially fresh and fragrant, the wagyu tartare was tender, and the roasted ox eye was even more fragrant. The tuna and squid rice were also good. I also had a large black truffle pizza~ The roast suckling pig was great just by eating its crispy skin! The meat inside was also very tender!!

Gazpacho is a vitamin-rich dish. In Spain, each region has its own version of gazpacho, but tomatoes and green peppers are constant in this dish. Cucumbers and onions bring freshness and character to this gazpacho seasoned with olive oil, which quenches thirst and refreshes.

The BOTIN restaurant is divided into three floors of the upper, middle and lower building structure. At the gate, you can see the architectural facade model of 100 years ago. It is also the architectural structure of the restaurant at the beginning of the opening of 1725. It is amazing that the internal facilities have been changed for so many years. Especially the old kitchen has been used to this day. Another selling point of BOTIN restaurant is the dining area in the basement, which is converted from the cellar and has a retro charm. This floor is well treated with underground exhaust and has no boredom. If you eat on this floor, it seems that you can think of the BOTIN restaurant that opened in the 18th century. People dine at the time the scene. When you enter the restaurant, each object is extremely delicate and has a certain sense of history , old-fashioned copper cash register, wooden storage cabinet of the bar, slanted ladder to the basement, wine cabinet in the basement, the manager also made an exception to open the underground wine cellar for our Haonan International Travel Team to visit, Full of historical and vicissitudes, it is said that a wine called piniseria in the cellar has been sleeping here for 79 years, and there are currently about 100 bottles in the Spanish national storage, and there are about 65 bottles in the BOTIN underground cellar, selling at the price of 6,500 euros per bottle. It seems that the price is a bit exaggerated, personally think that such a wine taste may not be good, but with every mouthful of red wine swallowing will make you have a hundred years ago of unlimited reverie and aftertaste. On the side of the restaurant lobby, there are BOTIN's own special plates and wine bottles, which have special patterns and fancy styles. If you like, you can discuss with the boss to take it away. BOTIN's kitchen can be said to be a fully open kitchen, you can visit the chefs' cooking and cooking process of the dishes at the kitchen door, you can take pictures and videos, if the chef is more free, you can come out and take pictures with you. The restaurant marketing is still relatively good, after all, so many people from all over the world come here to visit and eat every day. As the popularity gets higher and higher, the price of meals will also increase, and whether the service of restaurants and the quality of meals will be accompanied by corresponding improvements in the future, I am still a little uncertain. It is not so much a BOTIN restaurant as a museum of restaurants that witness history. Due to the long history, the dishes made by ancient law, and the excellent marketing promotion, he has been able to inherit it, and has always maintained its inherent characteristics.

The BOTIN restaurant is the oldest in Guinness World Records, with a long history and you have been open since 1725, nearly 300 years ago, the restaurant is located outside the lively main square, from the main square porch to see the restaurant. BOTIN is a Michelin 2 star restaurant. The price of the meal is personally considered to be a bit expensive. Maybe this star rating has a star that gives it a history of nearly 300 years. Standing at the entrance of the restaurant, the wooden appearance gives people a long-standing feeling. When we entered the store, the waiter grandfather guided our Spanish Haonan International Travel Team to the second floor seat (it is worth mentioning here that the waiter grandfather worked here when he was young, It can be said to witness the growth and development of the Madrid Botin restaurant in Spain in recent decades), the second floor floor tiles and wall magnet tiles are blue and white color matching, and then match the wooden chairs and ceiling decoration, which gives people a feeling of comfort. The interior is only illuminated by chandeliers. It is good to have natural light during the day. The brightness is indeed a bit dark at night. The dishes in the restaurant are basically made by ancient methods. For example, the store's roasted special suckling pigs are all made of 2-week-old suckling pigs. The meat is tender and smooth, and the entrance is instant. Before roasting, these suckling pigs were made with white wine for 24 hours, and then baked with secret spices. The pig skin was indeed crispy and delicious. One serving was about 24 euros, but the portion was basically a one-person meal. We ordered botin special salad, botin special shells, botin fried beans, Iberian ham slices (professional ham chef sliced, each slice thin, size, basically an amazing one, pure technique), usually everyone eats red meat food to match a red wine, This way meat is not greasy, red wine can also give full play to the aroma (if seafood is basically accompanied by white wine. Seafood will not be fishy). It is worth mentioning that you should taste the Spanish sangria fruit wine, which is beautiful in the wine jar, and has a description of the restaurant name, and the restaurant officially opened in 1725. The sangria practice is usually a red wine ＋ Spanish special drink (casera) ＋ the number of seasonal slices of fruit ＋ sometimes a little gin wine/martim/vodka/brandy, etc., the taste is soothing and sweet. But we ordered a 2012 red wine. Everyone feels good ～

It is said that this is the oldest hotel in Spain. The location is not far from the San Miguel market in the center of Madrid. The hotel has three floors, the lower floor is actually an underground wine kiln, the place is small, a bit like a private small restaurant in Shanghai. We four people, each ordered a staple food plus a bottle of sangria fruit wine. The roast suckling pig is different from the Guangdong roasting method. In fact, it is a fatty skin with small hoofs and crispy meat, but it is a bit greasy to eat at the end. The ink fish rice is made of ink fish juice, and the small ink fish is tender and Q-pop. Coffee chicken is useless. Roast lamb chops are tender and juicy, recommended. These dishes are about 100 euros in total. Many waiters are elderly, but they are kind and humorous.

The most ostentatious trip to Madrid three years ago was to eat at BOTIN, the “world’s oldest restaurant” recognized by Guinness. Opened in 1725 Madrid BOTIN restaurant has nearly 300 years of history, a roast suckling pig signature dish is famous in the world, really the so-called tender taste of the outer and inner. Eating in an quaint environment is like crossing history, we waited until 8 pm to open the door, and more than 80 euros of luxury consumption. Of course, compared with our vast and profound Chinese cuisine is still far from the same, after going home, I ate a two hundred yuan Quanjude at home, and I gave it to the comparison.

Botin is one of Madrid's most famous and popular restaurants, and it is best known for roasted suckling pig and ham soup. The suckling pig skin is crispy and the entrance is very delicious. The ham soup is made with the famous Spanish ham soup. The delicious aroma is simply impossible. It is a must-see food in Madrid.
