Oldest Restaurant in the World: Madrid, Spain

Sobrino de Botin in the heart of Madrid is world renown for being recognized as the oldest restaurant that is still in operation. I haven't had the luck to dine their yet, but I will be sure to make a reservation on my next trip to the beautiful Capital city of Spain. I found this great video from the Travel Channel, which highlights Botin as well as other great aspects of the city.

They are best known for their suckling pig which looks spectacular with its crispy skin. If you are faint of heart when seeing a baby pig split open, then be sure to avoid this video. The simplicity of the preparation is an art itself and you see suckling pigs at restaurants all over Spain. Typically they are just sitting out in the open in their roasting dish. Goya is definitely my favorite artist at the Prado Museum in Madrid, so to think he actually worked and dined here is reason enough for me to try out the grub and take in the ancient atmosphere.
