 Roast suckling pigs hot out of
the cast iron oven by mesoblonda
Known for it's roasted suckling pig and lamb, Casa Botin is also acknowledged by the Guinness Book of Records as being the earliest restaurant, opened in 1725.
For you literary buffs, this famous dining spot was a haunt of Hemingway's and Goya supposedly worked here before becoming a painter.
"Tuna's", similar to mariachis, serenaded us all and were very impressive. Traditional music with great senses of humor.
The filet mignon.
The roast suckling pig seemed to me nothing but skin, fat and minimal meat. I would not order it again.
Dessert was wonderful...and where can you buy a glass of nice port for $2.85 Euro? Here!

Of course we had to give it a try knowing that
Hemingway used to be a frequent visitor too.
The place was full when we entered but the staff opened a new room for us and a few others that came in at the same time.
A lot of tourists there indeed but don't let that put you off as locals and even the king itself still go there from time to time.
Try the cochinillo asado (roast suckling pig) or cordero asado (roast lamb). Leave a Comment Theme: LocalAddress: Calle Cuchilleros 17Phone: (91) 366 4217Directions: Right next to the arco of the cuchilleros, near Plaza Mayor Metro: Sol

Cochinillo Asado, which is roast suckling pig, is a signature dish at Botin and I can see why. It's delicious.
". . . I would rather dine on suckling pig at Botin's that sit and think of casualties my friends have suffered." - Ernest Hemingway, from Death in the Afternoon (end of Chapter 10).

 Oldest Restaurant in the World by sleepingwolf
The lamb was delightful. Its was as good, if not better than any rack of lamb disk I have tasted at a "wfite glove" restaurant in the US. the presentation is very rustic, but the food quality is top notched. I also recomend the garlic soup, except for vampires, of course.

Go to the very Southwest corner of Plaza Mayor, go down the steps and Botin is 2 blocks up on the left.

This is the restaurant where Jake Barnes, hero of The Sun Also Rises, plays his last scene; Hemingway gave the place considerable attention in Death in the Afternoon as well.

The 'Café Oriente'. The 'Museo del Jamón'.Madrid has a lot of good and interesting restaurants
The Botin is located near the Plaza Mayor, and every night the 'trovadores' show singing lovely songs.
The Museo del Jamón is located at the Calle Mayor, 7.
The Café Oriente is in front of the Palácio real.
In the 'Botin' the 'cuchinillo assado'.
No café Oriente o cocido . No Museo del Jamón. a paella. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
