    I had read beforehand that this was - according to the Guinness Book of Records - the oldest restaurant in the world, dating from 1725 and that Goya supposedly worked here before becoming a painter.

    Of course we had to give it a try knowing that
    Hemingway used to be a frequent visitor too.

    Favorite Dish: 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).

    • I had to test this one too as it is said to be a classic among restaurants in Madrid.

    The menu showed indeed classical spanish dishes and the ambiance truly was "old-fashioned"!

    • Favorite Dish: Very rustic with an authentic stone oven where most of the dishes were cooked!
