Botin is the worlds oldest restaurant and was started in 1725. For an Australian that is mind blowing.
I did not like all our dishes but they did perform where it counted. The suckling pig was perfect, as was the lamb. It is prepared simply and served even more simply. As you enter the restaurant you see in front of you a great wall of roasted pig (Cochinillo) in earthenware dishes. Obviously they sell a lot of pig!
Botin is a must do for a culinary visit to Spain.
