World's oldest restaurant

June 27, 2025

In the heart of Spain's capital, Sobrino de Botin holds a coveted Guiness World Record as the world's oldest restaurant.

- RONALD CONSTANTINO

Exactly 300 years after it opened its doors, Botin welcomes droves of daily visitors hungry for Castilian fare with a side of history.

But on the outskirts of Madrid, far from the souvenir shops and tourist sites, a rustic tavern named Casa Pedro makes a bold claim. Its owners assert the establishment endured not just the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s and the Napolenic invasion in the early 1800s, but even the War of Spanish Succession at the start of the 18th century—a lineage that would make Casa Pedro older than Botin.
