    Botín - suckling pig

    Sobrino de Botín is the oldest recorded restaurant in the world according the Guiness Book of World…read moreRecords at over 300 years old. What foodie would pass up the opportunity to dine here? When I found out I was coming to Madrid I had to book a table. First things first, my suggestion is book way in advance. This place fills up fast. My friend and I waited too long and the only seating we could get was at 11:15 PM. No big deal though there's plenty of places you can get a light snack in the surrounding area while exploring the city. Walking in, the architecture immediately hits you. Low ceilings, gorgeous old brick, tight dining rooms, it really feels like you stepped back in time. The whole atmosphere is elevated without being stiff. Staff was super friendly and made the experience feel smooth from start to finish. There's also apprently a really nice wine cellar at the bottom I overheard other patrons bragging about. Food wise, I will keep it real, it was good, just not my favorite meal in Madrid. The sangria was solid, definitely one of my highlights. The croquettes were fire. Crispy, creamy, exactly what you want. My friend's seafood casserole was actually really good too, I lowkey wish I went that route. Now the misses. The sautéed vegetables with Iberian ham didn't do it for me. The veggies needed seasoning bad, and the ham leaned a little too salty, so together it just felt off. The suckling pig, the signature dish, was good, but I was not blown away. If I find myself returning here, I would explore other options. After dinner, there was a little show and they let you keep a souvenir menu, which was a nice touch and made the night feel more memorable. Overall I had a solid 3.5 star experience rounded up to 4. Sobrino de Botín is history, it is iconic, and it is worth saying you have been. Just do not expect it to be the best meal of your trip. Hit Botín, soak it in, then go explore the rest of Madrid's food scene, because that is where things really start to shine.

    This was more about the experience of dining in the oldest restaurant (established 1725) according…read moreto the Guinness book of World Record. The restaurant itself has a lot of character, dark woods and brick. The place is known for its suckling roasted pig and lamb. We also ordered this soup that was being brought to other tables. History aside, the food was underwhelming. It's the type of place you try once when visiting Madrid.

    Roostiq is one of my favorite restaurants in Madrid! I make a reservation for lunch or dinner…read morewhenever I am in town for work. The reservation system is easy to use, and reach out to them if there does not appear to be any bookings available. The staff is friendly and helpful, even offering suggestions despite my very poor Spanish grammar when asking. The last two visits I've been fortunate to be seated next to the kitchen for a front row view of the magic. They have a wood-fired oven, and the artichokes may be one of the best things I have ever eaten. I normally order the grilled chicken breast and my bf had one of the best steaks of his life here. The bread is freshly baked and so, so good. While I have not tried any of the desserts, they bring out a dark chocolate truffle after the meal that is the perfect ending.

    Very happy to have stumbled across this fantastic spot. They were very accommodating, helping us…read moreget a table with no reservation on a busy Friday night. Food was incredible. Service was friendly and efficient (and spoke English which helped overcome my very poor Spanish). The server recommended the cheesecake for desert, and I almost passed because, well, cheesecake, but holy hell, it was amazing. Oozing with fresh ricotta and served with a dose of Amaretto to pour over, it was simply spectacular. Met the chef and her team and they couldn't have been nicer. Easily one of our best meals in Madrid. Go!!
