Botín Restaurant:
Street de Cuchilleros, 17, 28005 Madrid.
This is the oldest restaurant in the world, located in the heart of Madrid de los Austrias. This restaurant dates back to 1725 and offers the best dishes of typical Castilian food. Among its most typical dishes are the suckling pig and roast lamb, which are cooked in a fabulous old wood-fired oven.
It preserves the format of an old inn and stands out for its hospitality, in a warm and friendly atmosphere, where you can enjoy recipes that have been passed down from father to son.
Casa Lucio:

One of the most recognised restaurants in the capital. Decorated like a 19th century tavern and with a bustling atmosphere, Casa Lucio embodies like few others the most traditional values of Madrid’s restaurants.

But it also stands out for dishes such as: the cocido madrileño and the excellent callos a la madrileña, potato omelette with ratatouille, the famous Lucio potatoes and, for dessert, it’s delicious rice pudding.

50 years ago, a married couple, Alfredo and María decided to open a small restaurant located in the Chamberí neighbourhood, they called it “Skylar” and started making omelettes. Nowadays, it is possibly the restaurant that serves the best omelette in the city, that is why it is essential to stop to refuel and try their famous omelette.
In addition to their famous omelette, we also highlight other dishes on the menu such as: croquettes, squid in its ink, green salad with goat cheese and nuts, scrambled eggs with ratatouille and tuna belly, ham croquettes, ….. For dessert, we suggest the torrijas and tiramisu.
