The area where our table was located felt hot and uncomfortable. The table itself was small and cramped, and we found the food to be below our expectations. Considering the price we paid, we had hoped for better quality.

Considering it is the world’s oldest restaurant it is only surviving because of that - any normal restaurant serving that quality of food and service would have closed many years ago . That doesn’t mean it was all bad , like so many other customers you go for the experience and I have done it - would I ever go back , certainly not . Service was rushed , the waiter never smiled until I gave him a tip and whilst I have never eaten suckling pig before it seemed tasty but to just serve it with two overdone boiled potatoes was in my opinion shocking . Tiramisu was very good , I was shocked however when I nearly lost a tooth as it contained nuts of all things! My wife said that it was the first time that she had a lemon sorbet ready to drink . I would say don’t be put off , go there knowing that you will be rushed through , having eaten average food but still like many,you can tell your friends how wonderful it was to have eaten in the worlds oldest restaurant

Food and ambience were excellent. The roasted piglet was delish. It’s a must when in Madrid.

“I found the service a bit rushed. The waiters keep pushing you to eat and order quickly, which gives the feeling that they don’t want you to stay at the table for too long. Other than that, everything was great!”

Eating in a historic restaurant is always an amazing experience but having the food and service be impeccable, is a gift!

While it’s undeniably cool to step inside the world’s oldest restaurant, the food was terrible and the service was average.

The location is in the middle of old town madrid within walking distance to many points of interests. This restaurant celebrated its 300th birthday last year so we were appropriately led up to a 3rd or 4th floor on narrow winding stairs, but the seating area itself was bright with window. The vegetables with ham side dish is very impressive, with light olive oil and very good seasoning. The roasted suckling pig was on almost every table and it's good. We also had steak and fried schnitzel (veal steak) which were good. we ordered cream bulee and some other cake less impressive, the caramel was the thickest but still crispy that I've ever had. The waiter offered to take table pictures for us. Overall a very good experience and highly recommended.

Perhaps we had high expectations. Vegies were over cooked, food was average. It would have been nice to weave a little more of their history into the dining experience. Overall, overpriced for what it was. Sorry - this was just the experience of our group.

What a tourist trap! Terrible all around. Food is below average for European standards. Service was absent - I was not even asked how I would like my meat prepared. World famous suckling pig was very mediocre. This please was superb 22 years ago when I visited it. Now it’s a waist of your time and money.
