Sobrino de Botín (Calle de los Cuchilleros 17, 28005 Madrid, Spain), founded in 1725,[1] is the oldest restaurant in the world in continuous operation,[2] according to the Guinness Book of Records. The artist Francisco de Goya worked in Cafe Botin as a waiter while waiting to get accepted into the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. The restaurant is mentioned in an Ernest Hemingway novel and the book Fortunata y Jacinta by Benito Pérez Galdós (published 1886-1887).
