Botín restaurant in Madrid was founded by James Botin and his wife in 1725. It is one of the oldest eateries at the original premises in the world. The restaurant was originally called as Casa Botín but later it was inherited by a nephew of theirs called Candido Remis who change the name to Sobrino de Botín.
As a curiosity it is also important to note that the artist Francisco de Goya used to work here as a dishwasher while waiting to get accepted into the Royal Academy of Fine Arts.
