ABOUT

The Botín Experience

Situated in the medieval Austrias area of Madrid, Botín restaurant was founded by Frenchman Jean Botín in 1725 and has been in the González family for four generations.

The restaurant has been visited by people from all over the world, including royalty, politicians, writers and Hollywood stars.

Insider’s Travel is proud to work exclusively with the González family to bring you The Botín Experience. This includes a guided tour of the restaurant, its history, its art and its anecdotes. Following the tour, we will serve you a variety of dishes from The Botín Experience Set Menu (see above).

Important information for your
Botín Experience:

Please be aware that when traveling from the historic center, arrival to Botín on foot is often the fastest!

We recommend arriving a few minutes early. If you are late (we start at 12pm and 7pm on the dot!), please knock on the door & let the Botín staff know you are there to join the tour & they will lead you to the group.
The tour is run in English. We have the capacity to run the tour in Spanish but the default language is English.

As there are many stairs in Botín, please let us know if someone in your group has mobility issues so we can best accommodate you. 
While this is a small group tour, your party will be seated separately. 
If you book early, you may choose to sit between the Bodega Cellar dining room & the Castilian dining room. 
When seated, please advise the server of any special dietary requirements so they can advise you of an alternative option.
We organise The Botín Experience for company/corporate events as well!
