The 12 oldest restaurants in the world to this day.
Do you know many restaurants that have been successfully operating for at least 10 years? We say “at least” because we want to tell you about the most amazing catering establishments in the world, whose age has long exceeded one hundred (or even several hundred) years!
Just imagine: these restaurants are so old that their walls remember the world around them completely different - without phones, tablets and even without cars. Once upon a time, luxuriously dressed ladies and gentlemen rode up to the doors of these establishments not in sparkling limousines and maybach, but in beautiful crews.
In general, these are legendary and unique places that you need to visit, even if you are absolutely indifferent to food and are far from the concept of "gourmet". At least in order to be imbued with this amazing atmosphere and spirit of centuries.
