I hope you enjoyed the first Gastronomic Digest last week. This article is actually my 500th post here on the blog, I never thought I would reach this number when I started almost 7 years ago. Anyway, here is what I found interesting this week...
What are the oldest restaurants in the world? (Worldwide)
Everybody gets hyped up about the latest openings these days but how about the places that have been here forever? This list of the oldest restaurants in the world by Condé Nast Traveler seems like an awesome bucket list for any serious food tourists. I knew about Restaurante Botín in Madrid (1725) and La Tour d'Argent in Paris (1582) but there are some oldies out there that kick their ass in terms of longevity, I'm looking at you St. Peter Stiftskulinarium in Salzburg mentioned by Charlemagne in 803 A.D!Have a look at the full list here > The Oldest Restaurants in the World

Matt Orlando has opened a craft brewery and restaurant in Copenhagen (Denmark)
As you may know, I've been to Copenhagen twice and loved it (see my food and drink recommendations). Now I'm definitely adding this one to my third trip... Matt Orlando, former sous chef at Noma and owner of Amass is known for his commitment to a zero waste policy and turning food scraps into stunning dishes. He has just started a new venture: Broaden & Build, a craft brewery and casual restaurant. One that promises to be exciting for all the craft beer lovers out there.
