Oldest Restaurants in the USA and Europe

Eating with others is a restorative activity. When dining in an historic restaurant, the setting, cuisine, and relics of the past take us back in time. We come to understand a people’s history through the restaurant, those who founded it, how it stayed afloat, special dishes, and past famous guests. Recipes featuring local foods prepared by distinctive chefs leave diners with a souvenir of a beloved restaurant. We may find ourselves swept away by the unique atmosphere, friendly waitpersons, and abundant information to inform our historic journey.
