  The oldest restaurant still operating in the United States opened on 7 October 1826 as the Atwood & Bacon Oyster House, in a Union Street building already old at the time. Its semicircular oyster bar is the original, and Daniel Webster is said to have worked through brandy and oysters at it daily.

  Antico Caffè Greco opened in 1760 a few steps from the Spanish Steps and became the room where the Grand Tour sat down - Keats, Byron, Goethe, Stendhal and Casanova among the names attached to it. It is the oldest cafe in Rome, and has spent recent years fighting its landlord in court over the rent on the premises it has occupied for more than two and a half centuries.

  Port'Alba began in 1738 as a street stall selling pizza to passers-by and took premises as a sit-down pizzeria a century later, which is the claim behind its billing as the world's first pizzeria. It still bakes in a wood oven lined with Vesuvian stone, on the street of booksellers under the old city gate.

  Botín has been serving on Calle de Cuchilleros since 1725, which the Guinness Book of Records recognises as making it the oldest restaurant in the world still trading. It was founded by the French cook Jean Botín and his Asturian wife, passed to a nephew - the sobrino of the name - and still roasts suckling pig in the same wood-fired oven, which has reportedly not been allowed to go out.

  Den Gyldene Freden opened in Stockholm's old town in 1722, named for the peace that ended the Great Northern War, and has served from the same vaulted cellars ever since - long enough to be cited as the oldest restaurant still trading in its original premises. The Swedish Academy has lunched there on Thursdays for generations.

  Floriano Francesconi opened his coffee house under the arcades of Piazza San Marco in 1720, making it one of the oldest cafés in continuous business anywhere. It admitted women when other Venetian cafés did not, which is how Casanova came to be among its regulars, and its orchestra still plays to the square.

  The brewhouse on Křemencova has been dated to 1499, which makes it one of the oldest continuously trading beer halls anywhere. It brews its own dark lager on the premises and has done through five centuries of changing states, serving it in a warren of rooms off a courtyard.
