7. Stiftskeller St. Peter, Salzburg, Austria (803)
The world’s oldest restaurant is still running in St. Peter’s Abbey in Salzburg. What’s more impressive is that the establishment’s building has remained in its original state.
Although we don’t know the exact date of its founding, it seems that the place was running in 803, as the monk and scholar Albumin mentioned it in his writings.
The restaurant is said to have served both Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Christopher Columbus. However, the kitchen underwent a modernization process and now serves sophisticated versions of traditional Austrian dishes as well as cutting-edge European meals made with locally grown ingredients.

I lived in Boston for 30 years and The Old Union Oyster House was an every Saturday event for a dozen oysters on the half shell with that great taste of the ocean and a glass of cold beer. God, do I miss it!!!!!
