In the restaurant world, it’s not only the quality of the food, the service or the price that can make a difference. Sometimes it’s speed, age or variety, and that can make the restaurant experience just as memorable.

Karne Garibaldi in Guadalajara, Mexico, holds the Guinness World Record for the fastest service in the world, serving a plate of Carne En Su Jugo in just 13.5 seconds.

And the oldest continuously running restaurant in the world is in Spain at Madrid’s Sobrino de Botín. It has been open since 1725. And its specialty is Roast Suckling Pig.

And whether you have a sweet tooth or not, Gibson’s Gourmet Burgers and Ribs in Cape Town, South Africa, holds the record for most varieties of milkshakes available with a whopping 207 varieties on its menu.
