Tough to say, but we have a dozen restaurants in the U.S. older than 300 years, so it is plausible since we have only had the civil war on our soil in that time frame. There are multiple pubs in England that date (themselves) to 1200 years ago, too.
Maybe the distinction isn't just "continuously running" but also under the same name and without major renovations??

How did Guiness Book of World Records miss that? You should send them an email.

Uninterupted? Sounds like this place has never closed, even during war, in 300 years. I presume exceptions for holidays and maintenance.

You can do renovations and still remain open depending on the building layout.

For those curious, the restaurant is "Sobrino de BotÃn" in Madrid.
