About 7 Portes
Charming Barceloneta has been home to fishermen and their families since the 18th century, and for nearly 170 years the nearby 7 Portes has been serving their catch to appreciative diners. Everyone but everyone has been here, Josephine Baker, John Wayne, the King and Queen of Spain, Pele, but the multi-layered mix of clients makes this bustling place really hum. The seven dining rooms are kitted out in pleasingly traditional style, with tiled floors, dark wooden beams, white linens, and walls adorned with posters and caricatures from the past, and served by expert waiters who are part of the show. The dish here is paella, in many forms and different every day, and all the classics: esqueixada, escalivada, bouillabaisse, zarzuela, and crema catalana. Large portions. A beloved landmark.
