Gene SooJuly 19, 2016Great atmosphere at one of the oldest restaurant in Barcelona. A pianist plays hits songs adds to the vibe. There is no dress code but will be nice to dress up for a date at this restaurant.

Ceren UnalMarch 10, 2018It is as pricey as they say bit the ambiance is worth it! We have tried the canneolli with beef and paella with lobster and meat, both very delisious. Try their one of their house-wines too.
Susanna SooJuly 18, 2016Elegant setting in this culture rich restaurant, welcomed by beautiful piano performance inside. Had the best gazpacho in my life and really balanced and flavourful paella, well worth many revisits!
Constance | @croostifoodiDecember 3, 2018Very good paella, especially the squid ink one. Crema Catalana stuffed apple is very good, although skip crema catalana. Fancy-like venue, booking recommended. Quite expensive.
Shelby WoowJuly 12, 2015Amazing paella & sea food. Pricy, elegant arrive early or make a reservation. Not a Dress code but try not to go like if you were just going out from the beach this place is very nice and elegant.
S PAugust 7, 2019Good and popular traditional upscale Spanish/Catalan restaurant with oldstyle service. Known for its paella and other classic dishes. Good reliable quality, but not great food and not inexpensive.
Sean HowellJanuary 5, 2018Fancy but comfortable setting for paella. It is fun. The piano player performed pop and classical hits. The paella include avant-garde options that verge on heresy like rabbit and picante
Montserrat BoadaMarch 8, 2015One of the oldest restaurant in BCN ,I recomend because you can try catalan cusine with on of the best paellas of Barcelona,believe me i am catalan!Photo is bunyols de quaresma and crema catalana
Alèxia SoléNovember 17, 2019It’s an iconic rest. of BCN. The food is really good and the service depends on the waiter you get, it’s a lottery. They serve real paella, also try croquettes. Desserts are made by the pastry Chef.
Derek ErbAugust 21, 2019Agree with most of the comments here: Excellent Paella, good range of wines, a bit overpriced, too classy for the type of cuisine. Have just the Paella and a glass of wine!- Merve K.July 6, 2022Enjoy great seafood paella, nice ambiance with live piano performance in one of Barcelona’s oldest, elegant restaurants. Definitely would recommend for classic Spanish food 👌🏻🥘
Athina 💎 FrJanuary 20, 2016No.1 paella for a reason. I really liked the idea of having the name of the person who has eaten in your table on the receipt. Some pretty cool people have dined there!
Nazli Sumer AkdogarMarch 6, 2016Rich's man paella (fish only), marinated mussels and small seafood plate are perfect!
Dimitris C.September 13, 2014The best paella I've had in my life. 1 paella can be enough for 2 persons so it's really good value for money. Classy place, a must visit restaurant in BCN
Elizabeth BursteinJune 30, 2017Awesome fancier restaurant w great seafood paella, steak with peppercorn sauce, and truffle cannellonis. Also loved the sparkling cava wine!
Yüzyıl AydınJanuary 30, 2016Sangria is very good, you should try small seafood plate, snails are amazing and oysters are worth to try. They do not know english so make sure what you ordered. :) -waiting for the paella :)
Emre KekecSeptember 19, 2014Could be the best paella served in Barcelona served with great sea food salad and delicious sangria. Remember to check the back of your seat to see which famous star had his/her dinner there.
FerideSeptember 24, 2014If you find to eat good paella, you are the right place. Prices are not too much, all right I think. Their sangria is the best sangria I have ever tasted in BCN. Paellas are about 20€, sangria is 16€
Glenn EbertMay 27, 2014Founded in 1836, this is one of the oldest dining institutions in Barcelona. Take a break from the nonstop tapas and grab a bite for some of the best Paella and seafood in all of the ciudad.
Ugur SavasMay 23, 2015Established in 1836.Try Paella with seafood, seafood plate, mussels with onions and tomato, Sangria dry one or Sp red wine Torres or Pingus Chocalate desserts are nice too. Reservation is needed.
Zara KhanApril 8, 2017Absolutely delicious! The paella was perfectly cooked and so good that my sister and I kept going back for some more. everything was perfect!
annlouApril 8, 2015Catalan food. Nice atmosphere. Excellent service. For the most tender meat ever, go for the lamb with potatoes. Paella also good. So are the desserts.
Katerina ChararaDecember 12, 2014Best paella in barcelona. Beautiful restaurant and great service. If you are two and do not want to spent a lot of money you can take one paella and cava 1/2. You get full :)
Ozlem YurtseverJuly 29, 2013Paella prices from 15 to 23 euro. We had the king choice only with seafood and it was delicious. Maybe it is a bit expensive but you should definetly come here and try! 2 people can share one paella
Kevin DulinApril 22, 2017Get a bunch of different Paellas for the table and try them all! All so delicious!
- ahmed modanSeptember 30, 2018The traditional paella has shelled seafood (except lobster tail) and is very good. The truffle cannelloni is also fantastic.
- Akira Flats BarcelonaAugust 21, 2011Best paella in Barcelona is 7 Portes' Paella Parellada. A nice jamón, some bunyols de bacallà (cod fritters) and paella for 2 if you're 3 (portions are huge) and you're good to go!
Diyana D.March 13, 2015Delicious paella with fresh seashells, good service and a great atmosphere with loads of history. We dined at Woody Allen and Ava Gardner's table, can't deny that it added a little extra excitement :)
Seval HaraçJuly 3, 2016If you want to eat Paella and you have to choose one place to eat, you can prefer this place. The ambience of the restaurant is also cool. You can go with Rich Man's paella.
MarioAugust 26, 2019historic place with great dishes and even Paella and tasty homemade Sangria. Great customer service and very friendly personell
Nash AlsJuly 9, 2019authentic Catalan cuisine, lemon & butter mussels were good. also the lobster paella & squid ink paella were good. they also offer good tapas. live piano music.
Jessica BrownAugust 6, 2016Paella is so good! But also so salty so just beware of that if you're not too keen on salty food. But this place is a deffo must see and I will be recommending to all my friends
Jaeyun KimSeptember 26, 2014Favorite restaurant in Barcelona. Paella is very delicious, Rich man's Paella (fish only) and Back Rice I can recommend. but be careful original Paella is very salty. Ask make it not salty, "Sin Sal"
Aysu AlgMay 27, 2017Of course seafood paella is the best one! 😍 waiters are very good also. Very nice and elegant restaurant! 👌🏽🖤
Stacy Bo BacyMay 24, 2019Great service and food. Can be a wait for dinner, so call to make a reservation if there’s a night you’d like to go.
Debanjana ChatterjeeOctober 2, 2019Old timey ambience, gets very busy later in the evening, pallela may take 30 mins to one hour to make. Try the other items as well, they are very good
GörkJanuary 31, 2014Don't fall into the tourist traps, spend a little more and get your money's worth! Local place and food, good atmosphere, great seafood, paella, wine and crème brulée. I'd say don't miss it.
Tiffie CheiSeptember 11, 2016Again, last round of Paella before leaving! So delicious.... 😋😋😋 It's strongly recommended, super authentic restaurant serving good food.
Elizabeth VodaJuly 13, 2016Old fashioned in a good way. Tried paella for the first time and it was very tasty. Service is good but they take their time slow. All visitors are tourists.
NevermoreJuly 24, 2013This is certainly the city's most famous paella, which is always good. Try also seafood and rice dishes prepared in traditional way like Fideuà with prawnsor the Zarzuela with lobster.
Rafael MarinJune 19, 2017We had an excellent evening with good wine, very good gazpacho and a great parellada. Apart from the food, the service was also remarkable.
DKNLSeptember 22, 2013Don't believe the negative reviews you read. Great paella reasonably priced, 11 euro bottle of good house white wine. And to top it off, this beautiful 175 year old restaurant offers free wifi!!!
Apartment BarcelonaDecember 27, 20137 Portes was established in 1836 and to this day continues to provide some of the city’s best seafood and paella dishes. It even served the young Picasso back when he was living in the city!
Beverley SproatsMay 26, 2014Worth the wait! Had to wait 45min for a table, but a pleasant wait wIth a glass of sangria. Delicious paella and yummy rich chocolate mousse. Good service.
Wendy CartwrightMarch 31, 2018Great paella, starter platter, prawn cocktail & friendly, efficient service. Classic place with uniformed waiters.
Sinan TekincanMarch 7, 2018Seafood paella is very delicious. The portions are pretty big, so you can consider sharing the plates. The service was very slow. There was a nice live piano music.
İlayda CakarDecember 9, 2016The atmosphere was nice with legends' names on their seat but I absolutely had better paella in other places!I enjoy the idea of slow food and relax mood but it took them excessively long for anyorder
Miles NgJune 29, 2015Great service! And they have one of the best Paellas ever! Must try: Paella Parallada and Grilled Lamb chops. YUM!
Timea VeghJune 8, 2017Excellent paella classic with delish lobster. Not a large portion and a little pricey bit it was worth it
Mohammed YaseenMarch 20, 2015The sea food Paella is amazing... Beyond imagination... Loved the food, the ambiance... Everything is just perfect!

"I go there for 2 reasons really - their patatas bravas and gambas al ajillo (I'm probably addicted to them). Original decors and sea view make this place my fav spot after spending a day on the beach."
