Hot Spots: 7 Portes







Restaurante 7 Portes.  If your parents are in town and you want paella, then I do not know what else I would suggest.  7 Portes is located on Passeig d'Isabel II, 14 and right near the port.  7 Portes got its start in 1836, when Josep Xifre i Cases built the restaurant.  It had seven doors that was opened to the public and a special eigth door for staff.  For more than 170 years, 7 Portes has been a staple in Catalan culture. In the 1920´s, the spot was famous for journalists, politicians, and artists and you could spot anyone there.  The appetizers are great, especially if you enjoy seafood.  For dinner, I suggest any of the paella´s.  Be careful, the paellas are huge and two people can definitely split one order.
