Festive and elegant, 7 Portes has been around since 1836, making it one of the oldest and most prestigious restaurants in Barcelona. While these days it's more touristy than aristocratic, there is still enough authentic charm left in the decor (and patrons) to make it worth the visit. The white-aproned staff serve regional dishes, including fresh herring with onions and potatoes, daily paellas (with shellfish or rabbit), and a wide array of fresh fish, expertly fileted at the table. Order succulent oysters or an herb-laden stew of black beans with pork or white beans with sausage, which come in enormous portions. The restaurant's name means "Seven Doors," and it does indeed have seven doors, underneath charming porticoes typical of this portside pocket of Barcelona.
