"Black as the night the arroz negre or black rice is coloured with squid ink. It comes with plenty of tender squid and two clams on top and it is intense but delicious. It was very good."

Marina O'Loughlin

"Dinner here – “rich man’s paella”, perhaps, where all the shellfish is peeled for you – paired with several ones-for-the-road from equally venerable cocktail bar Boadas adds up to some kind of vintage nirvana."

"Unlike other restaurants with established reputations, it hasn't rested on its laurels and continues to serve extremely good seafood in the traditional Catalan style. The menu offers some delicious Catalan specialties such as Esqueixada (salt cod salad)."

Suite Life

"7 Portes, in the El Born district, is regarded as one of the best traditional restaurants in Barcelona: It was founded in 1836! That means... 178 years of existence! In case you are not convinced yet, Esqueixada de bacallà is one of Catalan dishes that you can find there. It will be an unforgettable experience!"

Cason Rainwater

"7 Portes | THE BEST paella and sangria. Need I say more? Just make sure you have a reservation. ORDER: Rich Man’s Paella (chicken, pork, sausage, lobster, and prawns) and red wine sangria."
