Originally called "Cafè de les 7 Portes", this establishment opened
in 1836. Its over 150 years of excellence since then have made today's
"Restaurant de les 7 Portes" the most classic of Barcelona's eating-places.
It is housed in the "Pòrtics d'en Xifré", a building declared a
national monument that was, incidentally, the first place in Barcelona
where running water was installed and the back drop for the first
photograph ever taken in Spain, In 1942, it became the property
of Paco Parellada, founder of one of the fore most dynasties of
restaurateurs in all of Catalonia.
 At "7 Portes", any time without interruption from one in the afternoon to one in the morning every day of the year, you can enjoy the finest Catalan cooking in an intimate setting or in one of the spacious banquet halls, accompanied by Spain's best wines and "cavas" (sparking wines) from the well-stocked cellar. |
