What travelers say:
Recommended: Charcoal grilled cheese crispy naan, you can smell the fragrant cheese when it is served, and you can even pull it into strings when you break it open. Cheese lovers will love it. The texture of naan is very crispy and soft, a bit like pizza. Eat it while it is hot and it has a rich milky flavor~

Dinner was a standard French meal, with a classic Caesar salad with smoked chicken breast, boiled egg, Parmesan cheese slices, cream of mushroom soup, veal lasagna, and a main course of low-temperature charcoal grilled rib-eye steak with seasonal vegetables and lasagna potatoes.
A very famous local restaurant. The signature seafood rice is a must-order for every table. The seafood is really fresh. The mussels are the best. The meat is very tender! In addition, their other dishes are also very good. It is worth a try.
How could we miss a restaurant that has attracted the Queen of England and many Hollywood stars? We started queuing at 8pm and were not seated until 9:30pm. This popular scene is enough to prove everything. The menu is in Chinese, so don't worry if you are not good at English. You can choose to sit inside or outside. There will be an old man playing the piano inside. Of course, you don't have to stand while waiting in line. The small round table outside the store has prepared a drink list for you. You can order a drink first, then sit down and wait slowly.
Paella is the most famous delicacy in Spain and a dish that tourists who come to Barcelona cannot miss. If you ask the locals to recommend a restaurant that serves Paella, I believe that nine out of ten will answer you "7 Portes". The restaurant is named after the seven Parisian arches in front of the door. It has been 181 years since it opened in 1836. Countless celebrities have dined here, and Miró and Dali were also frequent guests here. With a glorious history, 7 Portes is still crowded with customers a hundred years later, thanks to its authentic Paella. The current head, Baco, is nearly 70 years old, but he is still energetic and still takes care of everything in the store every day. The star dish that you must not miss here is: Paella Parellada.
For the last meal in Barcelona, I chose the famous 7 portes. I knew that its super chicken was very popular, so I specially booked a seat on tripadvisor in advance. Since 1836, it has been quietly opened on a corner of the street day after day. It is said that it is still the first choice for locals for business and festivals. I walked around slowly, passed through the winding streets in the old town, and arrived at the restaurant three minutes earlier than the reservation time~~ Multi-language menus, self-branded olive oil for meals, soups that claim to have a century-old recipe, old-fashioned table service, and the old lady in red celebrating her birthday at the next table... Everything seems to silently remind of its long history. Sure enough, after the dishes were served, they were delicious and almost impeccable: The seafood platter was 100% fresh, especially the small conches were so tender that they were amazing! The steak was cooked perfectly, but unfortunately it was photographed ugly. Although the name of the dish is just the humble "seafood noodles", it uses the standard Spanish paella cooking method, using noodles instead of rice, which is refreshing. The caramel pudding after the meal can be said to be the most ubiquitous dessert in Spain, but it is no exaggeration to say that the caramel pudding at 7 portes is definitely the best! A perfect meal, a perfect end to the journey~
Although there are hundreds of messages from celebrities on the walls of 7 Portes, I was surprised to find after I sat down that the person closest to me was Lou Reed! The environment and taste are worth recommending
A local check-in shop recommended by my friend. After making an appointment, I was seated smoothly~ It is also very close to the beach, so it is more suitable to come after a walk~ #Environment# The overall environment is quite elegant~ It is really popular at night. If possible, it is better to make an appointment~ #Menu# The menu here is very friendly and has Chinese, so it seems very convenient~ #Traditional Spanish Lobster Rice# Bones, shells and bones are removed. Spanish seafood rice includes chicken, pork tenderloin, squid, Catalan pork sausage, prawns, mussels and half a lobster tail~ It is really full and sincere~ When I ate it, I was simply It is so delicious~ It is not too raw, and it is quite satisfying with the freshness of seafood and meat~ #Catalan Spinach# Slightly blanched spinach, add pine nuts, raisins and olive oil to stir-fry~ This vegetable is also highly recommended. For someone who loves green vegetables, I can only say that it is really uncomfortable not to eat vegetables for too long~ And this kind of cooking is also very refreshing~ #Steak# Selected black and white Holstein beef steak, with fried chili peppers~ The 400g steak is really mouth-watering as soon as it is served~ The meat quality is quite excellent, and the chili peppers can also slightly relieve the greasiness~ It feels like my favorite meal in Spain~
