Passeig d’Isabel II 14

The eponymous seven doors open on to as many dining salons, all kitted out in elegant 19th-century decor. Regional dishes are served in enormous portions and include a stewy fish zarzuela with half a lobster, and a different paella daily (shellfish, for example, or with rabbit and snails). Reservations are only available for certain tables (two to three days in advance is recommended); without one, get there early or expect a long wait outside.

Wonderful simple food. The "roast lamb with sliced potatoes" is precisely that, but more: excellent young lamb, melt-in-the-mouth, delicious. Service is fine. The wine list, as you would expect, has great Catalan wines (among others). See the website, setportes.com, for all the famous people who've eaten there (and no, I'm not on it).

Nice room but the paella is only average. You are much better off at Monchos- one of the lesser known spots near Platja Bogatell on the sea: Chiringuito Escriba. The paella, service and view are great! Posted on Apr 14 2007 18:32
