This amazing restaurant In the heart of Barcelona really delivers. Great and tasty food where I especially can recommend their meat. High quality all the way through. Among the fish dishes I tried their grilled tuna. Also amazing. The staff Is always on their toes, and make you feel that you are very important to them. So It can’t be said enough: Great service and delivery Porvenir!! The staff were also very friendly. And fast (my god) when It came to get your order out to the table. From order to delivery It only took them about 10 minutes. Which Is incredible from my point of view. And I want to give a special shoutout to Christian. You really made us feel at home at Porvenir. So good service! So I see you again soon!

Great Galician and all of Spain food options. Good service and portions. Could have had more wine options, but a decent selection. Great restaurants will definitely visit again.

Porvenir – Tasty Pulpo at a Friendly Price We stopped by Porvenir and found it to be a good, affordable spot for a casual meal. The highlight was definitely the pulpo (octopus) – nicely cooked and full of flavour! While the price point was great, the interior and service could be improved a bit to match the quality of the food. Still, if you’re looking for a budget-friendly meal with some solid dishes, this place is worth considering.
