    I have a strange impressions from visiting this restaurant in Lisboa. It was damn delicious...delightfully. My compliments to the chef. In all restaurants of this level, the atmosphere around you is important. The atmosphere here is at the highest level. Live music, correct arrangement of tables, comfortable sofas, helpful waiters, bright rooms for seating guests. But!!!! An hour / one and a half later, the head waiter came up to our company and said that our table was booked and the next guests were already waiting for our table. What? Seriously? What disrespect for guests. I am Ukrainian. My guests were from Russia, Portugal and Latvia. You will not get such disrespect for guests in a self-respecting restaurant in my country.

    Amazing experience! The most delicious meat I’ve tasted in ages (we ordered Goat Shoulder and Veal), all the sides were unbelievably good too! Great wine, great desert selection. Impeccable service and stunning interior. Can’t compare it to anything else, just WOW. We thanked the chef probably 5 times and the dinner conversation was about how good the food was!

    When I booked this place for my fancy night out in Lisbon with my partner, I thought we would enjoy the experience, but it was the opposite. The food was good, I have to admit that the grilled entrecôte was worth the price, no complaints. BUT the service, what a joke, seriously. I have never felt so unwanted and offended in a place before. Firstly the waitress who served us was very cold and unfriendly, she basically ignored me all night, only paying attention to my partner, and pretending I wasn't even at the table. Secondly the manager, I believe he was the manager, what a rude man! My companion left the table to go down to use the bathroom, and when he was returning to the table, a very dressed up guy pulled him at the entrance, not allowing him to return to his seat, I don't know what he had in his mind, but I thought it was just ignorance and rudeness, to force himself to explain that he was a customer. I mean, come on, you brought us to our table, and now you're pretending we're strangers? Change your attitude and be more professional. Anyways, the only 3 things worth in this place are the decoration, the cockatiels and the dessert. However, I would not recommend this restaurant to any of my friends, and I would never go back to any of their other places in Lisbon. By the way I was charged for 2 baskets of bread, when they only gave me 1 basked. Disrespectful

    Fine cuisine with lots of option to choose from. Love the plating but i love even more the flavor of the dishes. Truffle pasta not overwhelming at all just perfect for dinner. torpedo sauce to die for and all fresh fishes were delicious. not to crazy about desserts but overall 5 out of 5

    What an Amazing stylish high class restaurant and bar in Lisbon!!❤️This semi fine dining experience is located in a multilevel fashion store!! We came for lunch, but I would definitely recommend booking a reservation if you want to dine here. They require a credit card for booking, which my friends were not pleased about!! But I guess with this level of ambiance and fine dining a lot of popular stylish restaurants in the world request that. We stopped by for lunch and luckily we were seated in a cold air conditioned huge bar area!! The staff was very professional and neat! We ordered burrata, shrimp prawn curry, and sea bass!! All was super Amazing!! Five stars for the chefs and team!! Absolutely recommended🌹🌹

    Can’t remember when I visited such an amazing restaurant, everything was top notch. The food - incredible, super soft, full of flavour and simply delicious. The same as cocktails and their house wine. The interior design is just divine and pleasant to look at. The staff was so great, helpful, friendly and funny. All in all I had an amazing experience and I highly recommend Jncquoi to everyone who is visiting Lisbon

    The place has an extravagant but incredible decor (please visit their restrooms). The dishes are delicious and my recommendation goes to ``Canard``. The wine list has good labels, but the attraction of the place is the dessert called ``Dinosaur Spittle``, which makes a lot of sense when you consider that there is a dinosaur skeleton in the middle of the room.

    Lovely outdoor restaurant in a semi-enclosed dining area just next to sidewalk on Ave. Liberdade. Delicious food, good, attentive service, though pretty expensive. I’ve eaten here twice and 2 of the best meals I’ve had in Portugal. Come for a special occasion.

    The experience of fine dining at one of Lisbon's top 50 restaurants was terrific! Although it was pricier than other restaurants in Lisbon, the experience was well worth it.

  • 5/5 Ralf D. 1 month ago on Google • 92 reviews New
    Nice location to have a relaxing dinner, followed by ending the evening in the stylish bar downstairs... Most likely not the last visit 😇

    We ate here for our fancy night in Lisbon and it did not disappoint. We found the service to be wonderful - friendly and helpful. We shared the JNcQUOI salad and had the sole and lamb shoulder for dessert. Everything was cooked perfectly and totally worth the high price tag. Make sure you go to the bathroom in the bar downstairs. It was memorable (in a good way)!

    The restaurant was fully booked therefore the staff referred me to the gastrobar downstairs. Different vibes compared to the restaurant, but you have access to the same menu. The food was tasty, slightly pricier due to the area/environment. Service was overall good.

    Sadly my fish was way too salty. It seems everything was a bit too salty for my taste. Starters were real good, though. One of our party members had a steak(the smaller one 500gr) that one was very delicious. Usually I like steaks when they are unsalted and you have to salt it by yourself fir your liking. Over here the stake was salted already but luckily in the right amount. Too bad my fish was too salty otherwise it would have been a 5 star experience. Their cocktails are real good, I prefered the Pablo. My wife drank Ocean Blue. Women will love the Asian restaurant much better then this, cause the store they have there.☺️ Also best silverware and plates I have ever used in a restaurant. Would have beeen happier if they had used table cloth!

    This was our favorite place that we ate in Lisbon, and we did two Michelin starred restaurants on that trip. We sat at the bar and watched the cooks perform their different roles and enjoyed every second. The food, service, and ambiance were all just perfect. Wouldn’t have changed a thing. Bravo! Will definitely return if ever in Lisbon again.

    For a Thursday night here in Lisbon…the bar was PACKED!! We didn’t have a reservation (you can walk-in, but make a reservation if you can) so that last minute idea to go cost us an additional 30min wait time on top of the wait for our food. Since we didn’t have a reservation for the restaurant, we were told the bar was the next best thing. You can still order food at one of the many side tables around the bar. There is certainly an ambiance that eludes to money + class here. 🤷🏽‍♀️ *shrugs* Honestly, I love it! There are beautifully dressed people in expressive conversation in many languages with raised glasses clinging as toast to “the good life” fill the air. It took quite a while for someone to seat us, but the vibe was buzzing and the service was overall is pretty good. We had the fish soup — divine✨ A vegetable pasta — terribly bland (not shown) A wonderful Reserved Red wine 🍷🙌🏽 And their Dinosaur Dessert 🍨✨ (super sweet but very yummy) If we didn’t have to wait as long and if the main dish (pasta) was better, this would have been a 5-star experience. Either way, I certainly plan to visit again!

    Very fancy Restaurant😍 was very funny but a little bit pricey. Taste was ok but the Dino dessert was phenomenal. The Toilets was the coolest Part of the Restaurant.

    This posh restaurant is very accessible for everyone. Prices are reasonable and you get very honest dishes out of it. The staff is efficient yet very friendly and correct. Wide choices in dessert and wines! Excellent to end your day in Lisbon, but try to dress up to match with the other guests if you can ;)

    Stunning place for dinner nice seats and interiors, service was impeccable and food was unreal. Probably the best steak I’ve ever had (pictured below could’ve easily fed two people) veal was also amazing. Do not skip out on the asparagus!!! Would highly recommend :)

    Incredible food, amazing, super friendly and attentive servers. Great experience overall. Please note they suggest a 7.5% service charge on the already steep bill. I’m not a supporter of tipping culture, but in this case it’s justified as the level of service was well above average and we had the impression that the staff genuinely cared about the quality of their service.

    Here for my sisters birthday. Went down to the bar first for drinks, which were served really good, nice atmosphere. Great service but you pay for it as it is very expensive. Ordered 6 large G&T's, a white wine, a red , a beer and a soft drink, bill came to €217. The food in the restaurant was really good, and the service and atmosphere was great. Lovely decor, with a dinosaur skeleton in the middle, quite pricey but you get what you pay for. I had the smoked salmon for starters and the pork cheek for mains and both were delicious.

    By far, my favorite spot in Lisbon! I dont think Ive ever had a more tasteful steak! And the drinks were too good too! We had: steak au poive, and the lamb which comes with delicious rice! Drinks were caipirinha and something with gin and basil. When you reach they get you water and bread with butter and olives. Overall price around €120 for 2 people if you opt for the meat. Make sure to reserve!

  • 5/5 Ben M. 2 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    Amazing venue! Service was super friendly and accommodating. The menu was a nice mix of modern Portuguese fair and dishes inspired by the Portuguese forays into India and the Far East. Prices are on the high side. Expect to pay €30 to €40+ per main course. The wine list represents the best of Portugal and other global highlights. Wine prices start around €40 per bottle and go up from there. Overall, we really enjoyed it. It felt like a special evening. Try and visit the bar in the basement - another gorgeous venue! If you think the restaurant is beautiful, you'll be wowed by the bar.

    We had an amazing experience in this place! The food was fantastic! The service was unbelievable!! The place is charming!! We had an issue with our arrival time due to a missing luggage when we landed, and the staff were so helpful and understandable to our situation, we had to come with our luggage straight from the airport. This restaurant has the BEST SERVICE IN THE WORLD!!!

    This restaurant was the perfect choice for my friend’s birthday dinner. We were 13 people who flew from London to celebrate, and we had a reservation months before. When we arrived, the staff greeted us warmly. They arranged us into two tables that were close to each other. They were friendly and attentive, smiling at us and making us feel welcome. The birthday girl was very happy. Both of the tables received water and menu right away, and we had a lot of options to choose from. We enjoyed the food and drinks, and the staff even brought a cake with candles for the birthday girl. We asked for the bill, and the manager gave us a generous discount. He thanked us for choosing their restaurant and wished us a happy birthday. This was the best experience ever. I would give them five stars and more.

    We celebrated my fiancé his birthday at this restaurant. Great atmosphere and good food. Dj in the bathroom was so much fun! They put bread and olives on the table which we didn’t ask for and didn’t like but had to pay. That is why it’s 4 stars instead of 5.

    100% you have to eat and experience JNCQUOI in Lisbon, Portugal. We over ordered because the menu was so mouthwatering and what we saw on the tables of the other guests had us so excited to try the cuisine here. I had the cod which was perfectly cooked, plated and served for me to eat with absolute satisfaction. We shared plates and enjoyed everything to the last bite. The staff and chefs were great, attentive and very kind. We spoke English, Spanish and tried our broken Portuguese with a little embarrassment. Highly recommend JNCQUOI and if you live or frequent Lisbon look into the membership they offer. Can't wait to go back. Thanks for the great experience.

    Great ambiance, good customer service and location. Price is on the high side but it’s justify with its quality of food and service. We had a wonderful evening and will be back for sure :)

  • 5/5 Jan L. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent food, great ambiance and attentive service. You can find typical Portuguese dishes as well as a multitude of European classics. The venue seems to be always booked out, so I recommend reserving in advance.

  • 5/5 Leo D. 2 years ago on Google
    JNcQUOI is the trendy place in Lisbon. It is definitely worthy to come and dine. Despite the pricy menu, the dishes are amazing and very tasty. T he decoration of the place makes posh but elegant and cosmopolitan. The servíce is perfect and the staff knows well how to please the guests. I recommend to book t and try the food here and certainly try the desserts they are very nice and yummy.

    The staff was very welcoming & professional, the decor pretty nice & sober, but after all the most important thing is food, which was honestly really basic, without particular flavor, we were expecting a lot more from this place, & we’ve had much better food in less expensive places; if you decide to go there lower your culinary expectations, or visit the bar downstairs which is really nice
