Update: using cinnamon as an antiviral, we were able to recover in about a day. Trip was not ruined.
I updated the stars.
Old from March 6:
Got sick. A lot of dialog about this and we are sure; we got food poisoning from this restaurant. Frankly, I am not sure how it would be possible, but here we are. I had been fasting during travel to Lisboa. It was at least a 2 day fast. And the only food we shared was from this restaurant. To the degree we are sick, seems to infer the amount consumed. She consumed less than I, and she is suffering from stomach pain, the feeling of vomiting, and diarrhea. I have a fever, stomach pain, diarrhea, my skin burns, and I have a headache. We both also have the chills. Im not sure how or why it happened. We had no bad or offensive interactions with staff. I thought I tipped well. The lady and staff seemed nice. I hesitate telling people what happened but I am sick on a $1,800 per day trip. Im furious and im not letting this go. When people either innocently or purposefully ruin my vacation, I have to do something about it.
The food, wasnt great. The drinks, werent great... and as usual at JNCQ...the bill was around $250.
The place is beautifully décored, and the staff seemed professional despite the outcome of our interactions.
