JNcQUOI Avenida

Exceptional Experience at JNCQUOI – A Must-Visit in Lisbon! My husband and I had the pleasure of enjoying an unforgettable evening at the bar counter of JNCQUOI in Lisbon, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by an impeccable team of professionals who made us feel completely at ease. The service was flawless—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely hospitable. Sitting at the bar counter allowed us to interact with the staff throughout the evening, and their expertise, friendliness, and passion for what they do made our time there even more special. The wine selection was outstanding, offering a remarkable journey through exquisite flavors that perfectly complemented our experience. Each recommendation was spot-on, enhancing our enjoyment and making every sip memorable. We will definitely return and highly recommend it to those seeking an unforgettable bar counter experience!

We love this place. Food is so good. Price is considered high, as this restaurant is a fine-dining restaurant. On the first level is restaurant, below level they have bar and dj music area near the restroom. When we went, the dj music was running. We were recommended with red wine which tastes nice. I had tomatoes soup, and wow that’s so good, I like it so much!

This restaurant was recommended by several people. We were not disappointed. They even have a DJ in the bar and a clothing store downstairs!

Please don’t hesitate on booking a time slot for the Gastro bar, I had the luck of being attended by Vera, who was so kind, and attentive. She provided us great recommendations on the menu, that we ended up staying more than 3 hours and repeat items on the menu. The food is delicious, the service is flawless and the place is impeccable! The Dj is in the bathroom for more amusement 🤩😅, will be definitely going back 🙌🏾

We visited this establishment with a group of five. Our reservation was to start at 22:00, but we arrived a bit early, so the table was understandably not ready. We left and returned at 22:05, and had to wait 15 minutes. Speaks for the popularity of this restaurant i suppose. Food was generally well received in our group, but there were a few problems. I had the ceviche which was served from a deep bowl. Not optimal as i was troubled to get the last bites with the large fork provided. All the juices were concentrated in the bottom. I would recommend a flat plating for such a dish. My friend had the baby eel dish, which was served with cheap wooden cutlery (i'm really talking about the cheapest, most simple disposable fork and knife) with the regular cutlery. The server explained that the metal cutlery might negatively affect the taste of the dish - this is fine. What wasn't so great, was the answer to the question, "would you recommend using the wooden utensils, then?". My friend was told basically, "I wouldn't use them, but it is up to you". The dish proved impossible to eat with the wooden cutlery, so the waiters asked if my friend would like a spoon? The whole ordeal with the cutlery seemed unnecessary and a bit humiliating. Just get better wooden utensils (there are nice ones) or provide what is needed for the diner at the start (a spoon?). And i think that the job of the waitstaff is not to question the choices made by the chef or the maitre d', but to carry them out and to defend the serving plan without question. When time for desserts came, we were provided with a "menu" in the style of a tray containing the available selection. This was nice! But at no point were we asked whether we wanted for some coffee or other drinks with our desserts. All during the service plates were set, then taken away although our orders were known. The table was rather cramped for five. The waitstaff constructed plating of some dishes on the table - portion size varied a lot between guests who had the same thing. All in all a bit troubled and confusing experience, requiring much communication with the servers. Food was of high quality and the ingredients fresh and delicious. Premises are luxurious and interesting. I suppose i expected a bit more co-ordination.

Our first dinner in Lisbon and we may have ruined the rest of the trips meals for ourselves because it was one of the best meals we've ever had 🤤 Steak Tartare💕 Lamb Shoulder with oven baked rice & greens 💕 Iberian Pork Plumas💕 Truffled Potato Puree💕 Raspberry Mille Feuille 💕 I don't even have words to describe this meal except that everything was bursting with flavour, lamb shoulder was fall off the bone soft and Iberian Pork was so tender and juicy. Even the sides were incredible, especially the truffled potato puree and baked rice. Each item in its own category was the best I've ever had compared to everything I've ever tried 🥹 I'm so sad JNC restaurants don't exist in Toronto 😫 guess I'll have to come back to Lisbon 😂

We tried getting reservations, but they were booked for the time frame we would be in town. So we showed up to see if we could get a table. We dis not. However, we were able to get seats at the bar downstairs. They serve the same food as the restaurant. The bar is awesome. Great atmosphere, cool decorations, and amazing staff and service. We ordered the roasted eggplant as an appetizer. For our mains, the Iberian pork "plumas" and prawns in red curry sauce. The food was amazing, with great flavors and good portions. Our server was very helpful and friendly. She gave us great recommendations and was very attentive. JNcQuoi should be a must if you're in Lisboa.

Fine dining experience The concept is quite interesting as it has food from all over Asia. The food is solid and the service is of great quality. Prices are higher than average. Would go again for a special occasion.

Really enjoyed this Asian Hawker food type restaurant. Don't get me wrong, by Hawker, I mean a diverse offering of Asian food that I fell in love with during my many years of travel in Asia. This is an upscale trendy place, with a great vibe to enjoy the incredible food. Make a reservation early. Service was top notch. We started with some sushi, which was very good. Then moved on to some Taiwanese soup dumplings which were not as delicacy as Din Tai Fung, but still delicious. Ended the meal with some chicken & noodles which was also great. Can't wait to visit again next time I'm in Lisbon. Cheers!

Great spot when you are in he shopping district. We were at the downstairs bar area - ordered the Iberico pork pluma which was very flavorful. The lobster "hot dog" is a hit with a nice soft bun and fresh lobster salad. Wine by the bottle is reasonably priced. Service is super attentive. The ambiance is contemporary and lively.

One of my favorite restaurants from our Spain/Portugal trip! Service was fantastic, as was the food. This is an upscale restaurant with a nice ambiance - complete with a framed dinosaur skeleton as part of the decor. Everything we had here was delicious, including the salad, tartare, steak, and tiramisu. The Dinosaur Drool dessert came highly recommended but we weren't in the mood for it that night - would be interested in trying it next time though! They have a well rounded wine/drink menu as well.

The food was pretty good, but my review has to do with questionable business practices. My wife ordered a glass of House Cava. Upon being told that the restaurant had no Cava, she was offered a glass of champagne. She said yes and consumed it. It was fine; nothing amazing. Upon receiving the bill, we saw that the glass of champagne cost 33 euros! We were never told that this was the price. Given that my wife ordered a House Cava drink, this is outrageous and deceptive. No effort was made to reduce or remove the charge.

First dinner in Lisboa was at this beautiful restaurant. Service & ambiance is amazing. All servers from waiters to wine steward work to make a wonderful experience. The food was amazing. Stated with king crab salad, sooo good, and burata. Perfect with our sparkling port wine and second course of port white. Grilled prawns from East Africa tasted sweet like Maine lobster. Cod, prepared traditional Portuguese style was very good. Evan's pork loin was amazing with zip from garlic. Finished with dessert. Bathrooms are very unique with disco ball and DJ?!? Add some time to look around the beautiful/ fancy restaurant. It is is that. At the same time, it doesn't feel LA style, where they try to hard to be cool. It just is.

A few people recommended this spot in Lisbon, specifically for the sushi. While the fish was fairly fresh, as a Californian I don't think the sushi was THAT good. Plus the prices seemed a bit high for the quality. The ambience was nice, but felt a little too uptight and sceney (coming from someone in LA). We ran a few minutes late and when I called the woman said not to worry and to take my time. Yet when we arrived the host very rudely said "your reservation started at 7:15 so you have to give us the table back at 9:15." Yet the service took so long (20 min to get the check) that we did not leave by 9:15, so I don't see why she so rudely suggested that. The service was incredibly slow - after ordering my drink from the waiter, the same waiter asked me 10 min later "do you want anything to drink?"

I was here (Lisbon) on a tour and ventured out solo for dinner and ended up here at the bar!! The restaurant was fully booked with no reservations available!! I was 100% satisfied with the bar service!! They were great!! What a great find!! The staff, the ambience and the food were all amazing! I started with oysters, which I was hesitant eating oysters on the half shell, but they were nice and plump and tasty. I asked the bar tender if he could make me his next Ild Fashioned and add a filthy cherry and he knocked it out the park. Something as simple as French fries!! Their fries were the perfect combination of crisp edges and a soft center!! I don't remember exactly what the name if my entree was, but I do remember it was good. Everything was great and when I return to Lisbon, I will definitely dine here again!!

It's a hard place to get a reservation and we were fortunate to get a reservation a week in advance so plan ahead. The interior and decor of the restaurant is esthetically pleasing and one of the best Ive seen in Lisbon. It's very nicely designed with an "open kitchen" concept. The food is good. We tried the cod fritters, lettuce salad, fish and seafood soup, JNCQUOI veal, and linguini vongole. The cod fritters were fluffy and stuffed with an adequate amount of cod...arguably probably some of the best I've had throughout Portugal. The lettuce salad was disappointing...it was a bibb lettuce drizzled with a very small dab of oil and would have been much better if it had some sort of vinaigrette or acid. The fish soup, veal, linguini with clams were all executed well and very tasty. Service was a little slow, but overall the dining experience was good. And it's a good place for people watching. That's where the goodness ends...after dinner at the suggestion of the sommelier, we attempted to go to the bar downstairs for a drink, only to be told that we would have to wait in the outside queue for the bar patrons. Um, no thank you...we left!!! I'd rather spend my money at a business that appreciates my patronage. After spending hundreds of Euros on a meal upstairs, no dining patron should have to wait in a queue with the regular bar customers. On that basis alone, I would not recommend JNCQUOI Avenida.

This place is a solid 10. The staff was amazing. The restaurant itself should be on the cover of Architectural Digest. The food - the food could easily be the standard for which all other restaurants could be ranked against. Everything we tried was a 10.

I hate an anti-Black dress code. I say this with intention because the rules are exclusively enforced for Black people. Security (Michael) aggressively told me I could not wear a fashionable Alexandre Mattiussi vest that I had purchased earlier at the connected shops. However, when inside I witnessed several non-Black patrons in ath-leisure attire, including tube-tops , with no straps. I'm not sure how the rules are applied but they are not fairly across race, sex and gender.

Ambiance at this place is gorgeous - don't have my phone to take pics but I wouldn't have to begin with, as it's classy and chic place. Patrons know the maitre d' and you can tell that it's regulars that frequent the place. Food is on average side - I didn't expect a place like this to have the best food. Places like this have great location but the food aspect is never there - it's mediocre and it's Percy for what you get. Some dishes bland others too much flavoring - ... textures are not cohesive and don't work all at once. Too many flavors going on - needs Refinement. Staff can use slightly polishing w smiling and actually being happy that they're busy as they wouldn't have a job w out the patrons, so be kind next time. Reason why I went in as I like to see what treatment I would get w no reservation - let's say the host was most accommodating and took me in w open arms. You def need reservations ahead of time and you def need to tip the host and the staff - again can use training. Food - 6 Ambiance - 7 people were dressed w tennis shoes (it's disrespectful to come in w dirty tennis shoes in this type of place) Acoustics - 8 (too loud) Cleanliness of bathroom - 10 Host - 10 Staff - 5 Overall 7.5

We have dined all over the world and this team at JNÊQUOI ASIA was absolutely amazing. Not only the food was beyond amazing, the service put us over the top. We had met our time limit at the table and the staff politely let us know, got us a table on the patio, and when it started raining (before we could say anything) they moved us under an umbrella. We would absolutely dine her again..."

Beautiful restaurant yet a little pretentious. The restaurant had a spectate bar area that looked more fun The food was good the wait staff was good but underwhelming when you consider the overall price of dinner

From the moment we arrived, every moment of our dining experience was outstanding. We had the most amazing server named Pedro who was seriously the best server we've ever had! The restaurant itself is quite impressive. It feels upscale and chic, yet has an old-school cool This was hands down our favorite restaurant in Lisbon. The food and service was better than the 2 Michelin starred restaurants that were triple the price of our meal at JNcQUOI! Between the 4 of us, we ordered: Lobster and Grouper Rice - we ordered this as an appetizer and shared it between two of us. It was delicious! It's a brothy rice dish with generous chunks of grouper and lobster. Barbeque Ribs with French fries - my friend loved the ribs and said it had the perfect amount of heat. The fries are fantastic! Veal Cutlet - melt-in-your mouth tender, served with grilled asparagus and French fries. I think this was our favorite! Confit Cod - this was a special dish that isn't regularly on the menu. It had a creamy base made with bread topped with a generous portion of cod. It was very rich. I was only able to eat half of it! I'm glad I trusted our waiter who highly recommended it. Our waiter brought us multiple re-fills of their complimentary delicious bread basket of flatbread, bread sticks, and sliced bread with butter. For dessert, we also followed our server's recommendation of his two favorites: Chocolate Dome with Praline - amazing! Raspberry Confit Tart - my favorite! Coffee was excellent. It will be the meal we all remember most when we think of our time in Lisbon!

: @jncquoi.world in Lisboa, Portugal (Verdict: No Potatoes) We give the atmosphere and of course the food... an A+! No matter how old you are or where you come from, JNcQUOI has such a great trendy vibe that will never make you feel out of place. The DJ set combined with the the very flavorful fine cuisine dishes.... definitely recommend. @vinopotato THE RESTAURANT Where the old meets the new. Part of the iconic Tivoli building, we have kept the high ceilings and a classy yet contemporary decoration creating a sophisticated atmosphere. JNcQUOI Avenida Restaurant highlights the Portuguese cuisine and international bestsellers always with a surprising twist.

Beautiful restaurant, truly. Service was poor and food was very mediocre at best. Ps. They WILL charge you for those bread sticks, they're not complimentary. We got charged twice but I didn't notice until after we left

I didn't eat at this new location which is Asian themed but I have been to the other location before. The decor is wonderful and watching the staff prepare the sushi was awesome as they pay attention to detail. I only had a cocktail here and can't wait to return to have dinner.

This restaurant was just steps from our hotel, but transformed us to another world. I looked to make a reservation, but it wasn't available on line. We just walked in and got seated immediately. The decor is engaging and our server, Joao, couldn't have been more personable. The meal here is not inexpensive, but the quality and preparation of the Asian fusion menu is creative and every course was delicious. A great value, if it's in your price range. The ambience is lively, yet conversation was easy. While the main dining room is elegant, the terrace would have been very comfortable even in this cooler evening. The carmelized spare ribs were a bit salty, but well seasoned. Use the lime included on the plate to cut the saltiness and it is perfect. The crab wonton soup was delightful. The black cod was a true highlight. And the serving was ample. Don't miss the black cod. It is exceptional.

My wife and I visited on our Anniversary April 12th. We had an amazing experience from the moment we walked in with the friendly staff and lively ambience. Food and drinks were all great and would highly recommend anyone in Lisbon to make this a part of your plans.

Excellent and a must stop while in Lisbon. The service is exceptional and the food to die for and cocktails out of this world.

Very trendy and cool restaurant in the heart of Lisbon! Good food and service. Highly recommended.

Great service. Lovely atmosphere. Tasty food. My fave restaurant in Lisboa. Totally recommend.

What a beautiful restaurant. The service was great! The food was presented so beautifully. The ingredients were so fresh and flavorful. The portions were a good size for the price. The maracuja cocktail is a must try!

food was really good but be prepared to eat in a rush because you are told by the hostess you have a 2 hr frame to eat. so no matter what you order " you HAVE TO RUSH". Not only that, but we were seated on a booth super uncomfortable and ask to have another table ( and even though they have available tables) their response was that no one complained before. As I said, food was great but, you go to have a relaxing and enjoyable time and you start with a bitter taste at the place. at least the waiters outside (where we ended up seating) were superb

The bar was amazing. Great environment and great service. English friendly. My friends ate dinner upstairs and thought it was great, I met them for drinks down stairs and was impressed. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Brought my wife, son, his friend and GF. Had to take bar seats because booked solid but all loved everything- from wonderful hostess, to great servers to incredible bartenders. Order ton of Apps and sushi and then some main plates to share. A continuous flow of sumptuous food. And so great to get soup dumplings which can be hard to find. Not my first time and most definitely not my last.

Great service but the food takes the experience to another level. Well done and the ambiance is amazing as well.

We had the most horrible experience. I made a reservation for our 7th year anniversary and specifically noted when I made the reservation online. our reservation was for 6:30. The starters came together with the drinks we order as aperitifs. Than around 8:30, just after we finished the main course the waiter came and told us that we need to leave since "very important guests are coming" and they need the very table we sit. We asked if he could maybe switch the table for another one, since this table is really important for the people who will be arriving. They said that they are fully booked, but we can have our deserts downstairs in the bar. Later at 9:30, while we were leaving we realized that actually they still had many available tables and we were the only people who were removed from our table just because they wanted to give our table to someone they know. We paid 420 euros for 4 people. We were really upset to be treated like junk. This is a very expensive restaurant and the way they treat you is not acceptable at all so I wouldn't recommend it unless you are portuguese since they only respect locals there.

First you must learn how to pronounce the name. JNcQUOI= in English " jay Nis Cee Qua ". At least thats how it sounds to me. Anyway, what a fantastic dining experience. I hope the pictures do it justice. Hard table to reserve. 3 week waiting list. The menu is a Combination of Asian, Japanese, Indian, etc. Very nice combinations. Wine list was great. Focused on Portugal as a region. The service was good. Waiter was funny. Forgot a couple things but not a big deal. Ordered spring rolls and crab and cucumber salad for apps. Very good. The crab was a bit fishy. But the vinaigrette in the salad covered it up well. I had sashimi fir dinner. It was good. Presentation was ok. Not a whole lot of work put in to it. Place is a bit pricey. But I get it. The place is beautiful. Very nice decor. One of the nicest looking places I have ever been in. I would suggest you go. I would return. 4 stars.

Our second time to Lisbon, and a must for a return to our favorite restaurant. We were lucky 5 years ago to experience this lovely place and it's only got better!

The vibe here was great, lovely opulent green velvet couches, soft lighting. Our waitress Rafaela was lovely! We had the burrata with ham as a starter, the chateaubriand, the rice, and caipirinhas which were all perfect. Will be back!

It lives up to its reviews. Large portions. Tornados, which is steak and frites with mushroom gravy was delicious. The lamb leg was served with dirty rice and greens. It is a classic must have. The Portuguese wine list was inexpensive but exceptional. The restaurant is in the Tivoli play house and the historic murals are preserved. I haven't sampled many of the Lisbon restaurants, but I need no comparisons to recommend jncquoi without reservation.

Beautiful wine bar we found situated next to our hotel. This place is definitely a a high-end wine bar. I wouldn't consider this place kid friendly, but they were willing to take us in with our sleeping baby in the stroller. The service here is outstanding, something you rarely see in Portugal/Spain. Their wines are a little pricey but they have an excellent selection. We end up finding one of our favorite local wines here. They also have an adjoining Laduree macaroon bar here so if you want macaroons with your wine, you're in luck. 5 stars for the service and environment.

This was highly recommended to us. We were treated VERY rudely by who looked to be the manager after the hostess told we could be seated outside for the 10 minutes until the restaurant opened. He told us to "get out of the chairs now!" I tried to explain that the hostess had told us to wait there but he just kept saying "Out!!" The place looks nice...the management however is not. No stars for this place!

Just walking through the door you will feel luxurious and welcomed! The greeters are happy and polite. I came for a drink after shopping and the place was followed with well dressed patrons socializing. They have a store of their own but it sells menswear The decor is impeccable and the baristas are attentive. The drinks are priced moderately in conjunction with all other restaurants. @therichaunt

A beautifully decorated restaurant located at Avenida da Liberdade, one of the main addresses of Lisbon. Besides the place being cool, the food and service were amazing - specially the very friendly sommelier, Pedro. Prices are reasonable and the quality of the food makes it very worthwhile. There is also a tapa bar downstairs which I didnt go, but seemed like a cool place for drinks.

Beautiful restaurant! Great food and service for an upscale experience. I return every time I come to Lisbon to get the lobster salad. Highly recommend!

The ambiance was nice, and the service was great, but the food was just good, not great. Maybe didn't order the right things?

Very classy place! Waiters know their menu like the back of their hand! I came here for my birthday and everything I ordered was delicious

Came highly recommended. HUGE disappointment. Food was meh. 2 stars because the restaurant had a good ambiance and was a nice place. Cod fish (recommended by our waitress) was chewy and did not taste fresh. When we told our waitress, she got really snobby and tried to insinuate that we've never had cod before. It was offensive. Then she offered to pack it "to go" because we barely ate any of it. Took a bad situation and made it worse. They also charged us for bread (which we never ordered, they just brought it over), and water (which was tap water, and not even cold). Service was awful - had 3 different waitresses. Happy to spend $$$ if the food is good - we are used to it, coming from NYC. However, this was the worst meal we had in Lisbon.

Delibar. Walking in and so much to take in. Maybe a nice glass of wine and a bite. This was such a great pause in our afternoon, and service welcoming and warm, the atmosphere relaxing.

Best food and ambiance! Highly recommended. We had croquettes with Tomatoe rice! OMG! Also try the Brie with truffles. Best food in Potugal!!!

My friend and I were wandering the streets of Lisbon for some food when we happened to stumble into this place. The place was happening! And there were a lot of trendy looking locals dining which is never a bad sign. We were able to get a seat at the bar right away and was served by a cute and friendly waitress who thankfully spoke very good English. The food and drinks were very good and the atmosphere superb. They also have a live DJ spinning music, ironically from the bathroom area. I know this sounds weird, but definitely check out the bathrooms, as you feel as if you are about to board a spaceship! I mostly had beer so I unfortunately cannot comment on their wines. My friend had an old fashion and he said it was good. We had oysters which were fresh and tasty, although perhaps not as good as the Ones from the Northern coast of Vancouver Island which I am used to. Overall, if you want a cool and trendy spot for some tapas and drinks away from the craziness of Bairro Alto, this is a great spot!

This review is written for the person who ordered the tiger shrimp because it sounded delicious and is now anxiously googling "how to eat tiger shrimp" on their phone under the table (or in the bathroom--also a good choice). I actually can't answer that question because I still have no idea, but I'm writing this review for you because I feel your pain. Ok so real talk: the food is fucking delicious. I had the white asparagus, the tiger shrimp (as you know), and the house made flan. I also had a glass of the quinta de soalheiro, which is what they call a green wine, or Vinho Verde, so named because it is young and not, in fact, green. This particular vinho verde was delicious. I'm not a wine expert, but it was dry and feisty and a perfect compliment to the shrimp. The asparagus was gloriously fresh and perfectly cooked, but definitely oversauced. (Everything in moderation, gang.) The tiger shrimp were PERFECT. Seriously, I had so much anxiety about how to eat these, but they were drowning in butter (everything in moderation, including moderation, gang) and delectable. So juicy. So succulent. If you get a dessert, get the house made flan. I was a bit disappointed that all the other desserts on offer were Ladurée, though I shouldn't have been surprised given the contrived contents of their website. Speaking of which, look at the website. It is absolute nonsense and hilarious. (FWIW, I went at the shrimp with my hands and everybody seemed OK with it, including the men sitting next to me at the bar, who looked very fancy and smelled nice and the kitchen staff who looked very nice and smelled like butter. So instead of sneaking to the bathroom to watch that instructional YouTube video with sound, take a deep breath and do what's in your heart. Be the enfant terrible of the enfant terrible of restaurants! Lol that website.)

At the downstairs bar we found room right away and did not need a reservation. They had a great cheese and meats selection that are perfect for sharing. The food tasted great, but definitely a bit pricey. There was a large selection of drinks including wines and cocktails. The best espresso martini my group had ever had! I would definitely recommend the bar for some snacks and a drink in the evening or afternoon.

Went to the downstairs bar. Service was confusing - first the staff circulating the bar took our drink order then the bartender took our food order. He seemed to be barely listening to our order as he was paying attention to another customer at the same time. We (two of us) ordered two salads and shrimp cocktail when he interrupted us to ask - isn't that a lot of food? So we cancelled the shrimp cocktail but they ended up bringing it to us anyways. When he presented the food he said "here's all the healthy food, right?!". It's a shame they have such a bad egg ruining the service here - they had a female manager/sommelier that seemed lovely and would have liked to interact with her more. But we were too disgusted and left after eating our "healthy" food.

Do not eat oysters. On Saturday February 3, five people ate oysters and have been at the doctor since yesterday. It is unacceptable for a restaurant of this level to serve spoiled food.
