La Joya Cantina - Review - São Bento - Lisbon - The Infatuation

"La Joya Cantina is the rare Argentinian and Portuguese mash-up in Lisbon we didn’t know we needed. This intimate bistrot, located between São Bento and Chiado, is packed nightly with locals chasing what might be the city’s best milanesa, or meat empanadas that are punchy, and equally crunchy and soft. They’ve crammed in as many tables as possible, but you’ll still fight for a seat just to ensure their dulce de leche pancakes are in the cards for the night. The food smartly blends Argentine roots with Portuguese (and broader European) touches. Think grilled octopus and roasted leeks with almond purée." - Rita Geraldes

My friends and I had a delightful dining experience here! Yes the space is a bit tight (think cute and intimate vibe), but we loveddd the food (get the anchovies - trust me) and house wine, and the service from our lovely servers was super kind and friendly! ☺️ We would definitely come back the next time we’re in Lisbon. 🥰

A wonderful, intimate spot for a memorable dinner. We chose it for our final night in Lisbon and couldn’t have been happier with the food — every dish was excellent, and the staff were warm and attentive throughout. The only downside was that, despite having a reservation, we waited about 30 minutes for our table. Still, the experience was well worth it, and this is definitely a place I’d recommend trying!

Overall good food, and a fun experience. Beautiful dishes, not over priced(!), but I guess the noise in the restaurant puts stress on the staff (as well as the guests), and the result is a bit burnt and too salty food. Really good place that could easily become great.

LOVED IT! I went there on a date with my boyfriend and tried several dishes. We were recommended the day’s special and we were not disappointed. My absolute favourite was the cheese empanada, I could eat several for dinner

I'll start by saying the staff is amazing here, very attentive since we walked in and super helpful. The table situation didn't feel ideal, they might have one too many - it’s quite crammed to the point where the person sat next to us almost knocked our water bottle while getting up to leave. The food was good, some dishes better than the others. The leek was good as was the empanada and Milanese, but the polenta on the other hand, was amazing, and so were the pancakes with dulce de leche and the flan. Some good wine selections, we tried a few and liked them all. I’d go back for the pancake :)

Best, least - pretentious, most awesome canteen in Lisbon. It doesnt shows off complex or trending decoration. Its a place that has its own personality and makes you feel you are on the right spot. The menu is original and perfectly balanced, the drinks incredible, the staff the coolest and to top it off, it has canteen prices. An honest concept.

We passed by Joya to reach the restaurant where we had reservation but arriving to the destination we just go back and we had the chance to found a place because it was full ! We enjoyed our dinner. Simple place but Perfect vibe . Staff was very nice, kind and smiley. We really recommend you to have dinner or lunch their to discover the deli dishes designed by the chef… We took the anchovies and leeks the. Followed by the octopus and gnocchi and we finish with te pancakes and chocolate mousse
