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. 🥰

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

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.

I m from Toronto and was staying nearby when I stumbled upon this gem of a bar — and I’m so glad I did! The vibe is amazing, the ambience is warm and inviting, and the people are absolutely wonderful. Do yourself a favor and try their vermu liquor — I can guarantee you won’t forget it. A must-visit spot in Lisbon! Also do try flan

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

My partner and I visited here for our first meal out in Lisbon. We received a very warm welcome from the servers here, whose service was incredible the whole evening. The vibe in the restaurant is stylish, classy and not overdone, and has a fun and unpretentious atmosphere. The food was incredible, special shout out to the octopus and polenta which were our favourite dishes. No notes at all, an exceptional experience, thank you!
