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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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

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! read more

JNcQUOI - View from the bar - Portuguese Near Me - Lisbon, 11

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.) read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more
