JNcQUOI Table

The cooking and the experience

The cooking is contemporary, based on good produce and classic technique, designed to please those who like to eat well without fuss. The menu caters for different appetites, so it works for a long meal or something more straightforward. Service is attentive and professional, in keeping with the address. Ask for wine suggestions: it's a good way to get to know Portuguese labels. If you have any dietary restriction, mention it when you book so the kitchen can prepare.

The room and what to expect

JNcQUOI is known for its attention to design and a dining room with the feel of a big urban restaurant, full of details. The atmosphere is lively, especially at dinner, with a crowd that likes to see and be seen. Dress with some care, as it's the kind of room where it shows. A jacket isn't compulsory, but hiking trainers are better left at the hotel.

It's also a good choice for a business lunch or a group dinner, as long as you book in time. At lunch the pace is calmer, handy for talking without raising your voice. At dinner the room takes on a different energy and the meal tends to stretch on.

Avenida da Liberdade and around

Avenida da Liberdade links Restauradores to Marquês de Pombal and is great for walking, with gardens, terraces and Portuguese pavements as far as the eye can see. Before the meal, you can walk up to Parque Eduardo VII to see the city sloping down to the Tagus, or head down to Rossio. Close at hand are the Glória funicular and the São Pedro de Alcântara viewpoint.

For shoppers, the Avenida's boutiques are on the doorstep. After dinner, Príncipe Real is one climb away, with quiet bars to end the night.
