JNčQUOI Asia

Food Style: Asian Fusion

If you’re craving Asian food while in Lisbon, then you need to visit JNčQUOI. It’s a fusion of Asian and Portuguese cuisine.

Lázaro Rosa Violán is the interior designer behind the restaurant’s lavish design. There are three unique dining areas: a restaurant, a terrace, and a bar. Their terrace is a great option if you want to spend the night outdoors, enjoying the Lisbon breeze. Grab a delicious cocktail and you’re set. The first thing I noticed when I walked into the restaurant was the giant dragon skeleton hanging from the ceiling. According to Chinese culture, the dragon represents enormous power, good luck, and strength.

What To Eat For Lunch & Dinner in Portugal?

Locals spend the majority of their day at work, so there aren’t many options for lunch. Most bring their own food or take advantage of Lisbon’s cheap eats. Lisbon’s cheap eats include deals such as soup, a main course, dessert, and coffee. Petiscos, little meals suited for sharing with guests, are the focus of supper. Another fanfavorite dish to indulge in while in Portugal is Salada de polvo (octopus salad) and pica-pau (small beef chunks).
