10/10I always enjoy coming here when in Lisbon. It's such a magical setting - starting with the fact that on the outside it's just a nondescript door on a quiet street, so you have to know that it's there, and you have to have made a reservation. This already makes you feel privileged, and then you get to sit in the anteroom to get your first glimpse of the house and all the artifacts, typewriters of all models and ages. Then you are escorted down to the leafy patio, strung with lights around every umbrella. And then you are blown away by the food. The dishes are very unique and creative and always delicious. this time I had the eggplant in a caramel sauce with pistachios, which may sound weird but trust me, it's so good. And the prawn/mango risotto was excellent as well. I can highly recommend Clube de Jornalistas to anyone, though part of me would prefer to keep it an insider's secret!

10/10The restaurant rested on a very steep hill in one of Lisbon’s many narrow streets. Upon gaining entrance (door bell top left) I was impressed at how this was once a very grand home. I was escorted into the large courtyard with many sun shades all beautifully lit, one gets the send of travelling back in time… The service was impeccable the manager was warm, friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and the house wine (two glasses, I was a solo diner) was quite delicious. I shall definitely make a beeline for this delightful restaurant next time I’m in Lisbon and shall be forwarding their details to anyone whom I know is travelling to Lisbon. A uniquely wonderful experience… Warmest regards, Lilian

8/10The ambience were wonderful. Our outdoor seating in the back patio was refreshing. The appetizers were marvelous. Unfortunately, the main courses fell short, sounding good on the menu, but a bit over-cooked and somewhat dry.

10/10July 2025. It is very hot this week in Lissabon. We sat outside in the most romantic ‘garden’. The atmosphere is wonderful. The service is great - the food excellent. There is also huge area to sit inside in coldwr weather. We lived in this area during pur vacation and the whole area is so nice.

7.5/10The appetizers were delicious and the entrees were good. Our only gripe was with the service. Our server couldn’t tell us anything about the dishes or the wines. It made the overall dinner less pleasant.

+2We’re so glad we decided to visit on our last day in Lisbon — and even more glad we did! The food was absolutely perfect ! We loved the roasted eggplant, white fish ceviche, and veal carpaccio. For mains, we shared black pork neck, fish of the day, and octopus with sweet potato purée. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

10/10Fantastic meal and excellent service. The chef came and chatted to a few of us which was a nice touch. Really a most fantastic meal from start to finish, and a lovely outdoor setting more akin to the South of France.

9.5/10
I had seen the restaurant on a Topjaw video and was very intrigued by the risotto dishes. The ham and melon one wasn’t on the menu (I was so curious to try!) but the prawn and mango one we had was lovely. A very relaxing setting sitting outside. We had the last sitting before they closed for lunch and didn’t realise we were subtly being pressed to order dessert or leave. It would’ve been more helpful to know from the beginning so we knew the pace and when to finish by, instead of sitting and enjoying the experience longer than desired.

10/10I like this place. Nice isolated backyard with tables, tasty food, friendly staff. I had lunch there but in the evening darkness it should be even better, with all these tent lights shining on.

4/10So disappointed... The reviews for this place were great but we were really let down.. the ambiance was not that welcoming, the service was mediocre and the food was the real let down. We ordered the octopus and it really felt like we could have done a better job cooking it ourselves.. it seemed just boiled, barely seasoned, the sweet potato mash was so bland and dry.. Honestly such a waste of money, please don't be deceived

10/10A very different sort of restaurant. Much more than just great food , great staff and a great setting . . I can’t quite put my finger in it and it sounds trite to say that they care but maybe that’s it. A lovely experience. A restaurant to remember

10/10We were there to celebrate two birthdays. First of all, it is a unique place, different, peaceful, beautiful and elegant. The food is not to be forgotten and the service impecable. It is now my favorite place in Lisbon.

9.5/10So lucky to have found this gem! Our last day in Lisbon and randomly found this fantastic restaurant. We arrived an hour ahead of our reservation and they happily took us in and greeted us with a glass of champagne. Both of our meals were outstanding. She had the salmon and it was cooked perfectly. I had the beef cheeks and it was tender and full of flavor. The service was top notch from beginning to end. Possibly my favorite restaurant in Lisbon.
