10/10This restaurant has inviting atmosphere with soft lighting and modern decor. I ordered the signature Bifana which was delicious and very different from the original style, I much prefer Santa Joana bifana. I had a leek and a beef tartare with fries for the main. The leek was the best, they were all mouth watering and perfectly cooked. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable making us welcome from the moment we walked in. It was worth every penny. I would highly recommend this place!

10/10The service, the food, the ambiance are absolutely perfect. This is our favorite restaurant in Lisbon. In my opinion is way, way better than other restaurants with Michelin stars. We moved to Portugal 3 years ago and Santa Joana is our “go to” place when we want to get a five star dining experience.

This is the BEST culinary experience we’ve had in Portugal since we’ve been living here in three years. We have been to Michelin rated restaurants here and in my opinion this restaurant surpasses them by far. It will not surprise me if they get a Michelin star soon. They truly deserve it.

10/10Best food we have had during our 3 month trip to Europe! Lovely service from wait staff and charming sommelier. Small menu but every element has a purpose. Cool vibe and beautiful space. Highly recommend.

Thank you for the superlatives! To stand out after 3 months in Europe means a lot to us. And the greatest compliment of all is when you said, 'highly recommend.' Obrigado!

+1The food, the service and the ambiance was beyond excellent. We shared 3 starters of oysters, blue fin tuna carpaccio, and grilled romaine hearts with assorted breads….and then shared dessert….this was really more than enough food for two. We also ordered and shared a main course for 2/3 of sea bass which although excellent was probably too much food for two. I would absolutely return to Santa Joana. The staff were very knowledgeable and attentive. This has to be one of the best restaurants in Lisbon….thank you Santa Joana team for an amazing experience.

7/10Very expensive for what you get. Standard, high end dining with little that was truly memorable. There are far better restaurants in Lisbon.
