10/10The ambience and the service were excelent. Also the food. The conventual pastery was delicious. However, the menu could have more options.

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.

Our group had been looking forward to eating at Santa Joana after reading all of the spectacular reviews from other patrons. When we arrived we were greeted with a smile and given a brief history of the location. After we were seated we waited a while for our server, but when he arrived he provided a very detailed description of the menu and recommendations for food. Since the pork entree got rave reviews, every one in our group ordered it. The server did mention it would be served medium rare but assured us that it was safe to consume. We did ask for a few starters and the steak tartare was generous and quite tasty. I got the mackerel fritter and although it was good, the portion was very tiny. After the starters we waited over 30 minutes for the main course. When it arrived, everyone’s pork was cooked in different stages of doneness. Mine was okay, but 2 others were raw and one overcooked. No one ever came to check on us and our waiter nowhere to be found. It was so disappointing!

9.5/10Special food. Everything well conceived and cooked. The pork was a standout. Sat at the bar as a solo traveler and they made me feel welcome. Could not recommend more positively.

8.5/10good, I must confess, but overpriced food. 55 eur seafood rice did not impress as much as it costs and the wine list is recklessly cruel, not leaving you any budget option. Bottles prices start from 60eur...

9.5/10Amazing food, the raw fish section is perfect. The service itself was really good, only complaint was a waiting time after the reservation hour. Around 15 minutes, but the employees were perfect. The ambience is amazing.
