Very 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!

The new potatoes and the Grilled Pork were to die for! Perfect service too. We particularly loved the dimly lit setting, great experience.

Special 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.

good, 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...

Amazing 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.

The meal didn’t quite hit the mark. While we were expecting a well-balanced dining experience, the food was heavily over-seasoned. The tartare, in particular, was a letdown—almost completely overshadowed by the overpowering spices, making it difficult to taste the meat itself. It wasn’t the flavor profile we had hoped for

Exquisite cuisine! Service was friendly and attentive, with a few teething problems, which is understandable in its implementation phase. As for ambience, there are different rooms, and although we were very happy where we were seated, I would not be so sure in other areas. The little cells are perfect for romance, but can be overlooked by staff. And the upper seating area can feel somewhat too crowded. But overall a great restaurant, and look forward to going back.
