JNcQUOI Asia

A Destination, Not Just a Restaurant

In a city where old-world charm and modern energy coexist beautifully, JNcQUOI Asia stands out as a true destination — not just for dinner, but for an experience.

Located on the iconic Avenida da Liberdade, Lisbon’s equivalent of Paris’s Champs-Élysées, this restaurant isn’t something you stumble upon. It’s a place you plan for. A place you dress up for. A place where the moment you walk in, you feel like you’ve entered another world — one inspired by the vast richness of Asian culture and delivered with a European sense of sophistication.

From the moment the valet greets you outside to the final course of dessert paired with a silky sake, everything feels intentional.

Bold and Beautiful

Stepping into JNcQUOI Asia feels like walking into a meticulously curated art exhibit — with the added promise of unforgettable food. You’re immediately greeted by the grand staircase and the larger-than-life  that coils dramatically over the dining area, suspendegolden dragond in mid-air like a guardian of the space.

Dark wooden floors, soft glowing lanterns, richly textured walls, and contemporary Asian artwork create an atmosphere that is both elegant and warm. It’s luxurious without being cold. Opulent without feeling excessive.

There’s a sense of ritual to everything — the way the cutlery is placed, the subtle music, the way the staff greet you — and yet, nothing feels forced. This is Lisbon’s take on Asian fine dining, and it’s done incredibly well.

A Menu That Travels from Tokyo to Mumbai

What sets JNcQUOI Asia apart is its bold decision to unite four major Asian culinary traditions under one roof: Japanese, Chinese, Thai, and Indian. And somehow, it works — seamlessly.

Japanese

• Sushi and sashimi platters are delicately crafted, with fish flown in from top suppliers. The otoro nigiri melts like butter, and the dragon roll balances spice and umami.
• Don’t miss the robata-grilled sea bass, a clean, smoky standout that showcases the depth of Japanese technique.

Thai

• The green curry with prawns is aromatic and silky, with just the right level of heat to keep your palate intrigued.
• Their pad thai is refined but authentic, with notes of tamarind and crushed peanuts that linger long after the last bite.

Indian

• The chicken tikka masala is a crowd favorite — rich, creamy, and slightly smoky from the tandoor oven.
• Their butter naan is pillowy and perfect for scooping up every bit of sauce.

Chinese

• The Peking duck bao and Sichuan-style beef bring bold flavors and comforting familiarity, executed with finesse.
• Their dim sum platter is an elegant assortment of handcrafted dumplings with seasonal ingredients.

The Lounge & Bar Ganda: A Vibe of Its Own

Before or after dinner, take a moment to visit Bar Ganda, located within JNcQUOI Asia’s majestic space. Inspired by the story of the first rhinoceros brought to Europe by Portuguese explorers, the bar is as eclectic as it is stylish.

Here, mixology is treated like an art form. Signature cocktails include:

• “Silk Road” – a fragrant gin-based drink with lemongrass and ginger
• “Dragon’s Kiss” – a fiery mezcal creation with chili and lychee
• A wide selection of premium sake, Japanese whiskies, and Asian-inspired liqueurs

The bar’s ambiance feels like a blend of Shanghai in the 1930s and a contemporary fashion lounge — moody, stylish, and magnetic.

Discreet Excellence
