My husband and I wondered in here, for a late lunch, and we were welcomed by one of the most charismatic people I have ever met. She showed us around the restaurant, explained the history, prepared us a cozy table on the balcony, and treated us as if we were in her home! The food was inventive, fresh and delicious.... More

We dined here last night and enjoyed lovely food, excellent service and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. The restaurant is in a quiet area of Lisbon just outside the centre. We were greeted with a warm welcome on arrival and shown to our table on the balcony overlooking the courtyard, at the rear of the property. The courtyard is surrounded by... More

A romantic restaurant serving an explosion of flavours with artistic flair. Fabulous wines and impeccable service. The “Sweet Things” pudding is quite spectacular. Highly recommended.

We were incredibly impressed with Clube de Jornalistas. The chef himself came out to say hello and serve us. The food was inventive and sophisticated without being pretentious. The pretty sunlit courtyard added to the general ambiance. Go here for a wonderful meal.

We were very warmly welcomed by Joanna and given the menu in the form of a letter in an envelope - Joanna explained that is was... More

A warm, rainy night a’top of one of Lisbon's seven hills. Our taxi struggles to gain traction on the wet, cobbled road. Traction gained we disembark and knock on the heavy mahogany door. Thus begins a night at this most glorious restaurant. A group of five of us visited Clube de Journalistas in May. It was everything we hoped it... More
