Avenida da Liberdade is surely the most glamorous street in Lisbon, filled with designer shops, luxury hotels and chic restaurants. Positioned perfectly in the middle of this fabulousness is JNçQUOI Avenida. Arranged across multiple floors, this chic dining spot features the top floor JNcQUOI Restaurant, a DeliBar, outside Terrace esplanade and a lower level Fashion Clinic store. It’s where Lisbon’s social set eat, drink and shop.
The JNcQUOI Restaurant on the top floor (picture at top) is a grand room with high ceilings, and a décor that blends classic elements with modern style. A large skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus Rex in the center of the room is no doubt an artistic statement and the topic of many conversations.
