Bar Ganda at JNcQUOI Asia, Lisbon

Ann Abel — Fri, 29 Jul 2022 08:49:55 +0000

Ever since it opened, JNcQUOI Asia has been one of Lisbon’s most fashionable dining rooms. It’s always been a joy to step off of Avenida da Liberadade and be transported into an exotic Far East fantasyland. That’s even more true than ever with the new Bar Ganda, a refurbished and reconceived space within the restaurant. Designed by architect Lázaro Rosa-Violán, the all-day space—great for meeting friends, working remotely, or enjoying a meal or a cocktail while listening to a DJ—is […]

Go A Lisboa – Rooftop for Brunch, Lunch, Dinner & Cocktails

Ann Abel — Sun, 24 Jul 2022 16:27:33 +0000

The rooftop, garden, and high-ceilinged dining room at Casa da Goa (the Goan cultural center) was a space that never quite lived up to its potential. That changed in summer 2022 with the launch of Go A Lisboa (get it?), an all-day restaurant and hangout that caters to Lisbon’s international creative set. The investors brought in talented and versatile chef Inga Martin to oversee the kitchen and devise a menu that ranges from eggs Benedict and avocado toast in the […]

Just when you thought a bar couldn’t get any better than Red Frog Speakeasy, the owners of that bar opened something completely different. Sure Red Frog continues to serve award-winning, Michelin star-quality cocktails in a hip, cosmopolitan setting. But sometimes, you need a little cha-cha-cha and ai-yai-yai in your life! Welcome to Monkey Mash! Monkey Mash, just off Avenida da Liberdade in Praça Alegria, is bright, colorful and festive. The motif is contemporary tropical. A vibrant mural by noted urban artist […]

Liquid Lounge Oceanfront Bar, Estoril

Ann Abel — Fri, 17 Sep 2021 09:00:08 +0000

The time is now. That was the motto of Kiko Pericoli when he opened his newest project, Liquid Lounge Bar Estoril, in September 2021, as the city was still limping back to life. Not only was taking the leap a business decision, but it’s also meant to be an inspiration for anyone who wants to kick back with a cocktail right at the edge of the ocean, and drink in those beautiful views. Pericoli, the founder of the Red Bull […]

SUD Lisboa Terrace Bar & Pool Lounge

Ann Abel — Mon, 03 Aug 2020 00:49:57 +0000

SUD Pool Lounge is arguably the coolest rooftop in town. At least it is when you dive into the cool water of the infinity pool, which seems to blur with the Tejo below. There’s a feeling of being on top of the world. The design is glamorous—the owners were going for an “international hot spot” vibe, reminiscent of Mykonos, St.-Tropez, or Marbella. The views of the April 25 bridge and Cristo Rei remind you that you’re still in Lisbon. When […]

The Royal Cocktail Club is an exclusive space in the Baixa of Porto, where the cocktail is king. The grand entrance, in a bankers’ union building on the corner of Rua Cândido dos Reis and Rua da Fábrica, leads in to elegant space complete with marble bar. Here, cocktail craftspeople concoct both classic and signature drinks. Hope you’re not in a hurry; the mixologists take pride in their work and presentation…and you get to savor the result. Downstairs, there’s a […]
