Clube de Jornalistas

We loved everything about this place. We were welcomed so warmly and followed with a glass of sparkling wine - a fantastic way to start, I'd say! They offered such interesting combinations of flavors, that it was difficult to choose our dishes, but we were up to the task! 😄 The food and the service were top notch. My friend had the octopus and sweet potato mash and described it as "exceptional". Each of the 3 of us enjoyed appetizers, a main course and a dessert and I don't think one crumb was left behind. We will most certainly be returning.

Lovely restaurant with space divided by different rooms. I dined in the main room. I had the roasted eggplant as an appetizer and the prawn risotto as main course. The risotto was outstanding, I highly recommend it. As a glass of wine, they served me an excellent local Chardonnay. The total cost was 39 euros. They gifted me a shopping bag (thank you!). Overall, I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Great restaurant, every dish we had was superbly executed. The staff was super friendly and actually helped accommodate with adopting a dish to vegetarian.
The chocolate cake was so amazing we actually ordered a second one. Would highly recommend.

Amazing meal, perfect for a romantic dinner. All dishes tasted so unique and the presentation was great. The wine was some of the nicest I’ve had and the setting is also lovely. A wonderful dining experience overall.

Thank you Chef Ivan and the entire team for celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary with an amazing journey of food and wine two nights in a row! If we could have come a third time we would have.

Each dish on and off the menu was a work of art, combining different textures and flavours. Combining them with green wine pairings was spectacular.

Thank you for an amazing two evenings and we look forward to seeing you again.

What a romantic place! Food are so delicious!!! 😋 I am so lucky to have wonderful dinner here. Romanitc place!

One of the neatest and most enjoyable dining experiences Ive ever had. The ambiance and food were incredible. Highlights were the black pork neck and shrimp risotto. Service was also on point- I really appreciate that they offered to split our meals when they heard we were planning to share all the dishes.

A lovely experience! Amazing food, setting and service. The lady who served us was incredibly welcoming and attentive, she was great and made our experience really enjoyable. The food was super and the cava was also lovely! Definitely recommend!

Love this place. First of all, the service is excellent! All the employees are friendly and try to host you as good as possible. The atmosphere and design is just wow, so authentic and unique! Also they have an amazing garden. As for food I tried risotto with gambas and mango was delicious and interesting mix tastes. Also, a dessert from egg and bacon pudding you would wonder if it is good? It was delicious! Price wise is a bit expensive, but worth every penny.

Seriously good food with equally matched service. Rarely do you find a place with perfect execution and CDJ is one such example. Everything from the flamboyant ingredient pairings to perfectly balanced sauces left you wanting for more. Highly recommend!

Excellent service from Katia, she was lovely! The food was incredible, the ambience really special. Make sure you get a booking before coming. Didn’t get to try desserts as we were running short on time but they looked incredible. Not many vegetarian options (only one in the mains and 2 in starters) but the ones I tried were delicious. Apparently the octopus was incredible. Super recommend this gem.

Impeccable service (discrete, polite and efficient), in a unique beautiful building with a perfect outside space, calm and relax, ideal for the summer days. The food is rather innovative and overall good. Recommended!

First meal we had in Lisbon and the food and service was excellent - they even gifted us Clube de Journalistas totes.

So many amazing things to say about this restaurant! We loved trying new and different food combinations! Our group came in with an open mind and left with full bellies, and an experience that we will always remember. We decided to try the tasting menu — which was such a good choice! It allowed us to try a variety of items on the menu and try wine from various regions of Portugal. The manager was AMAZING. The hosts and wait staff were excellent. We even got to meet the chef at the end, which was major highlight of the evening. At the end, the staff didn’t kick us out and allowed us to leisurely finish our meal and drinks! The restaurant is unique, authentic and a must try in Lisbon. Highly recommend the salmon (it was the best one of the people in party ever tasted!) and the tasting menu. Can’t wait to return for round two of this restaurant when we are back in Portugal!

Fantastic place! Food, atmosphere, interior, service, wine - everything was perfect. Prices are above average and even high for Lisbon. But definitely worth that.

We had such a lovely dinner and experience at Club de Jornalistas! We visited early May, so we sat inside as the courtyard was not open yet. We had such a fun and friendly server which made for a really great experience. We had bread, wine, octopus, risotto, pork neck, and dessert- everything was very good to excellent. Our collective favourite was the octopus dish. The cook was perfect, with a crisp grilled exterior and very nice bite throughout. Very good flavour. This was my first time ordering octopus, and I am now a fan!

Sensational cooking and hospitality. Classics reimagined in a way that are true to their roots and yet the flavour is innovative and out of this world. Chef Ivan’s food is utterly memorable. The hospitality is unparalleled. We felt completely at home and welcomed and attended to. This is a place is Lisbon that I will always return to.

Lucas was our main waiter, so friendly and he was also very knowledgeable about the food and wine!The food was exceptional,the local wine and port accompanied the food so well!Loved the location. Thank you to the chef and staff!

The best restaurant in Portugal! My husband and I spent a week in this lovely country trying all the delicious food. The Clubs de Jornalistas has no comparison. The quality of food, ambiance, wine recommend and service was all equally excellent. I highly recommend the seared Salmon. Fresh, perfectly seasoned and prepared. The chocolate soup with passion fruit mouse was unique, light and so tasty. My husband had Pork risotto with asparagus he was very happy with his meal and would also highly recommend this choice.

Fantastic food and great waitress serving us, would definitely go there again.
