Lisbon’s famous JNcQUOI Avenida will welcome one of the Algarve’s most iconic restaurants, Gigi, for a four-day takeover, bringing the unmistakable flavours of the sea and a menu that celebrates authentic ingredients and a cuisine full of character.
Located in Quinta do Lago, overlooking the Ria Formosa Natural Park, Gigi is known for its relaxed atmosphere and fresh fish and seafood, which earned it a loyal following over the years.

JNcQUOI has hosted takeovers since 2019, and this edition will take place from January 21 to 24 at its restaurant on Avenida da Liberdade, in Lisbon. Through this concept, JNcQUOI continues to invest in partnerships with some of the best Portuguese restaurants outside the capital, curated by executive chef António Bóia – considered one of the leading figures in Portuguese gastronomy – with the aim of showcasing the diversity and quality of national cuisine.
