The ANA Lounge Lisbon is large. It has a full bar and runway views. However, the lounge is let down by the food selection. Just sandwiches and small items.
It’s a decent place to spend 1 hour before your flight, but no more.

You can pay for entry to the lounge. The cost is €26 for 3 hours.
I gained entry to the lounge with my Priority Pass Card.
Priority Pass is the largest Airport Lounge Network in the world. With over 1,600 locations. You flash your Priority Pass card and get access to the lounge. With all you can eat food, unlimited alcohol and free wi-fi. On average, I save €60 when I go into an airport lounge. That’s what I would pay for food, drinks and wi-fi in the terminal. If you drink more alcohol, then you’ll save more!
You can sign up to Priority Pass on this website. This is a special link, that provides a 30% discount. The standard plus membership costs €231. For that you get 10 free visits. So each visit costs €23.10.
The ANA Lounge Lisbon is a large space, with lots of seating and high ceilings. It looks out to the runway. Although the view is heavily obstructed by shutters on the windows. These shutters are really annoying. They prevent light from coming in and obstruct the view of the runway. If the windows didn’t have shutters, then the lounge will be a much nicer place.
There was a magazine rack, although not many English options. There was also a smoking room, which is still a fairly common fixture in European airports.
There wasn’t a wide variety of seating options at the Lisbon Airport Lounge. It was mainly low style leather lounge seats.
The food at the Lisbon Airport Lounge wasn’t great.
There was a small counter with refreshments. The choice was rather underwhelming. It consisted of the following:
The sandwiches weren’t the greatest. I had one ham baguette, some cakes and some snacks.
I don’t understand why the lounge can’t provide hot food. It’s a big lounge with a lot of customers, and there would be lots of demand for hot food. It can’t be too difficult to make some pizza in an oven, can it?!
I’ve been to a lot of lounges, and there’s so much variation in food quality. I prefer a lounge that has a smaller selection of high quality dishes. I visited the Swiss Business Class Lounge in Zurich at breakfast time. The lounge is tiny, but they had a couple of high quality egg dishes. They also had fresh fruit and breads.
The drinks selection was the best thing about the ANA Lounge Lisbon! The wine selection included Prosecco, and there was a decent choice of beer and spirits too.
There was a separate drinks station, which contained tea, coffee and good range of juices. The coffee machine was quite fancy, and my wife enjoyed the latte she had!
