PORTUGUESE FLAVOURS WITH A MODERN TWIST

Gault & Milau’s Dessert of the Year 2024

Concept by 2 Michelin Star Chef Henrique Sá Pessoa

ARCA

Award-winning Portuguese chef Henrique Sá Pessoa, holder of 3 Michelin stars and as seen on BBC’s Saturday Kitchen and Portugal’s 24H Kitchen, launched ARCA in November 2021, establishing his first European restaurant outside of Lisbon. As the spirited and laid-back counterpart to his existing much-celebrated restaurants, ARCA brings modern Portuguese sharing plates with Asian influences and impressive cocktails to the table. Discover ARCA at Amsterdam’s art’otel!
