“Award-winning Portuguese chef Henrique Sá Pessoa launched his first European restaurant outside Lisbon in 2021, ARCA, located in the art’otel. Here you can eat delicious food (trust us) and enjoy extraordinary cocktails, perhaps the most delicious ones we have tasted in ages. You can choose dishes from the à la carte menu or go for the tasting menu, which we absolutely recommend in combination with a wine pairing. If you want to eat out well in Amsterdam, this is the place to be.”

‘In the heart of Amsterdam, you can taste Portuguese flavours at a culinary level at ARCA. Think of refined fish dishes such as yellow tail and tuna tataki, various rice and meat dishes, with impressive desserts at the end. And I don’t just like to come here for the food: the staff here is so nice that there is a good chance that you will be chatting extensively after dinner.’
