Eat & Drink
A stay at art’otel Amsterdam wouldn’t be complete without soaking up the fun and vibrant atmosphere in our restaurant & bar, a buzzing neighbourhood hangout.


ARCA Restaurant & Bar
ARCA Restaurant & Bar is one of the most exciting dining experiences in Amsterdam, offering modern Portuguese dishes with unique Asian influences, impressive cocktails and lively weekend nights. ARCA is the first restaurant in Europe outside of Lisbon from award-winning (and 2 Michelin star) Portuguese chef Henrique Sá Pessoa. This is the funkier, more relaxed sister to his other outposts and has recently been listed in the Michelin Guide.
At the bar, every cocktail tells a story, profiling Portuguese & Asian spices and bitters to craft a menu that will take you on a journey of exquisite taste. The cocktails perfectly complement the ARCA bites found on the bar menu or can be enjoyed on their own.

“I DON’T HAVE THE CONVENTIONAL CHEF’S BACKGROUND WHERE THEY USED TO COOK WITH THEIR GRANDMOTHER AND THEY USED TO PICK FRUITS AND VEGETABLES OUT IN THE GARDEN. THAT’S NOT ME. I AM A CITY BOY AND BASKETBALL WAS MY LIFE.”
Henrique Sá Pessoa
