The location is good, the ambience is pretty nice, the service is very good also! The foods are fine but not impressed, we ordered the seafood rice which is good, enough for 3 people! But the taste is just ok, nothing spectacular

Saudade is in the soul! 2 PT friends decided to try In Amsterdam Arca, served & cooked by Portuguese people, traditional Portuguese food using mastery of flavour and cooking techniques on high quality! Staff was super friendly & attentious, even provided a tour on the art gallery. Love the touch on having a Sommelier in house, trying new wine flavours. What a fantastic amazing treat we had. We haven't eaten so well in a long time. What a great evening, everything was perfect! Thank you so much, you brought home to us.

The food was delicious. The unique flavor combinations worked really well. The wait staff were lovely and attentive at the beginning, but I found that they got a bit distracted as the restaurant got busier. I would definitely return and recommend Arca to others.

The complexity of each dish was amazing. We had the mushroom starter that was a fusion of flavours. The salted cod was a new experience on having a cod. And finally the cauliflower desert was something we had never tasted before. Flavours to die for. A great meal.
