arkhe

Plant-based food is a growing trend in Lisbon, and dishes at arkhe don’t disappoint. This delightful, intimate restaurant was born out of the partnership between charming front of house Columbian, Alejandro Chávarro, and talented Brazilian-born, Chef João Ricardo Alves. The vibe is warm and welcoming, with elegantly exposed stone and well-spaced, glossy, wooden tables. The wine list is excellent, comprising bottles from all the great terroirs (a change from many restaurants here that exclusively have Portuguese wines), and the food dazzles with dishes like beetroot served with horseradish and green apple or Jerusalem artichoke paired with hazelnuts and sabayon.
