Chef George Mendes has left his position at Amar, a Portuguese restaurant at Raffles Boston, just a short period after its opening in 2023. Despite his notable acclaim and contributions, such as signature dishes like arroz de pato, Mendes' departure was understated and might have gone unnoticed by many patrons. The hotel confirmed that while the Long Bar and Café Pastel will remain unchanged, Amar will undergo a gradual transition to a new concept. Mendes plans to stay in Boston and continue his culinary journey.
Mendes' unexpected departure from Amar raises questions about the future direction of this high-profile restaurant and the impact on Boston's fine dining landscape.
Despite the shakeup, Raffles Boston remains committed to its culinary offerings as it prepares to transition Amar to a new concept under fresh leadership.
