Amar, the prominent Portuguese restaurant at Raffles in Back Bay, is undergoing changes with the departure of chef George Mendes, who left in mid-April after a less-than-two-year tenure. Initially hailed as a significant opening, Amar has seen dwindling buzz despite a three-star review from the Boston Globe. The restaurant had adapted its offerings, introducing bookable chef's counter seats and collaborating with local chefs. While it continues operations, a gradual transition to a new concept is planned, with Mendes remaining in Boston after leaving Raffles.
The departure of acclaimed chef George Mendes marks a significant change for Amar, a restaurant that had high expectations but faced challenges since its opening.
Although Amar's initial buzz faded, it adapted with unique offerings, such as bookable seats at a chef's counter and collaborations with local chefs.
