Arbory Afloat

Mediterranean$$

Now in its tenth year, Arbory’s annual aquatic spin-off remains a go-to for city meet-ups with a dose of escapism. This season, the floating bar-restaurant looks to Rio de Janeiro, transforming into a bright, beachy slice of the Brazilian coast. Bites pull from the country’s diverse culinary traditions – sushi shaped by Japanese migration; ceviche drawing from across South America; smoky charcoal-grilled skewers; and acai reimagined as sorbet and Daiquiris.
