Tucked behind a charming heritage shopfront in the heart of the dining precinct, Arden Porta Via offers a cosy cocktail bar, an intimate private dining room, and a sun-drenched courtyard garden.

The menu draws inspiration from the Mediterranean, celebrating fresh, locally sourced ingredients—from house-made bread to hand-churned ice cream. Sharing is encouraged with a light approach to snacks or a dive into the full experience. For a truly relaxed journey, the chef’s selection guides the culinary path.

Planning ahead for dessert is highly recommended, perhaps best kept to oneself. Arden also features astounding, equally exceptional cheese offerings: the finest available, perfectly matched with condiments and crackers.

Signature cocktails or seasonal limited-edition creations are available. The back bar invites exploration of gins, amaros, and whiskies, or a browse through a thoughtfully curated wine list. Distinctive drops from local producers are showcased alongside celebrated international labels. A by-the-glass selection changes often, ensuring discoveries on every visit.

Evenings conclude with a sticky, a port, a nightcap, or a well-crafted coffee. At Arden, every style finds its perfect match.
