His new venture will offer “innovative dishes and warm service in a relaxed, lively setting”.

The menu at Joia is influenced by the flavours and techniques of Catalonia and Portugal, with a focus on seafood, pork and rice. Dishes will include grilled carabineiro, creamy orzo bisque, tomato, coriander and salted cod crudo, pickled onions, tomatoes and olive oil caviar.

Set across the 14th floor, Joia bar will offer drinks that celebrate Iberian spices to complement the striking floor to ceiling backdrop. The bar will also offer handpicked Portuguese and Spanish wines, with a particular focus on lesser-known producers. 

Sá Pessoa said: “It is such a joy to return to London having trained here in the brilliant emerging scene in the 90s. I love this city and I can’t wait to cook and share with the guests my take on authentic Portuguese cuisine.”

Daniel Pedreschi, regional vice president of operations United Kingdom, art’otel said: “It will be an honour to fulfil the potential of this exciting new neighbourhood and build a destination restaurant that attracts guests from far and wide. We are very ambitious with this project and look forward to welcoming guests in the coming months.”
