KCBS FOODIE CHAP:
Chef Bladimir Melara, Roka Akor
This week KCBS Foodie Chap Liam Mayclem meets up with Chef Bladimir Melara at Roka Akor in downtown San Francisco.
“We cook on a charcoal Robata grill. It informs all our dishes, the fish, meat and vegetables and gives that extra layer of flavor to everything” says Chef Bladimir.
If you venture Al la carte, order all things cooked on the Robata grill but do not miss these items:
- Sweet Corn With Butter & Soy
- Wagyu Filet Tartare
- Grilled Octopus
- Lobster Tail With Chili Lime Butter
The decadent Omakase menu is the way to go - a non stop feast of fish and meats and well worth the $158 spend pp. The dining menu is complemented by signature cocktails, wine, sake, and an extensive and award-winning list of fine whiskies.
Roka Akor is for anyone who loves top grade sashimi, sushi or wagyu. If quality matters you will be truly satisfied here.
Enjoy my tasty talk with a humble yet super talented Chef - Bladimir Melara who has met the moment and risen through the ranks here at this popular Japanese inspired restaurant, Roka Akor.
