KCBS FOODIE CHAP:<\/p>\n

Chef Bladimir Melara, Roka Akor<\/p>\n

This week KCBS Foodie Chap Liam Mayclem meets up with Chef Bladimir Melara at Roka Akor<\/a> in downtown San Francisco.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe 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\u201d says Chef Bladimir.<\/p>\n

If you venture Al la carte, order all things cooked on the Robata grill but do not miss these items:<\/p>\n

– Sweet Corn With Butter & Soy<\/p>\n

– Wagyu Filet Tartare<\/p>\n

– Grilled Octopus <\/p>\n

– Lobster Tail With Chili Lime Butter<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Roka Akor is for anyone who loves top grade sashimi, sushi or wagyu. If quality matters you will be truly satisfied here. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n
