At Arko, we understand fusion cuisine as a respectful meeting of two culinary worlds, blending them into a single, exciting bite. That’s why we love to combine Japanese tradition with Mediterranean influences and international touches. Two dishes that perfectly reflect our philosophy are the curry croquettes and the Mediterranean red prawn in tempura with togarashi.
Curry Croquettes: A Classic Dish with a Surprising Twist
Croquettes are a staple of Spanish cuisine, and at Arko, we give them a new dimension by blending the creamy béchamel filling with Japanese-style curry pork. This appetizer delivers a perfect balance of mild spices, rich umami flavor, and the crunchy texture of a panko-based coating. It’s a must-try for anyone looking for a true flavor explosion in every bite.
Red Prawn Tempura: Local Ingredient, Japanese Technique
Another star on Arko’s menu is our Mediterranean red prawn tempura. We bring together locally-sourced seafood—fresh daily from the market—with the light, crispy Japanese frying technique. This fusion enhances the prawn’s natural flavor and juiciness, without overpowering it.
