Best Wagyu in Barcelona is served at Arko
Wagyu is combined on the menu with Mediterranean products and creations such as Wagyu with Grana Padano cream and truffle, its grilled picanha with fried yuka and tarí sauce, or the Wagyu A5 uramaki stuffed with prawn in panko, avocado, ponzu, and sesame, where each piece is cut and prepared to highlight the characteristic marbling and umami.
In addition to its unmistakable presence on the table, Wagyu represents the search for quality and authenticity in every bite. At Arko, we take care of the product from its selection to plating, opting for antibiotic-free ingredients and traditional rearing. The result is an experience that goes far beyond a simple steak: it is the ritual of Japanese gastronomy in a Mediterranean and contemporary setting.
Discover the excellence of Wagyu and be surprised by every curiosity behind this culinary treasure that you can now enjoy at our restaurant in Enric Granados.
