A Corfiot Gastronomic Night at Ark — December 12
At Ark, we love hosting flavors, stories, and inspiration from every corner of Greece. As part of the Symposio at Ark series, which each year brings award-winning regional chefs to the Athenian Riviera, we are preparing a unique, festive night infused with the aromas of Corfu.
On December 12, Aristotelis Megoulas, chef-patron of the acclaimed Pomo d’Oro in Corfu (Greek Cuisine Award 2025), leaves his atmospheric Old Town restaurant for one night and brings his personal, creative cuisine to the cosmopolitan Ark in Glyfada.
The Taste of Corfu… Reimagined
Megoulas’ cooking, deeply rooted in the iconic recipes of Corfiot gastronomy, embraces seasonality, handcrafted preparations, and exceptional ingredients from small local producers. The result is a menu rich in imagination, culinary memory, and refined technique.
Guests will also have the opportunity to meet the chef and talk with him about the origins and evolution of Corfiot cuisine.
The Special Menu for December 12
The evening opens with a refreshing neratzosalata made from five citrus fruits – with kumquat as the star – paired with herb tarama, walnuts, and smoked mackerel. A bright introduction to a rich gastronomic journey.
Starters
- “With Tuna”: finely sliced veal paired with aged tuna belly and caper seasoning — a bold and harmonious land-and-sea combination.
- “Festive Pancakes”: potato pancake filled with veal sofrito, sugo and herbs, honoring the traditional flavors of Corfu.
Pasta
- “Benitses”: a spaghetti dish with octopus pastitsado and rich cooked sugo, a deeply authentic taste inspired by the island’s coastal village.
Main Courses
- “Mantouki”: a tribute to the classic Corfiot bourdeto — fresh fish of the day with onion bread and bourdeto sugo.
- “From the Meadow”: slow-cooked lemony ewe with tsilichourda, chard, burnt lemon, and herbs — a dish that showcases the heartier, land-inspired traditions of Corfu.
Dessert
- “Fogatsa”: the beloved Corfiot sweet bread, served with goat’s milk cream scented with rose geranium and bergamot.
A Festive Atmosphere with the Hospitality of Ark
Chef Megoulas will be welcomed by Ark’s executive chef Giannis Baxevanis and his team, while the evening will be accompanied by live piano and vocals, creating an experience that blends high gastronomy with the cosmopolitan charm of the Athenian Riviera.
