On Friday, June 19 at 8:00 PM, Ark welcomes summer with a one-night-only culinary tribute to one of nature’s most prized delicacies: the porcini mushroom.

Executive Chef Yiannis Baxevanis and his team have crafted a menu of seasonal dishes that place porcini mushrooms at center stage, highlighting them at the peak of their flavor and aroma.

Celebrated for their meaty texture, earthy fragrance, and deep, complex taste, porcini mushrooms are among the most highly regarded wild mushrooms in global gastronomy. At Ark, they are explored through a range of refined techniques and creative interpretations—paired with premium meats and fish, featured in stuffed preparations, grilled, and presented in dishes designed to fully express their character.

At the core of Chef Baxevanis’ philosophy lies a profound respect for exceptional ingredients and a commitment to expressing the true essence of each season. This evening reflects that philosophy in its purest form, offering guests a journey through flavors that balance tradition, creativity, and authenticity.

Whether you are a devoted mushroom enthusiast or simply curious to discover one of nature’s most remarkable gifts, this is an experience worth sharing.
