'Hannam New Town' is a redevelopment project in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, centered between Itaewon Station and the Han River. If you just cross the bridge, you reach Gangnam, and even though it's a transportation hub facing the Han River, it's a place where there is a strange combination of slightly underdeveloped houses and cute, unique shops nestled in the middle of an alley.
As the new town business begins to pick up speed and the number of high-rise apartment villages and shopping districts that have been remodeled increases, it is expected that it will take the nearby Yongsan Park to the “Manhattan of Korea.†This week, let's explore the scenery and flavors of Hannam New Town, a unique place where past and future coexist.

1. 'Pornu Seoul', a small Italy in Seoul

An Italian home-style restaurant located in a quiet neighborhood alley. The open kitchen and the small interior with 3 tables are filled with a warm sensibility. It's fun to look at the beautiful dishes and accessories provided in the store while the delightful boss is busy preparing food. The menu changes slightly depending on the season, but I like pasta with an oily flavor. If you want to find a comfortable Italy in Seoul, I recommend it.

A bar that sells grill menus and natural wines in a small store. The wooden space is perfect for spending time with good people and getting rid of the tiredness of the day. There are table seats at the bar, so it's a great place to enjoy a drink while watching the boss's cooking process. There is a grill-based menu and pasta, and I am satisfied no matter what I choose. The “signature grape,†where grapes are grilled on a grill, flavored, and placed on top of two types of cheese, is a delicacy.

A restaurant in front of Itaewon Mondrian Hotel that has been loved by residents for over 30 years. They sell Korean food menus such as bosam, makguksu, and chijon. The most popular “pork bosam†is domestic pork cooked well, moist, soft, and served with kimchi. I also recommend ordering it along with the “tray makguksu,†which is not irritating and has a soft, rich flavor, and wrapping the meat in the noodles. The large and thick size of the chanjan that keeps pouring from the entrance of the store is called makgeolli.

A restaurant where you can enjoy a Korean fine dining course using seasonal seasonal ingredients. High quality cuisine is completed through modern recipes based on the traditions of court food and hanka food. In the summer season, food prepared for the hot summer is mainly rice porridge, cold dishes, steamed freshwater eel, rice cake galbi, and chicken gaejang. It also has the advantage of being able to enjoy a quiet meal because it consists of 100% private rooms that require a reservation.

A place that makes coffee like a friend who never changes. We tried to enjoy a variety of coffee flavors, such as manual roasting, using the latest espresso machines, and dividing the drip method into Jung (nel) and paper. The barista pours milk directly from the table for the signature “Hellate†and “Classic Cappuccino†for the texture of the first two sips. “Hellate†is a rich latte that contains 2 shots, and combines the rich aroma of coffee with a soft, savory milk flavor.
