When I walked out of the house, it seemed like yesterday that the sun shone like an awl and the humid air took my breath away, but the sun softened like a lie after the lips that heralded the beginning of autumn passed. The cool breeze blows together, so it's quite worth walking. In this kind of weather, go to a different place you wouldn't normally be able to visit. Following Gyeongridan-gil, Haebangchon, which is gaining word of mouth as a new hot spot in Itaewon, is a neighborhood named after liberation because displaced people with nowhere to go settled down one by one after liberation. As unique stores enter one by one, the exotic feel of Itaewon blends well with the simple appearance of Korea. You'll have to walk down a bit from Noksapyeong Station, but if the weather is like these days, whatever you want is fine. Today, I'm going to introduce 5 must-see restaurants in Haebangchon, a new hot spot in Itaewon, with social media users.
1. “Casablanca,†a Moroccan-style sandwich recognized even by natives
Casablanca in Haebangchon, run by two brothers from Morocco, makes their own sauces, condiments, and fillings except for baguette bread. The percentage of foreign visitors is as high as 80%, and the number of Korean customers has been steadily increasing recently. All five types of sandwiches are popular; in particular, the spicy shrimp sandwich uses Moroccan hot sauce and is perfect for Korean tastes. If you want to experience a unique world of flavors unfolding within a thick baguette, I recommend Casablanca.
â–²Comment from Shikigashin Gakushin Jong: The lamb sandwich is good. If it's normal lamb
It has a lot of pleasant smell, but this one captures the smell very well, so it's not burdensome to eat!
â–²Business hours: 17:00 ~ 22:00 â–²Location: 44-8 Yongsan-dong 2-ga, Yongsan-gu, Seoul â–²Price range: 2,000 won to 7,000 won
2. Jacoby Burger, more famous for its visceral destruction burger
This hamburger shop is more famous for its “visceral destruction burger†than the trade name “Jacobi Burger.†The Gastrointestinal Destruction Burger is not a nickname, but the name of a full menu. It is made by layering 2 beef patties, cheese, bacon, fried eggs, and pan-fried potatoes, and is about 3 times as high as other hamburgers and boasts a huge amount of calories. It's a great place to visit when you want to get a different feeling. When ordering hamburgers, you can choose your own toppings and bread types, so you can make and eat your own burger.
3. A pimac restaurant with plenty of pizza toppings and a variety of beers! 'Bonnie's Pizza'
It's a place where you can enjoy pizza made in the style of his hometown, New Zealand, by the owner from New Zealand. The store is bustling with customers early in the morning due to word of mouth that has already spread through social media. The staff who receive and serve orders are all foreigners, but don't worry because they speak Korean well. There are more than 10 types of pizza on the menu, and if you have trouble choosing, you can choose from the staple sellers Pepperoni, Hawaiian, and Big Ian.
4. Authentic American-style barbecue “Holismokeâ€
If you remember eating American-style barbecue eaten by Carl Casper, the main character in the movie American Chef, then visit Holismoke in Itaewon. This place sells authentic American-style barbecues made by seasoning and aging meat and smoking it with smoke. There are various barbecue menus, such as brisket made from brisket made of brisket made from brisket of beef and pulled pork with smoked pork. If you want to try all the menus, order a “meat platter.†The Virgin Mary's neon sign, which you can see right after entering the store, is a trademark of this place.
