This Spanish??restaurant specializes in Spanish cuisine which includes meats?and fish grilled over hot coals. There is no gas grill here. Most of the dishes are tapas sized potions (i.e., small plates).

The chef-owner, Chef Shin Seung-hwan, has work experience in Japan, the United States, Dubai, Thailand and Spain. He grows a lot of his own ingredients at his farm in Gongju, South Chungcheong. Chef Shin’s other more formal restaurant in Jongno – Terreno – was recently awarded a one-Michelin star in 2019.

This place is located in Hannam Dong near the UN Village entrance.

This place is delicious but it’s also on the pricey side. Reservations are absolutely recommended. The restaurant consists mainly of a bar countertop with one table by the entrance that seats about 6 people and 1 private room that should be reserved several weeks in advance if you want to reserve it on a Friday or Saturday.
