Pintxos

Pintxos are the traditional small-plate tapas from the Basque region of Spain, featuring an array of fresh seafood, meat, and vegetables skewered on top of bread. They're the perfect shareable snack to enjoy with friends over a glass of wine or beer.

 

Food Review

This Euljiro 4-ga wine bar offers a great selection of wines and beers. They have house wines available for those who want a casual wine experience, with the unique appeal of being able to enjoy wine as easily as a beer.

I ordered a selection of pintxos and a pasta dish:

 

Pintxos: I tried the jamon serrano, egg salami, and caramel barbecue pintxos. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the pintxos paired wonderfully with the house red wine I ordered.

 

Carbonara Pasta: This classic Italian dish was creamy and delicious, with the perfectly al dente pasta and a rich, eggy sauce. The balance of flavors was spot-on, making it a highly recommended menu item.

 

Open Service

As a new establishment, the wine bar is currently offering complimentary padrón peppers as an open service. These blistered green peppers with a sprinkle of salt make for an addictive snack to enjoy with drinks.

 

Atmosphere

The interior has a sophisticated bar vibe, with air conditioning to keep you comfortable on hot summer days. The outdoor seating area also offers a lovely view of Jongmyo Shrine, providing a special al fresco dining experience in Euljiro.

 

This wine bar would be a great spot for a date night or a lively gathering with friends. The unique menu items and cozy atmosphere make it stand out among the Euljiro drinking establishments. I highly recommend giving this hidden gem a try for an unforgettable dining experience in Seoul.
