4 months ago
Gatos, a Spanish coastal-inspired restaurant in Hannam-dong, Seoul, recreates the vibrant flavors of Spain’s seaside towns. Owner Park Joo-ro and chef Park Dae-hyuk serve creative modern Spanish dishes using fresh Korean ingredients. Signature items include honey cod (꿀대구) — a take on Spanish bacalao made with fresh cod, crispy exterior, aioli, honey-and-cognac tomato marinade — and seafood paella made with rich shellfish stock, rice, tomatoes, and shrimp. Other highlights are crispy Korean anchovy fries prepared Spanish-style and a smoked, truffle-oil–finished stuffed chicken. Over 60% of the drinks list features carefully selected Spanish premium wines. (Hannam-dong: a neighborhood in Seoul)
