[The Xef] Spain in Seoul.

💃🕺

My favorite Spanish restaurant

Located in Yongsan (close to Hyochang Park Station)

The Xef / The Chef

I was looking for a really good Spanish restaurant in Seoul.

After moving around here and there, I settled here!

I actually visited five times,,, 😋

This was my first visit after it was renovated in the building next door.

The Chef last winter

As soon as you enter the restaurant, you feel

This Spanishness,,🌹

It seems like more emphasis was put on the interior during the renewal.

aperitif bread

Homemade garlic flavored spread and tomato olives🍅

Every time I come, I always order it.

Anchovy #pinchos!!!

It’s not fishy at all and it’s so delicious🥹

I also tried other pintxos.

I remember that tuna sashimi and mango were included.

Chorizo ​​and mini fried eggs 🍳

#Paella with fish fillet

And I finally ate it

The long-awaited #hamong

It’s quite expensive, but it’s really different…

The quality is completely different from the jamong you buy at the department store.

Look at Yoongiㅠㅠㅠㅠ Melting, melting..🫶🏻

I’ll come again…👣 Chongchong

and

I visited The Chef again in the summer,,

Preheating with aperitif bread..🤡

Anchovy Pinchos again -

Octopus dish #Hongpo

Classic #seafoodpaella 🥘

It’s a shame #calamari

It’s fried squid, but it’s really different,,,

Even delicious desserts 🍨

Homemade apple compote combined with vanilla ice cream

I can’t stand it, I can’t stand it 😵‍💫

As the end of the year approaches, a place that comes to mind again…

See you again soon🤤 #thexef #thechef
