Morococo Cafe

Itaewon & Yongsan-gu


Cute North African–themed spot offering a chalkboard of half a dozen halal dishes like carrot salad, claypot lamb and the popular 'Morocco Over Rice' (₩9000) – shrimp, chicken, lamb or vegan with rice and vegies. Libations include spiced Moroccan tea and 'nas nas' coffee (espresso dripped over foamed milk), bottled craft beer and wine.

It's from the same crew as Casablanca Sandwicherie across the street.
