Morococo Cafe

If you're looking for an honest meal in HBC, this is one of the few places to find it. The dishes are simple but well-thought-out and expertly prepared by a dedicated team with years of experience in the industry. I highly recommend trying their chicken over rice combo, along with the delicious mint tea. It's also one of the rare spots in the neighborhood where you can enjoy quality protein that actually tastes great!

"This is hands down the best Moroccan restaurant I’ve tried in Korea! The pastilla was perfectly crispy with a delicious blend of sweet and savory flavors, and the chicken tajine was tender and flavorful. The tea was authentic and refreshing. The atmosphere was warm, and the service was excellent. I feel sorry that I live far from this restaurant, but every time I visit Itaewon, I will absolutely take the chance to come back!"

I was craving Moroccan food, and I saw this restaurant pop up. The restaurant is decorated beautifully. I ordered a few dishes since I was very excited. I ordered the lamb kefta tajine which was quite disappointing, it does not have that authentic taste I was looking for. It was very sour and salty which was very disappointing. I also ordered the lamb shank, the meat was okay it did not have the sweetness I was expecting it was on the salty side which was also disappointing. I was expecting it to have the sweetness like Lham bel barkouk. And the tea was a disaster, it was not traditional Moroccan mint tea. I was not sure what to make of the flavor like it was just water with sugar and no minty flavor to be detected. But hey even though all of the above dishes were very disappointing there was luckily a highlight which was the preserved lemon chicken tajine which was amazing! This was the only dish that really had that traditional taste and I loved it!

Very cozy atmosphere, although on a busy street. It was my first time having Moroccan food and I was pleasantly surprised. The spices smelled and tasted amazing. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes.

Morocco is a beautiful, cozy little restaurant located in the middle of Yongsan. Located in the heart of niche restaurants. The food is wonderful, “melt in your mouth”, “fall off the bone” kind of food. Absolutely delicious. The coffee was amazing as well. The restaurant is halaal friendly as it serves alcohol the lamb shank is their fortè. The service was also excellent, the waiter and the owner were very proactive in making sure we had everything we wanted. I 10/10 recommend.

This place has delicious food. I went twice in less than 3 days. I got the Morocco over rice with shrimp and lamb and it was just fabulous. On the second time back I got the same thing but this time my friend and I split the meatball dish with the tomato sauce, egg and dipping bread and it was phenomenal. This place also has outside seating which is the best in my opinion because you can people watch. Highly recommend this cafe.

One of my favorite places in Seoul. You can never go wrong with the lamb shank, lamb meatballs or chicken and rice. The space has been expanded and much more comfortable overall. The owner is also an OG in the Seoul foreign food scene (Casa Blanca).

I had Moroccan food here for the first time, and I loved the flavor and seasoning so much, I came back only 2 days later! Currently, there are 3 dishes that are vegan-friendly: - Carrot salad (ask for vegan cheese!) - Morococo over rice - vegan version - Vegan Tajine with couscous (not on the menu, but available upon request) The cafe/bistro is located along the main road of Haebangchon (HBC 해방촌). You first order and pay at the counter, then the food will be brought to your table. It's a bit dark inside, there are not a lot of tables and seating is not the most comfortable. But the atmosphere is still warm and friendly.
