Iberico Black Pork Jongno Branch

About

A 3rd-floor pork BBQ spot near Jonggak Station, known for pre-seared Iberico cuts, rooftop terrace seating, and budget-friendly lunch specials.

Perched on the third floor near Jonggak Station and Cheonggyecheon, Iberico Heukdwaeji functions as an open-air hideaway for local office workers. Its defining draw is the outdoor terrace—a breezy *yajang* space that fully unrolls in spring and autumn, outfitted with communal open tables and a sheltered tent capable of accommodating group gatherings of up to forty diners. Inside, standard indoor seating handles seasonal shifts, while mountaineers who conquer the fourteen Himalayan peaks even receive a fifty percent discount. The house specialty centers on Spanish Iberico black pork, delivered as assorted platters featuring cuts like pork belly and neck. Unlike traditional joints where raw meat demands constant monitoring, the kitchen par-cooks (*chobeol*) the pork before it reaches the grill. This pre-roasting cuts down table smoke and significantly speeds up cooking time. The rendered meat turns tender and nutty, designed to be dipped into warmed *meljeot* (cured anchovy sauce) and eaten alongside house-cured kimchi crisped directly in the rendered pork fat. An abundant procession of side dishes arrives at the onset—steamed egg (*gyeranjjim*), bubbling *doenjang-jjigae*, and chewy wheat *tteokbokki*—with extra greens and condiments replenished at the self-service counter. The meal customarily concludes with savory *bokkeumbap* (fried rice) scraped across the hot griddle. By day, the spacious hall fills with desk workers arriving for budget lunch specials. The signature midday draw is *duruchigi* (spicy stir-fried pork), presented fully cooked and partnered with leafy wraps, soup, rice, and fresh banchan for an unfussy, cost-effective meal. Whether ducking in for an affordable weekday lunch set or claiming a bench beneath the terrace tent for charred pork and cold beer, it remains a relaxed sanctuary floating above Jongno’s bustling alleys.
