The Curing

About
A Heukseok-dong dining pub centered on house-cured charcuterie, with jambon pizza and wine, whisky, and beer.
The Cureing makes its name tangible: this Dongjak dining pub centers on charcuterie, with house-made jambon and bacon appearing well beyond the sharing board. The clearest introduction is the jambon pizza, piled with thin slices of the cured ham. One account notes its savory saltiness works especially well with a drink; another describes the topping alongside tomato, black olives and cheese on a crisp-edged crust. It is a persuasive choice when you want dinner to feel a little like a wine-bar spread. For a broader taste of the kitchen’s curing work, order the charcuterie sampler. The reported selection pairs five house-made meats with cheeses, nuts and fruit, giving the table a mix of smoky aromas and contrasting textures. It suits a slower meal, especially with wine or whiskey. A small detail sets the meal in motion: warm baguette served with a spread, described as olive tapenade in one visit and a nut-filled accompaniment in another. There is more here than pizza and boards. The menu has included pappardelle with house-made bacon in a spicy tomato arrabbiata, white-ragù potato gnocchi, and duck confit served with porcini broth. The bruschetta takes a fresher turn, topped with Mexican salsa and guacamole rather than the familiar tomato-only combination. These dishes suggest a place built for ordering several plates and letting drinks carry the evening along. The mood is intimate without being formal: soft lighting, wood-toned tables and a tucked-away room for a more private meal are described by visitors, alongside seats suited to smaller groups. Wine, whiskey and beer are all part of the picture; one visit paired pizza with beer, while another began with a highball and ended with red wine. The Cureing feels at home in the gap between a full sit-down meal and a casual drink: come hungry for the jambon pizza, then leave room for the charcuterie that gives the place its particular character.
