Casablanca Sandwicherie

Top choice in Itaewon & Yongsan-gu


These mouth-watering, deep-filled sandwiches served on wide, half-loaves of pillowy bread are beloved by locals and expats. Try the wickedly seasoned (and messy) Moroccan chicken. Also does North African–style shakshuka (poached eggs; ₩10,000) and a thick lentil soup (₩3000). There's a long fridge of craft beer in the cosy dining room.
