Gongdeok izakaya with free parking and hosomaki rolls: Orot Robata
Orot Robata is a premium robatayaki izakaya in Mapo, Seoul, tucked into the Gongdeok Park Xi Building 202 shops between Gongdeok and Daeheung stations. On a weekend evening at 5:30pm the writer ordered hosomaki (30,000 won) and donteki charcoal-grilled pork (24,000 won) with nonalcoholic wine, and the two hours of free evening parking made driving easy. Orot Robata suits a date or a small gathering after a walk on the Gyeongui Line Forest Trail, so book ahead for weekend evenings.
