Omokgyo In Shelter: Delightful Pasta & Stew in Seoul

Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting In Shelter near Omokgyo Station, and I must say, both the ambiance and the food were absolutely delightful.

While it's well-known as a charming brunch spot, In Shelter truly shines in the evening, offering a full menu of pasta, pizza, and hearty stews.

A group of four friends and I were looking for a cozy dinner spot, and one of my friends, who frequents this place, highly recommended it. We made a **weekday evening reservation** and were glad we did!

In Shelter Omokgyo: Menu Highlights

With four of us dining, we decided to order a total of **four dishes** to share:

✔️ Seafood Tomato Stew

✔️ Vongole Pasta

✔️ Shrimp Basil Pasta

✔️ Half-and-Half Pizza

This selection was perfect for sharing among our group, and everyone left completely satisfied.

We were pleasantly surprised when **peperoncino** was served as a basic accompaniment—a nice touch!

Seafood Tomato Stew

This was the first dish to arrive, and it immediately impressed. The tomato sauce was rich and thick, not watery at all, giving it an authentic stew consistency.

It had a delightful hint of spiciness, was packed with an abundance of fresh seafood, and to my surprise, included penne pasta! This made it incredibly filling. The warm, flavorful broth made me instantly crave a glass of wine!

Vongole Pasta

The Vongole pasta struck a perfect balance; the oil wasn't excessive, allowing the clean, fresh flavor of the clams to truly shine. The garlic wasn't overpowering, making it a universally enjoyable dish. A sprinkle of arugula added a nice touch, cutting through any richness beautifully.

Shrimp Basil Pasta

This dish also featured a generous amount of seafood, including scallops, giving it a visual similarity to the seafood stew. The basil aroma was present but not overwhelming, offering a gentle fragrance that contributed to the dish's overall excellent balance.

Half-and-Half Pizza

Since we couldn't resist adding something beyond pasta, we opted for the Half-and-Half Pizza. We had the flexibility to choose two toppings, and we went with **Shrimp Hawaiian** and **Bacon Potato**!

Honestly, I didn't have high expectations for the pizza, but I was genuinely impressed. The crust was wonderfully thin and crispy, almost like a gourmet flatbread. It was surprisingly delicious!

If you're in the Omokgyo area and looking for a relaxed spot to enjoy fantastic pasta, pizza, and stew, I highly recommend giving **In Shelter** a try! 🤗

My personal top pick? Definitely the **Seafood Tomato Stew**!

I'm already looking forward to my next visit, perhaps to experience their famous brunch menu.
