Villa de Costes 빌라드코스테스

Villa de Costes is a Korean-Spanish fusion restaurant at 4 Hwarang-ro 5-gil in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul. Its seafood paella cooks turmeric-colored rice with seafood and shellfish in a shallow layer of stock. Squid ink paella takes a darker direction, coating the grains with black sauce and arriving with a tabletop burner that keeps heat beneath the pan. Lemon is served alongside and can be squeezed directly over the rice and seafood to add acidity. Gosari oil pasta combines bracken fern with noodles in garlic oil containing Cheongyang chili. Garlic scapes and shishito peppers remain as distinct vegetable pieces, adding crisp sections around the softer fern and pasta. A changing seasonal pasta uses seasonal produce in a vegan fusion preparation. Quattro-cheese pasta starts with a house cream sauce, adds American cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan, then goes through the oven so the cheeses form a baked upper layer. Coconut tomato pasta uses a rosemary-infused tomato sauce with unsweetened coconut, bringing an aromatic ingredient into a red sauce without turning it into a dessert-like preparation. Truffle cream soup caramelizes onion and mushroom, simmers them with soy cream, and finishes the bowl with truffle oil; it is another plant-based dish. The grilled eggplant pintxo spreads aged garlic on baguette and tops the bread with eggplant and shishito pepper. Crema de gambas is a lightly spicy shrimp dish containing cream, with garlic baguette available as a separate bread component. Honey cod pairs cod with an acidic sauce rather than the garlic oil, cream, or tomato bases used elsewhere on the menu. The compact dining room sits within a Seongbuk market alley. Its table format accommodates shallow paella pans, pasta bowls, and bread-based pintxos, reflecting a menu that moves among rice cooked in stock, oil-coated noodles, oven-baked cheese, vegetable soup, and small pieces assembled on baguette.
