🇪🇸 Granada Korean food recommendation Korean Fongsi CoreOle

It was my second trip to Granada. One night at 10 p.m., my boyfriend and I wandered near our hotel, planning to have Arab food—only to find the restaurant closed! It was still pretty cold in February, so we walked down the alley for another minute, and there it was: this little Korean restaurant. We stepped in, and it was bright and warm inside. There was a table of Korean girls, and the rest of the diners were foreigners. The chef was Korean, and there was just one server—a Spaniard. Restaurant Name: 한국분식 CoreOlé Address: C. Elvira, 114, Albaicín, 18010 Granada Average Cost per Person: €13 (for two people: two main dishes, one order of fried chicken meatballs, and one cola) We ordered what’s in Picture P2—let me talk about each dish one by one. 🍚 Bibimbap (Korean Mixed Rice) This is the one I need to emphasize: make sure to ask the server for authentic gochujang! The one I marked with a check is the right choice. My boyfriend is Korean. At first, they served the house-made sauce that’s adjusted for European palates. He took a bite, and his face instantly scrunched up 😂. Luckily, we asked if there was another sauce—they brought this one out and explained it to us. Once you mix in the right gochujang, it’s so delicious! I’d also suggest asking for sesame oil—it’ll make it even more authentic. 🍜 Ramen The restaurant offers 5 spice levels—I’d recommend starting at level 4. We chose level 5, and it wasn’t overly spicy; it was the kind of warm, cozy heat that’s nice on a cold day. We got the signature ramen, which had a little seafood, kimchi, tofu (thumbs up 👍), and two fried dumplings. The noodles were on the softer side—if you prefer them firmer, make sure to mention it! The broth was spot-on, though—my boyfriend said it’s authentic, so that’s a win 👌. 🍗 Chicken Meatballs I thought the sauce was pretty good—it’s just like the sweet-spicy sauce on Korean fried chicken. But the meatballs themselves aren’t crispy; they’re quite dense. Important note: These aren’t fried chicken! Just to be clear 😄 All in all, we were so happy we found this place after getting stood up by the Arab restaurant—and it’s so affordable! The two of us only spent €26. I haven’t tried Miso, the one everyone raves about on Xiaohongshu, so I can’t compare, but this was a solid find. If anyone goes because of this recommendation, please let me know—I’d be so excited to hear! 😊 #Granada #GranadaFood #KoreanFood #Spain
