When searching for lunch options around Apgujeong, I always seemed to end up with the same old choices.
So, wanting to try something new, I searched for a well-regarded [Apgujeong Western Cuisine] spot recommended by a colleague, and ‘Traga Garosu-gil’ stood out with its particularly good reviews. Although Spanish food was a bit unfamiliar at first, it's apparently quite famous in the Apgujeong area.
Apgujeong is a busy area with many office workers, making it hard to find a quiet place for lunch. However, Traga is spacious despite being on the first floor, and the exotic atmosphere immediately raised my expectations. Above all, the unique yet affordable prices among [Apgujeong Western Cuisine] options were appealing.
Ultimately, the lunch set menu was so well-structured that I knew I had to go. There were diverse set options for those new to Spanish cuisine, and upon visiting, I understood why people wanted to recommend it.
1️⃣ Space, Location, and Atmosphere
Traga Garosu-gil is easily accessible, located within walking distance of Apgujeong. It's tucked away in an alley but connected to a main road, making it easy to find. The interior is much more spacious than expected. Thanks to a screen showing Spanish videos, the entire space felt like a trip, instantly lifting my mood even at lunchtime.
The seating is also spaced generously, so I didn't have to worry about the noise from neighboring tables, and it wasn't too noisy, making it great for conversation. I thought it was definitely one of the most outstanding places in terms of atmosphere among [Apgujeong Western Cuisine] restaurants.
The staff were also bright and friendly, making it easy for first-time visitors to settle in. They explained the menu in detail, making it easy to choose even if you're not familiar with Spanish food. Overall, the service was smooth, giving a strong impression of a 'place with good service'.
2️⃣ Lunch Set Menu Composition
The lunch sets were really well-organized. The 1-person pasta set, consisting of a pasta dish and a soft drink, was simple yet satisfying in quantity. The price was reasonable, and I could choose from basic or signature pasta options, making it easy to suit my taste.
The 2-3 person pizza and pasta sets were also popular, featuring a salad, pasta, and gorgonzola combination, which was filling enough with just the basic 구성. The taste of dipping the gorgonzola in honey was surprisingly addictive, making me keep reaching for it.
For those who want to experience more Spanish cuisine, the 2-3 person Spanish set, including gambas and paella, is a popular choice. The paella was generous in portion and had a deep seafood flavor, making me think, "This really feels like Spain." I understood why it's famous for its set menu value among those looking for [Apgujeong Western Cuisine].

The paella had a great combination of grilled shrimp aroma and seafood flavor, making me exclaim, "Wow, this is really good!" as soon as I tasted it. The rice grains were fluffy and the flavor was deep. It was a taste that even those unfamiliar with Spanish food could easily enjoy.
The gambas had a subtle olive oil and garlic aroma, making it great to eat with bread, and I was satisfied with the generous amount of shrimp. It was a taste that could make a great meal just by adding bread.
I also highly recommend the Chorizo Ragu Pasta. The ragu sauce was rich and the meat flavor was full, making it a hearty meal like a Western-style rice bowl. It was even more appealing because it's rare to find a place selling this style in Apgujeong.
4️⃣ Menu Selection Tips & Frequently Ordered Combinations
During lunch, paella, gambas, hangover pasta, and seafood pasta were especially popular. The hangover pasta had a spicy broth, making it perfect for days after a drinking session, and it was surprisingly filling with plenty of seafood.
Among the a la carte items, I highly recommend trying the Champinones. The savory flavor is really good with plenty of chorizo and bacon inside the mushrooms. Adding bread and eating it with olive oil makes it a satisfying dish like a separate menu item.
If you have a group of 4 or more, adding 1-2 a la carte items to the Spanish 3-person set would be just right. The wide range of options makes it a safe bet for lunch gatherings or pre-wedding meetups.

They have an Americano discount event during lunchtime, making it perfect for taking out after a meal. The variety of drinks, including sodas, ades, and non-alcoholic champagne, offered a wide range of choices for everyone, and you can also order wine or highballs.
In particular, they are running a free corkage event even during lunch, making it great to enjoy a light glass of wine at lunch gatherings or small meetings. It's free for one bottle per table, so you can enjoy it without 부담.
Reservations were available both online and by phone, and I was able to get a same-day reservation quickly, which was really convenient. They also explained the location kindly, so even colleagues who were visiting for the first time could easily find it.
