Located at 19 Bukchon-ro 4-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, Salt House Deli (known locally as 소금집델리) is a must-visit restaurant if you want high-quality, flavorful charcuterie and sandwiches. Open daily from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM, this popular deli offers everything from smoked bacon and sausages to hearty sandwiches like the fan-favorite Reuben. Whether you’re planning an at-home brunch or just want a delicious grab-and-go meal, Salt House Deli has the perfect options to satisfy your cravings.
A Surprise Visit for Sandwiches & More
Originally, I stopped by Salt House Deli to pick up sausages for a homemade brunch—spurred on by my discovery of kaya-esque “kaymak” on a Korean grocery app. However, the mouthwatering aroma upon entering convinced me to grab a sandwich as well. Even though it was a quiet weekday around 4:00 PM, the nearby London Bagel Museum was bustling with an epic line, reminding me of the area’s vibrant food scene.
Reuben Sandwich 루벤 샌드위치 (16,800 KRW)
I’ve always been a Reuben fan, so while many rave about the Jambon Beurre, I couldn’t resist this classic sandwich. Served on rye bread with pastrami, Emmental cheese, and sauerkraut, the Reuben from Salt House Deli offers a tangy, savory flavor that keeps you reaching for the next bite. A friendly tip: ordering your sandwich to-go can save you around 3,000 KRW.
Smoked Bacon & Italian Sausage 훈제 베이컨&이탈리아 소시지 (7,800 KRW each)
The next morning, I used Salt House Deli’s smoked bacon and Italian sausages for a simple yet impressive brunch at home. Paired with fresh bread and eggs, these premium meats delivered incredible taste. The sausage boasts a slightly spicy kick and juicy texture, while the bacon’s intense smokiness is a rarity among typical grocery-store varieties. My husband, initially concerned about the price, now says he can’t go back to regular bacon.
Other Must-Try Items
- Italian Hoagie (13,800 KRW): Packed with coppa, salami, mortadella, jambon, provolone, and veggies like lettuce, onions, and tomatoes. It’s a medley of robust flavors that’s salty yet balanced by fresh produce.
- Smoked Bacon: Each pack usually contains about 6–8 slices. A quick 6–8 minutes in a grill or oven crisps them up perfectly.
- Beer Selections: For those who enjoy beer, Salt House Deli sometimes carries special seasonal brews and well-known favorites like Inedit Damm—perfect for rounding out a home feast.
Final Thoughts
Salt House Deli isn’t just about sandwiches—it’s also a treasure trove of curated charcuterie, making it a fantastic option for brunches or home parties. One bite of their smoked bacon will have you thinking, “This is what real bacon should taste like!” If you’re looking to elevate your next meal—or searching for a memorable gift—consider trying some of their top-quality meats. You’ll be treating yourself (and your taste buds) to a flavor experience that rivals many wine bars or gourmet cafés in Seoul. Whether you’re a die-hard bacon lover or simply in the mood for an amazing sandwich, Salt House Deli in Anguk is well worth a visit.
