Restaurants, cafés, markets and late-night bars in Seoul — where I actually ate, with prices, hours and how to order.
Start here — one neighbourhood at a time, with prices, hours and what to order.
I came for the roe-filled webfoot octopus, and the contrast was the memorable part: smoky, chewy legs and a soft, rich centre.
I come here after dinner for fishcake skewers, warm broth and a beer. The room is small, but that close, casual atmosphere is part of why I like it.
I’d come back for the bacon and the bubbling pot of broth. This was a comfortable, straightforward meal near Isu Station, with thicker pieces of bacon than I expected.
I’d return for the charcoal-grilled makchang and its dipping sauce. The meat had a springy bite and lightly charred edges; the sauce was rich, nutty and slightly sweet.
