Cute cafe that is also a design studio and stationery store. 382-13 Seokyo-dong Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea.
Japanese cafe with great music selection, although I was very disappointed in the limited menu. If you are allergic to shrimp do not order the curry. 9 Wausan-ro 29-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea.
They no longer seem to offer taco rice, but their butter chicken is excellent! 327-9 Seogyo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea. 11:00-24:00.
Han-u meat BBQ. Went there twice within a week. Must try: unmarinated beef sirloin and marinated short ribs, both melt in your mouth...mmmm! Staff cooks for you. Expensive but totally worth it.
Went crazy with the shopping here. Very nice ceramics to bring home. They don't do tax refund though.
Doenjang Yesul Gwa Sul. Went twice within a week. Must try: doenjang bibimbap (steamed rice with vegetables and herbs topped with soybean paste/tofu ragu). Super friendly staff! 11:00-23:00.
Myeongdong Kyoja. Must try: kalguksu (handrolled noodle soup), bibim-guksu (cold noodle with red pepper paste) and mandu (dumplings). Place looks like a tourist trap but is actually very good.
Breathtaking museum run by the Samsung foundation of culture that houses both traditional Korean art and contemporary art. 60-16 Itaewon-ro 55-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, South Korea.
Dongin-dong. No English menu. Must try: galbi-jim (steamed beef short ribs with garlic and spices). Two levels of spiciness, we ordered the spicier version and loved it!
Cool cafe. 46 Nonhyeon-ro 153-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea. NB: It's actually around the corner from this address.
Sky Garden on the 6th floor boasting a spacious grass lawn, tall bamboo and birch trees. 165, Apgujeong-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea. 10:30-20:00.
