₩₩₩₩

On your way to your table, you’ll walk past a cabinet of Peking duck that’s a favorite order of many of the guests here at this handsome and comfortable Chinese restaurant at the Four Seasons hotel. While the menu leans towards Cantonese cuisine–lunchtime dim sum is always popular and the choice is extensive–the kitchen also offers specialities from a number of Chinese regions. Wok-fried Hoengseong Hanwood beef with ginger is a dish to look out for.

Gaeseong Mandu Koong

Mandu · Bib

₩

Set inside a converted traditional hanok, this restaurant is built around its signature gaeseong-style dumplings, a recipe passed down from the owner’s grandmother. The dough, fermented for three hours, yields wrappers with a pleasantly elastic texture and a subtle wheat aroma, while the filling—pork blended with generous vegetables—offers a clean, harmonious flavour. The clear, milky broth is simmered for eight hours with beef and ten kinds of fresh vegetables, resulting in a naturally savoury depth without heavy seasoning. The accompanying mul-kimchi and kkakdugi pair beautifully with the du

At this humble diner situated in Bukchon Village, the pork and rice soup comes in two sizes: medium and extra-meat. A special oil made with Cheongyang chilli pepper and kale is drizzled on top of the clean soup, creating a unique visual appearance and rich, harmonious flavours. The Spanish Duroc baby pork ribs and thin slices of pork butt that complement the dish are exceedingly tender and boast delicate flavours, further elevating the gastronomic experience.

Stunning views are guaranteed from La Yeon’s position on the 23rd floor of The Shilla Hotel, but the quality of the food ensures your attention never strays far from the plate.

From crisp red mullet to tender, char-grilled Hanwoo bulgogi, the kitchen resists overcomplication and focuses instead on clean, precise flavours. The dining room is comfortable, and the service team is a delight.
