Seoul’s list of Michelin Restaurants

16

 

[SEOUL, KOREA] General impressions of food in Seoul may have been restricted to street food, and the likes of barbecue, Korean fried chicken, ginseng chicken and bibimbap.

With the Michelin Guide reaching Seoul, the dining scene may be shaken a little, with travellers knowing more options from the fine dining arena. (Also Read: Singapore Michelin Bib Gourmand Guide 2016 – 34 Eateries That Make The Cut)

 

24 restaurants in Seoul are awarded stars in the inaugural guide, with Gaon in Gangam and La Yeon at The Shilla Hotel. (Read: Review of La Yeon)

May be comforting to know that instead of a European restaurant (or more precisely a French restaurant), 2 Korean restaurants have taken the top honours.

Gaon operated by Korean ceramics group GwangJuYo is a traditional Korean restaurant serving high-end, elegant cuisine, while La Yeon takes a contemporary approach to Korean cuisine.
