Jinju Jip has been around for years and is a local favorite. The restaurant specializes in oxtail soup. The dish melts in your mouth due to the tenderness of the meat that has been braised for hours. Koreans say that there’s nothing better to cure a nasty hangover than having a bowl.

Congdu is the perfect example of modern Korean cuisine. It’s only here where you can find fusion dishes such as grilled beef sirloin steak with 15-year seed soy sauce or crab marinated in a soy sauce using a special recipe passed down for generations from the Joseon Dynasty. Not only are some of the meals of royal origin, the restaurant building itself was once the office of a Joseon Queen. The views only add to the atmosphere as guests can enjoy the beautiful sight of the Deoksu Palace Gardens while eating modern Korean food.

Mugyodong Bugeokukjib might be one of those restaurants visitors have a hard time pronouncing the name of but once you are there, you’ll find that it was worth the struggle. Mugyodong Bugeokukjib is one of the best places in Seoul to have authentic Korean breakfast. There is no menu as there’s only one dish: beef and pollock soup. Nevertheless, the restaurant is so popular that a long line of people forms well before its opening hour of 11 AM.

This authentic Korean BBQ restaurant has become so popular that it opened four more locations in Myeongdong and Jongno. Unlike many other BBQ places, Wangbijib offers both pork and beef options, which is great for those who crave a bit of variety. The quality and marinade of the meat is superb, which is why Wangbijib is so popular.
