Seoul Restaurant Guide: Must-try + Local Favorites

Seoul Restaurant Guide: Must-try + Local Favorites

viajera
Calling all foodies who are planning trips to Seoul ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท From Korean traditional food to classic KBBQ and even venturing out a little bit into foreign cuisines, you'll definitely find a restaurant you'll want to try and add to your personal travel plans. While I've included all the restaurants that I featured in my YouTube video, that you can watch for free, I've also added EXCLUSIVE RESTAURANTS for my Thatch guide from all my previous trips to Seoul (Note: I've been to Seoul more than 10 times, so this will have a lot of restaurants ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท). This guide is packed with restaurants that you *cannot* find in articles, tour guides, and social media videos out there. If you want to know where Koreans really go to eat out with their friends, this is definitely the guide for you! Note: As I continue going to Korea, I will keep adding my new discoveries here!

Before we start, here are some things you need to know...

ย 1๏ธโƒฃ Google Maps doesn't work so well in Korea. The better navigations apps to use are NAVER MAP or KAKAO MAP. Both are really good, but then I prefer Naver Map only because there are more customer reviews on Naver compared to Kakao Map. However, Kakao's interface is more user friendly and simple. Both maps are accurate and will take you where you want to go, so you'll be fine either way!ย ย 

2๏ธโƒฃ This guide is powered by Google Maps, which means that it's also not 100% accurate. I've included the Korean and/or English addresses of the restaurants I'm recommending so that you can input it in either Naver or Kakao Map.ย 

Here's the original video (and you'll see how many more restaurants I've added into this guide):
