I mostly work around Sinsa-dong, and with so many bars there, I often end up meeting people at the good spots in that neighborhood.
Somunnan Masan Agu Haemul Jjim
It’s a restaurant a bit off the agujjim street, but plenty of people come here and the food is pretty good.
Agujjim (spicy braised monkfish)
Decent enough.
Daily Beer (Saenghwal Maekju)
Just a beer bar, but I like the concept
Somaek (soju and beer)
And the portions are generous
Grilled hanchi squid
A good place to come for round two and have a drink.
Daeji Jeongyuk Sikdang (butcher’s restaurant)
I’d only ever walked past it, but it’s tasty.
Dureuchigi (spicy stir-fried pork with kimchi)
I had no idea the meat would be this good. I’d go as far as calling it a hidden gem.
OUR Bakery..
Stylish, sure.. but the bread looks like something I’ve seen elsewhere, so I don’t end up going much.. Benchmarking is fine, but it lacks personality..
Yeonrip Ppang Gongjang (Yeonrip Bread Factory)
The number of bakeries on Garosu-gil has exploded. Trends are hard to figure out..
