Money in Korea
Best exchange rates, ATMs & how to pay
Read guide →Western food has been localized in Seoul over decades, emerging as something distinctly Korean in the process. Demi-glace pork cutlets, cream pasta with kimchi, and French-style brunch menus sit alongside Italian pizza and American burgers in Seoul's eclectic restaurant landscape. Many younger Korean chefs trained abroad and returned to open restaurants that blend European technique with Korean ingredients and sensibility.
Mapo-gu — home to Hongdae, Sinchon, and Hapjeong — is Seoul's youth and arts district, defined by its university population, live music venues, and creative energy. The food scene is diverse, affordable, and experimental: trendy cafés, late-night pojangmacha, global street food, and boundary-pushing restaurants all compete for attention in this perpetually buzzing neighbourhood.
are you far from home? do you miss NY pizza? try the pizza here-- it's somewhere between a Brooklyn pie and a Wegmans counter slice. I loved it, especially with a beer. add crushed red pepper and parmesan! :)
Stumbled upon this place, on a Sunday 4:30pm, and decided to grab a slice. 10/10. DELICIOUS!!!
