韓国料理
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.
Gangnam-gu is Seoul's upscale business and entertainment district south of the Han River. Home to K-pop entertainment companies, COEX Mall, and the Apgujeong-Rodeo shopping strip, it attracts young professionals, tourists, and K-drama fans. Restaurants here tend toward the polished and premium, with a density of international cuisine, high-end Korean dining, and trendy cafés.

A few old traditional pubs. It's nice to visit with a romantic atmosphere. The beer has a good turnover rate and is well managed, so it's different from the draft beer at the neighborhood pub from the first sip. And the fried chicken is quite different because of the special frying technique. It doesn't have a military smell because they use fresh oil. Many chicken restaurants have a late oil recycling and exchange period, so the freshness can be lost, but here, there is no such feeling. The lunch buffet recently raised the price to 10,000 won, but considering the surrounding commercial area and location, it's quite cheap, and the food quality seems relatively high. I want to say that there is no place around here where you can eat food of this quality at this price.

I vividly remember my first day as a new employee in 1991, drinking beer poured by my seniors, and getting all worked up, but it's already been over thirty years. Among the snacks I remember eating that day, I remember potato gratin. I wonder if they still sell it?
