Sit on chairs at tables for this modern take on royal cuisine as you work your way through multiple dishes such as yukhoe (Korean steak tartare) and kujolpan (nine-dish crêpe wraps); book a table with windows overlooking the Cheong-gye-cheon. It’s gourmet, foreigner-friendly and a popular spot for business lunches and family visitors. There’s another branch in Gangnam.
