Jungsik does a delicious job of updating traditional Korean dishes

Jungsik is a one Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant located in Cheong-damdong, the chic area of Seoul.

What I like about it is its innovative menu, beautifully presented dishes, and the taste of the food!  It’s really popular, so getting a table might be difficult, but this is the place to go if you ever want to experience Korean dining at its finest! Overseas visitors can make reservations via email, so you don’t have to worry about making reservations only when you get to Seoul. 

Their iconic dish is Dolhareubang– a dessert served in the shape of a rock statue found on Jeju Island. You’ve probably seen it on Instagram!

Tastes as beautiful as it looks!
