Top 3 Steakhouse in Seoul, Butcheli House
#visitseoul
Preparing a steak seems easy, but a well and fine texture is very difficult to be achieved. This restaurant located at the Hannam area of Seoul is very famous for its Steak course. Crispy at the outside and tender in the inside, the steak is prepared at perfection at the medium rare standard . Other dishes such as the garlic bread, truffle oil fries, shrimp in hell and cheese with asparagus is also a hit. The vongole pasta is extremely nice as the shells was still alive before cooking which gives a taste of freshness to the pasta. Will definitely come again in other special occasion. Do remember to reserve as space is likely not available for walk in.
Address: 1-90 Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul
Chinese Bistro "Su", a taste of Korean Chinese Food
The influence of Chinese Food in Korea can be traced back several 100 years ago, and the most common of them are Jjajangmyeon, Jjampong, and some dishes like dried chilli fried chicken, mixed vegetables etc. This restaurant in Yongsan called Chinese Bistro "Su" 秀is a great hangout place for office workers after work. The dishes are prepared on the spot with fresh ingredients used and portion is also rather big, most of them for sharing. We ordered dried chilli chicken and stir fried vegetables and they are great to go with rice or with beer. One of the very good place to dine in.
Dotori Cafe, a Studio Ghibli inspired cafe
The characters in Studio Ghibli productions, like Ponyo, Tottoro etc is well known to those who watched the animes. This cafe in Yongsan, Seoul remodeled an old house to give an impression of village house in Studio Ghibli. Located at an alley behind the main road, this shop gives the customer a brief feeling of mystery towards an unknown house. There are a wide variety of menus such as salted butter bread, pastries, financiers as well as juices. Typically a very nice place to visit after a late night dinner.

Old Ferry Donut
[Old Ferry Donut]
(@oldferrydonut)

~ Seoul Dessert ♪ ☕️🍰🍩 ~
・
☆ Raspberry donut ₩ 5,000
☆ Tiramusi donut ₩ 4,700
☆ Tube Latte ₩ 4,300
•
If you’re a self-proclaimed donut connoisseur, put Old Ferry Donut at the top of your cafe wishlist. About five minutes from Hangangjin Station, this nautical wood-accented cafe specialises in all kinds of donut creations, from classic frosted to upsized and superfilled.
In terms of texture, Old Ferry’s donuts are light and extra-fluffy, rather than dense or doughy. One of the must-tries is the Raspberry Donut. This filled donut is topped with a glossy layer of raspberry frosting, and is stuffed with an insane amount of raspberry jam. The pieces of macerated raspberries add a great pop of tartness and texture. Other bestsellers include Matcha, Coconut and Tiramisu.
Their signature Tube Latte features a miniature pink-frosted donut floating atop a pillow of milk foam. If you’re wondering why the mini donut looks so familiar, its name – Strawberry Homer Simpson – might give you a clue. Fish out the donut and eat it first, before it soaks up too much coffee.

C.Trough Cafe
[C.Trough Cafe] (@C.through)
--------
If you though latte art was impressive, C. Through Cafe takes the skill several levels up. The owner-barista Lee Kang Bin has a huge social media following, thanks to his incredible skills and creativity displayed in his Cream Art drinks.
With a canvas of Dutch coffee layered with velvety sweet cream, Lee draws all his designs by hand. Ranging from life-like blossom trees to incredibly intricate renditions of Van Gough’s Starry Night, these coffee masterpieces are almost too pretty to drink.
You can also request for a custom-made drink with a special message – but you’ll have to secure a reservation on Instagram first, as this is only done once a day.
Through Cafe also offers a range of unconventional crafted drinks, with the Scotchino being a bestseller. Served in an overflowing ceramic cup, this coffee-based drink is infused with butterscotch candy. It’s topped with both cocoa and coffee powder, resulting in a fragrant drink that’s lightly sweet with a touch of bitterness.
Address: 403-3, Itaewon-dong, Yongsan-gu, South Korea.
Opening Hours: Daily, 12pm – 10pm.

A Must-Visit for Couples: N Seoul Tower Love Story
I've lived in Seoul for many years, but this was my first time taking the cable car...! Namsan Tower looks even more impressive up close than from afar. It's a great place to create wonderful memories :) You can see Namsangol Hanok Village and even the Han River in the distance. The panoramic view of Seoul is breathtaking◡̎ 💕 The bus service is convenient, and it's fun to see tourists and lock your love locks. It was the best experience!

A Must-Visit in Seoul: A Day at N Seoul Tower
My foreign friend has always wanted to visit the Namsan Tower Observatory in Seoul! While you can enjoy the view without going up to the observatory, the panoramic view from the top is simply the best👍. There are also performances around the tower and the Love Locks path, which are quite fun to explore🩷. There are plenty of places to sit at the observatory, and you can enjoy a panoramic view of Seoul, making it worth a visit at least once. Trip.com offers discounts for reservations, so I recommend booking in advance for a visit :)

This terrace cafe, What a Bread, in Yongsan has a full American vibe.
⏱Business Hours: Daily 11:30 AM - 9:00 PM
This is a bakery cafe inspired by America and MBTI. Sometimes, cafes that focus too much on their concept can lose the quality of their bread, but this place has managed to excel in both. There aren't many total bakeries of this scale in this area, so my expectations were high, and I was truly satisfied! Everything from the taste to the interior was perfect. The MBTI-themed bread is so creative. I think I'll visit every time I'm in Yongsan! 👍

PATH ROASTERS A PLACE WITH AN ATMOSPHERE THAT IS HIGHLY FOCUSED ON COFFEE
Just a short uphill walk from Seoul Station, you'll find 'Path Roasters' in Huam-dong. The name 'Path' signifies a small path created by people passing by, reflecting the owner's hope that the love for coffee and the steps of customers will come together to create a coffee culture.
The space, previously a real estate office, has been remodeled into a clean, white-toned interior with a long coffee bar and only a few tables, creating an atmosphere solely focused on coffee. As a roastery café, they roast their own beans and offer a variety of filter coffees with a seasonal lineup. The bar and the coffee brewing area are close together, allowing customers to watch the meticulous process of coffee making up close. The coffee was so delicious that I even bought another cup to take away on my way out!
Next time, I must go back to try a different bean.

SHONIHO CAFÉ WITH AN EXOTIC VIBE
1.
Located in a narrow alley between shabby old buildings in Yongsan,
when you open the blue door,
you'll find 'Shonino'.
With an interior that seems directly imported from Italy's Positano,
it's a place that many people visit. As soon as you open the door,
you'll feel the fresh lemon scent,
giving it an even more exotic feel.
2.
The interior is adorned in lemon-like yellow hues,
beautifully decorated with plants,
creating a refreshing atmosphere under the high ceiling
despite its small space, there's no feeling of stuffiness.
It was also nice to watch the chefs cook
with dedication in the open kitchen.
3.
You can enjoy refreshing snacks like 'Caprese',
and the excellent combination of moist egg yolk, salmon, and avocado
in the 'Salmon Egg Benedict',
and the full-bodied aroma of seafood in the 'Seafood Pasta'.
Various brunch menus are prepared,
focusing on Italian home-cooked dishes.
Along with matching alcoholic beverages,
you can also taste perfect desserts like refreshing lemon cake
and moist tiramisu.
It seems perfect to visit with lovers or friends
to enjoy a daytime drink in such good weather,
or even with parents,
it would be just righth

This restaurant prides herself with an open style concept kitchen which guests will be able to have a full view of their meals prepared. The lunch course features a 9 course menu, starting from appertizers, soups, side dishes, main course, desserts etc.
The restaurant manager will explain each dishes in detailed and the way dishes were prepared. The specialty of this restaurant is that they specializes in preparing Korean dishes using contemporary modern style method, and blending the traditional elements together. We especially loves the soup, potato pancake and the main course. This 2 hour meal is an excellent experience for us. The cost for the original course is KRW 140,000 but we upgraded 1 of our course with steak, by adding a KRW 30,000 on our bill. We were very satisfied and will visit again.
