These establishments have passed the judging panel’s strict criteria, boasting original recipes, top-quality seasonal ingredients, and a sophisticated, stylish ambiance.
We explore the unique charms of these three standout spots, which are at the forefront of culinary trends and are already expected to face intense competition for reservations.
Mugook
Muguok is a space where traditional beauty and modern elegance coexist, created by renovating a hanok.
You’ll have to wait in a long line to try the restaurant’s signature dish, “North Korean-style Samgyetang Set Meal,” but it’s well worth the wait.
Trattoria Romagna

An authentic Italian restaurant helmed by a chef who trained at a prestigious Italian culinary school.
Here, you can enjoy fresh, hand-rolled pasta and home-style dishes that capture the authentic flavors of Italy, making it a great choice for special occasions like birthdays or anniversaries.
Bawi Pasta Bar

Bawi Pasta Bar, which presents unique dishes every season using fresh, seasonal ingredients.
The signature fresh pasta truly shines when paired with wine or spirits that complement the dishes perfectly. To ensure the best pairing, ordering at least one drink per person is required.
