  Hani Seoul

  03173 3-1, 2nd Floor, Saemunan-ro 5ga-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul

  "A detailed Hanwoo feast encountered in Gwanghwamun, Hani Seoul" Chef Jang Hani, who appeared on the Black and White Chef show, has opened a Hanwoo specialty restaurant, Hani Seoul, behind the Sejong Center in Gwanghwamun. The method of aging meat using nuruk to enhance umami is impressive, and customers can observe the aging process directly inside the restaurant, which raises expectations. The meal starts with eye-catching side dishes. The homemade kimchi and pickles were delightful, and the combination of sea urchin, sweet shrimp, and seaweed was memorable. The yukhoe (raw beef) was enhanced with anchovy sauce and shiitake mushrooms, and a variety of Hanwoo cuts such as tenderloin, tongue, sirloin, and brisket can be enjoyed. In particular, the tenderloin marinated with herbal honey and the combination with rice was satisfying. The quality of the soy sauce marinated crab, seafood doenjang (soybean paste), and seasoned greens soup was high, making the entire dining experience feel solid, not just the Hanwoo.

  Veranda

  03169 9-4, Sajik-ro 10-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul

  "A small retreat in Seochon where you can linger with books and coffee, Veranda" Just a short walk from Gyeongbokgung Station, Veranda is a place that can easily be missed at first glance, as it only has a small menu board peeking out between the low traditional houses. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a cozy and warm atmosphere reminiscent of an independent bookstore. Here, you can enjoy coffee, light meals, and even wine, along with options like toast and brownies. It’s a great spot to quietly spend time reading or drawing, and the low-pressure environment makes it especially appealing for those who want to stay for a while. With books, art, plants, and decor harmoniously blended throughout, the space feels comfortable just to look at, and pets and children are welcome too. It’s a perfect place to stop by in Seochon for a break with a book and a drink, as if going for a leisurely stroll.
