Where to eat, by neighborhood
Seoul 22 verified places →
Seoul eats in layers: century-old soup houses that open before dawn, market alleys frying mung-bean pancakes on stone mills, third-generation naengmyeon specialists, and barbecue rooms that have outlived every trend. This guide organizes our verified classics by neighborhood — because in Seoul, where you are decides what you should be eating.
Busan 5 verified places →
Korea's second city is its greatest seafood town and arguably its best food-value city, with an identity all its own: dwaeji-gukbap (pork soup-rice) instead of Seoul's beef soups, chewy milmyeon instead of buckwheat naengmyeon, and the country's proudest fish cake tradition. Add the film locations of Gukje Market and a coastline of raw-fish houses, and Busan justifies a food trip on its own.
