Food in Seoul

Short answer

Eating well in Seoul is mostly about knowing how things work: which market stalls stay open late, how barbecue is ordered, and when cash still matters. These guides cover the mechanics, not a list of favourite restaurants.

Seoul's food is easy to find and occasionally hard to order. Menus assume you know the dish, barbecue tables assume a minimum order, and markets keep different hours from the shops around them.

These guides explain how each place works, from the market food alley to the grill table, with the hours and prices checked against the operators and the city. They do not rank restaurants on taste, because that would need a visit we have not made.
