The best way to beat the Seoul winter cold is with warm soup. Start your day in Samgakji at ‘Oilje’ with a comforting bowl of perilla seed seaweed soup—an open-run worthy spot! Then, explore the hip side of Yongsan. From a renovated paint shop cafe to ‘Neungdong Minari’ serving clear beef bone soup with fresh water parsley, this neighborhood is a treasure trove of flavors. Don’t forget to check out ‘Kinder Salmon’ for some feminine minimal look shopping!

2. Gangnam & Nonhyeon: A Blend of Taste and Style

Moving to the Gangnam area, we find a different vibe. Enjoy a hearty bowl of Kal-guksu (knife-cut noodles) with savory pancakes in Nonhyeon-dong, perfect for a meal with parents. For a touch of elegance, visit ‘Super Pan’, a Korean bistro by chef Woo Jeong-uk, offering refined home-style dishes like Seoritae Mascarpone. Finish your tour at ‘Eastern Edition’, a tea house and furniture showroom where you can enjoy tea courses amidst beautiful antique collections.

3. Culture & Coffee: Sangam’s Hidden Gems

For a cultural detox, head to Sangam-dong. Grab a ‘Strapazzato’ at ‘Lissar Coffee’, an espresso bar located in the MBC lobby, to recharge your caffeine levels. Then, visit the ‘Korean Film Archive’ for a free movie experience—watching classics like Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon in a library setting is a special treat. It’s the perfect indoor date course to escape the freezing weather while soaking up some artistic inspiration.

4. The Grand Finale: Noryangjin Fisheries Market

No winter in Seoul is complete without ‘Daebangeo’ (Large Yellowtail)! Head to the bustling Noryangjin Fisheries Wholesale Market to pick up fresh sashimi. Pairing the fatty, rich yellowtail with citron kimchi and seaweed is the ultimate winter delicacy. Whether you take it home or dine in at one of the market’s restaurants with spicy fish stew (Maeuntang), this is the quintessential Seoul seafood experience you can’t miss.
