Daehangno Saturday lunch wait and window seat for two: Omil Hyehwa
Omil Hyehwa Daehangno is a fusion Western restaurant on the second floor of a building on Daemyeong-gil in Jongno, Seoul. Arriving for Saturday lunch with a friend, the writer found Omil fully seated, walked two laps around the neighborhood, then took a window table for two and ordered the set of rubber-duck omurice and gochujang butter pasta, adding salmon steak gnocchi and corn fritters. The gochujang butter pasta was the best dish of the day, and since the rubber-duck omurice comes with a duck toy to take home, Omil suits both dates and meals out with kids.
