Daehangno Nepali-Indian restaurant, vegetable pakora: Meono Kkameona

Meono Kkameona Daehangno Branch is an Indian and Nepali restaurant in Daehangno, Seoul, a 3-minute walk from Hyehwa Station Exit 3. On a quirky date with a friend, the order was Set B — green salad, tandoori chicken, curry, naan and lassi — plus vegetable pakora, and the tandoor-baked butter naan with the thick plain lassi was the most memorable pairing. With its exotic interior plus private rooms and group seating, Meono Kkameona works for both food-focused dates and larger gatherings in Daehangno.

Korean BBQ near Seoul Arts Center: bulgogi and cold noodles, Seogyeong

Seogyeong Hanwoo Plaza Arts Center branch is a hanwoo (Korean beef) butcher restaurant in Bangbae-dong, Seocho, Seoul, right by the Seoul Arts Center. Arriving at opening time, the writer ordered hanwoo cow bulgogi and chilmyeon (cold arrowroot noodles), and the best part was the yukssam combo — tender bulgogi simmered in its shallow seasoned broth, then wrapped in the chewy arrowroot noodles. With private rooms, a self-serve side dish corner and free basement parking, Seogyeong Hanwoo Plaza is an easy pick for work dinners and family meals.
