Sallering Daehak-ro is a poke, salad, and wrap restaurant in Jongno, Seoul. I built a shrimp and scallop bibimbap poke with vegetables and oil dressing, plus a Cleanse Green Juice, for a light but satisfying lunch. Verdict: a comfortable solo meal before a Daehak-ro performance or afternoon plans.
Meono Kkameona Daehangno Branch is an Indian restaurant in Jongno, Seoul. I slowly shared shrimp, naan, dal tadka, lassi, and salad for dinner, with the plump shrimp dish standing out most. Verdict: a good pick for an evening when you want to mix and match several Indian dishes.
Cheonghwawon is a Chinese restaurant in Jongno, Seoul, serving beef knife-cut noodles, dim sum, and shareable dishes. I shared beef knife-cut noodles, shumai, and guobaorou upstairs for a filling lunch. Verdict: a handy three-dish combination for groups who want variety.
Munhwa Bakery is a small takeout bakery in Jongno, Seoul, near Jongno 3-ga Station and Ikseon-dong. After visiting the Korean Traditional Music Museum, I picked up garlic bread, white bean paste bread, and milk cream bread for my family. Verdict: A convenient stop for taking home snacks after a Jongno stroll.
Iseol Myeonok Suyu Main Branch is a Korean restaurant near the April 19th National Cemetery in Gangbuk, Seoul. I had Seoul-style old-fashioned bulgogi and bibim naengmyeon, then took a slow walk around the 4.19 Tower under clear skies. Verdict: a satisfying lunch-and-stroll route for a nice day.
