On a reserved late-autumn lunch visit, the writer looked around the terrace facing Inwangsan Mountain and tried, without alcohol, the snail doenjang risotto (25,000 won), grilled chicken neck with bok choy (18,000 won) and a seasonal namul salad (18,000 won). With well-judged seasoning and familiar ingredients reworked in new ways, De Mitt suits a quiet Seochon date. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1F, 18-13 Jahamun-ro 5-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul - **Opening hours**: Fri–Wed 11:00–22:50, Thu 15:00–22:50 - **Location**: About a 6-minute walk from Gyeongbokgung Station - **How to order**: Order from the tablet menu at your table - **Lunch menu**: Available on weekdays and weekends, lunch hours only, until 2 PM - **Snail doenjang risotto**: 25,000 won - **Grilled chicken neck with bok choy**: 18,000 won - **Seasonal namul salad**: 18,000 won - **Price reference**: ₩25,000 ≈ $18.5 · ₩18,000 ≈ $13.5 (2026-10-18) *as written by the visitor on Oct 19, 2026* ![Main photo of De Mitt, a hanok Korean dining restaurant in Seochon](https://img.superchart.com/images/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date-01-1nrfz-m-1200.webp) Today I'm introducing De Mitt (드밑), a lovely Seochon Korean dining spot that's perfect for autumn weather :) You get hanok (traditional Korean house) vibes in a pretty tile-roofed house, plus a wide-open view of Inwangsan mountain that's honestly healing. It's a place where you can enjoy high-quality dishes that give familiar ingredients a fun new touch, together with alcohol ☺️ ## How do you get to De Mitt from Gyeongbokgung Station? De Mitt is at 18-13 Jahamun-ro 5-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, about a 6-minute walk from Gyeongbokgung Station. It's open 11:00–22:50 from Friday to Wednesday, and 15:00–22:50 on Thursday. ![Seochon alley on the way from Gyeongbokgung Station to De Mitt](https://img.superchart.com/images/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date-02-lctkc-966.webp) It's tucked into a quiet Seochon alley, so it was a great spot to relax for a bit away from the busy weekend crowds. ![Charming Seochon alley scenery on the way to De Mitt](https://img.superchart.com/images/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date-03-177m6-966.webp) ![Seochon alley with a Korean feel around De Mitt](https://img.superchart.com/images/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date-04-11g9d-966.webp) Even the walk there was so Korean and charmingly pretty that it felt like a perfect Seochon date course. ## What are the interior and the Inwangsan view terrace like? ![Exterior of De Mitt, a Korean dining restaurant in Seochon](https://img.superchart.com/images/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date-05-ykvxm-966.webp) De Mitt is a Seochon Korean dining restaurant serving fusion Korean dishes that add modern cooking methods to traditional Korean food. I made a reservation in advance this time! ![De Mitt interior in wood and ivory tones](https://img.superchart.com/images/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date-06-1620u-966.webp) ![Seating inside De Mitt with a hanok feel](https://img.superchart.com/images/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date-07-1sm97-966.webp) The warm interior blends clean wood tones with ivory, and it felt very modern yet strongly Korean in character ☺️ There's a balcony-like terrace where you can see the scenery outside, so I took a few photos. Getting that chest-opening feeling, so unlike the crowded city, right in a Seochon alley by Gyeongbokgung Station..! I almost regretted not coming sooner 🥹 It was a day with a beautiful blue autumn sky and a gentle breeze~ and since we went for a late lunch, it wasn't crowded, so we could chat and eat in peace. De Mitt is a Seochon date restaurant with real atmosphere. ## De Mitt's menu and lunch hours ![Tablet menu on a De Mitt table](https://img.superchart.com/images/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date-08-1l1f6-966.webp) ![Lunch menu screen on De Mitt's tablet menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date-09-1bfwt-966.webp) You view the menu and order directly on the tablet menu (Pay Here) at your table. It's mostly fusion Korean dishes that work both as drinking snacks and as meals. The lunch menu is available on weekdays and weekends, but only during lunch hours until 2 PM, so plan your visit around when you want to eat :) ![List of De Mitt's fusion Korean meal dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date-10-ex2kt-966.webp) ![De Mitt menu screen with risotto, oksimi and noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date-11-19sop-966.webp) The menu was quite varied, from carb dishes good for a meal, like risotto, oksimi (rice-flour dumplings), tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) and noodles, to all kinds of meat dishes and soups. ![De Mitt menu screen with meat dishes and soups](https://img.superchart.com/images/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date-12-rpz1x-966.webp) ![De Mitt alcohol menu screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date-13-1a190-966.webp) ![De Mitt list of alcohol including makgeolli](https://img.superchart.com/images/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date-14-1vasq-966.webp) ![De Mitt drinks menu screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date-15-7x0z6-966.webp) ![Additional alcohol and drinks menu screen at De Mitt](https://img.superchart.com/images/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date-16-1ae29-966.webp) The drinks and alcohol list was varied too. I wanted a glass of makgeolli (Korean rice wine) that day, but I wasn't feeling well, so I ate with a plain mouth(?), which was honestly the only disappointment of this Seochon date..! ## What we ordered at De Mitt and the prices ![Spread of fusion Korean dishes ordered at De Mitt](https://img.superchart.com/images/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date-17-u9mo9-966.webp) - Snail doenjang risotto ₩25,000 - Grilled chicken neck with bok choy ₩18,000 - Seasonal namul salad ₩18,000 ### How does the snail doenjang risotto taste? The first dish out was the snail doenjang (fermented soybean paste) risotto (₩25,000). It gave off a nutty aroma that made me hungry right away, a real appetite-teasing smell, hehe. With cheese sprinkled on top and loads of snails inside, it looked hearty just by sight. The portion isn't huge for a full meal, but it felt just right to share alongside a drink. ![De Mitt snail doenjang risotto topped with cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date-18-1dih2-966.webp) ![A bowl of doenjang risotto full of snails](https://img.superchart.com/images/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date-19-rbtww-966.webp) I especially liked the chewy, bouncy bite from the barley mixed in. Since it's a dish meant to go with drinks, it was moderately salty, with a kind of miso-and-butter feel. Familiar yet new, a young take on Korean food, and totally my taste *.* The snail meat had a great texture too! It's a risotto that anyone, of any age, would enjoy. ![De Mitt grilled chicken neck with pickled bok choy](https://img.superchart.com/images/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date-20-ned2a-966.webp) ### How is the grilled chicken neck with bok choy? Next came De Mitt's grilled chicken neck with bok choy (₩18,000), a combination where the bok choy is pickled, which makes it more refreshing. ![Grilled chicken neck with shredded scallion and bok choy](https://img.superchart.com/images/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date-21-1gqt9-966.webp) The chicken neck was crisp outside and chewy inside, clean and tasty without any strong seasoning, and with the shredded scallion and bok choy it was a perfect match *.* There weren't many reviews of this dish, so I hesitated a bit, but overall the seasoning at De Mitt was just right and each dish felt thoughtfully put together, so they were fun to eat >.< ![Seasonal namul salad topped with melon and ricotta cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date-22-18bkk-966.webp) ![De Mitt seasonal namul salad with doenjang dressing](https://img.superchart.com/images/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date-23-etryz-966.webp) ### Seasonal namul salad with melon and ricotta cheese De Mitt's seasonal namul (seasoned greens) salad (₩18,000) comes with ricotta cheese and melon alongside a doenjang-based dressing. It seems like an appetizer but surprisingly came out last, and it was one of the most impressive dishes, taking something that could be predictable and making it feel so different, hehehe. It's autumn, so melon isn't really in its tastiest season, but it was sweet, soft and delicious anyway. It had a fresh sweet-and-salty balance that works as either a dessert or an appetizer! 💞 ### Ask for pickles separately When I asked De Mitt for pickles separately, they gave me cabbage pickles, and with them, things like the risotto definitely went down more easily! If you're having this as a meal, I especially recommend eating them together 😁 ## Who I recommend De Mitt in Seochon to ![Closing photo of the visit to De Mitt, a Korean dining restaurant in Seochon](https://img.superchart.com/images/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date-24-60w1y-966.webp) - People looking for a Seochon date restaurant with great atmosphere - People looking for a Korean dining spot that isn't predictable - People looking for a nice restaurant near Gyeongbokgung Station ## Where it is - De Mitt (드밑 De Mitt) - 18-13 Jahamun-ro 5-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 종로구 자하문로5길 18-13 1층 - 37.5779177, 126.9701612 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%93%9C%EB%B0%91%20De%20Mitt/@37.5779177,126.9701612,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-compact-mirror-brunch-queue/seochon-de-mitt-inwangsan-view-date/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
