Gwanghwamun sushi restaurant with grilled red seabream cheek: Elephant

Elephant Sushi Gwanghwamun is a sushi restaurant in the basement of the KT building in Jongno, Seoul. The writer ordered the Elephant B set (12 pieces plus cold soba), a full plate of salmon sushi, and a ₩5,000 side of salt-grilled red seabream cheek. The B set's lineup of monkfish liver, tuna belly, and torched squid makes it a good pick for a day you want something more special than basic sushi, and the warm grilled fish side makes the whole meal feel much more filling.

Packed jambon jalapeño coffee set for lunch: Dance Dance Dance

Dance Dance Dance Seoul Station is a baguette sandwich brunch spot on B3 of Grand Central near Seoul Station. The writer packed a jambon jalapeño sandwich coffee set for 15,400 won and a chocolate chip scone for 4,400 won to eat at the office and at home, and even after time passed, the baguette stayed crispy outside and the scone kept its crunch. Seats disappear fast at lunch, so takeout is the realistic move.
