Set in a beautifully restored traditional building near Insadong, Congdu serves creative modern Korean cuisine that draws on temple food traditions and seasonal ingredients. The menu is largely vegetable-forward with some meat options, and the presentation is artistic without being pretentious. The setting — wooden beams, courtyard views, soft lighting — makes it one of the most atmospheric dining rooms in Seoul. Reservations are recommended, especially for dinner.
