Jungsikdang 정식당

As a two-Michelin-star Korean fine dining destination, Jungsik delivers a tasting course that reimagines traditional Korean cuisine through a strikingly modern lens. It is 200m from Apgujeong Rodeo Station. Each course reveals the chef's creative ambition, applying French technique to Korean ingredients while preserving the bold, fermented flavors that define Korean cooking. The doenjang and gochujang-based sauces had remarkable depth, and the seasonal menu changes with every visit, which keeps me coming back. The wine pairing felt carefully curated to complement each dish, and the staff offered thoughtful explanations of every course. Prices are steep and reservations are essential, often needing to be booked over a month in advance due to high demand. The atmosphere strikes an appealing balance between formal and relaxed, making it ideal for a special occasion.
