Food Scene

It's at this location, called Cacaosome. Fanatics about chocolate, the owner goes up to Dominican Republic to choose her own caocao beans, then brings it back to Korea to do one of the best chocolates I've ever eaten. And it's cheap!

Donkastu & (and what? That's Korean style English...) A nice Donkatsu place, minced fried pork. I suggest the Heu-Le-Shi (Fresh) recipe, with cold oignon/apple/pesto sauce.

Miari Guksu A noodle place that is opened very late (24h?) serving nice and cheap cold noodles, I recommend the Yeolmu Kimchi one. Perfect dish to try in summer.

There is a Bonjuk, a congee place, nice and easy to digest, light and dietetic meal. Right next to eat, there is a very good homemade dumpling place, it's steaming from the outside in big round metal cases. The owner is very kind. I suggest you to try the mini-mandu.

Lotteria, If you crave for junk food with a Korean twist. This is the Korean hamburger place. I recommand Hanwoo Bulgogi Burger. It's the best hamburger meat you can get, made with very high quality Korean beef. And with that, cheese sticks are very tasty.

Entertainment & Activities

KU Cinematrap (don't Google it, the adress is wrong there, follow my guide). A great independent cinema, with lot of arthouse and also bigger movies, inside a big wood building on top of a long staircase. Right next to it is a coffee shop called Twosome Place, with a terrace. Trees, relaxing atmosphere, this place is full of charm and joy.
