when i was planning the japan trip with my dad, seoul came up as a place to visit since we'd be in the area. as such, i did a lot of research for things to do. since i'm not going during this trip, i thought i'd share some of the places in the city that i think look cool. places marked with an asterisk look especially interesting to me. i always find that eating good food makes me feel better. 🍣

restaurants and bars

• 연어롭다 - the food in the photos looks really good.
• 7th door - 1 star michelin korean.
• m29 bar - looks like they have a legit cocktail menu.
• *mitou - 2 star michelin japanese. want to go.
• *sushido - it took a while to find quality sushi at a decent price, but i found it eventually. open for lunch and dinner.
