Where to Eat and Hang Out in Seoul, According to a Local Pastry Chef - AFAR

"Because it serves Korean temple food, meat and alcohol are not offered here. Instead, you’ll drink a special pine-needle tea that is naturally relaxing. I love to bring important guests to Balwoo. The servers are so soft and gentle, as if they were monks, and are great at explaining the menu in English." - Hyunhee Lee
