The 38 Best Restaurants in Seoul, South Korea | Eater

"Although hundreds of restaurants open in Seoul every year, Geumdwaeji remains the barbecue restaurant in town, especially when it comes to pork belly, and it’s received global attention as a dining spot of choice for celebrities. Aged and cooked on a cast iron grill over briquettes, Geumdwaeji’s pork is juicy, rich, and nicely textured — everything you look for in a perfect bite — while the tangy, meaty kimchi jjigae (kimchi stew) is incredibly popular. Know before you go: The restaurant doesn’t take reservations, so be prepared to wait an hour or two by the door." - Matty Kim
