The Ninth Gate

The 12 Best New Restaurants in Seoul, South Korea | Eater

"Korea’s oldest French restaurant inside the Westin Chosun Hotel has been ahead of its time since it opened its doors in 1924. This is where Caesar salads, eggs Benedicts, and other Western delicacies were first introduced to Koreans. After a dramatic makeover in 2017, the Ninth Gate Grille continues its trendsetting legacy, now as a contemporary wine bar with a slate of modern, globally inspired dishes and a cheese and charcuterie selection curated by Soyoung Scanlan of California’s Andante Dairy. A range of wines offered by the glass caters to Seoul’s fast-growing crowd of casual oenophiles." - Matty Kim
