Bicena

One of the best dining experiences I had while visiting Korea. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. They even served a separate dish for 2 year old boy, which he absolutely loved. The stunning sky view added an extra touch of elegance. Just fantastic!

Got to arrive early to take nice pictures. If you can drink can do the pairing. The wine are not of high value but the pairing is very well done. Over all good experience. For one star, the price is reasonable. No need to add any dish as the serving is sufficient and I was very full

Contemporary Korean food with an incredible view. We arrived a bit late due to traffic but the staff was very polite and accommodated us. All the dishes were really good but our favourites were the mugwort, spring vegetable seaweed roll, the pork jowl and the beef soup. Worth trying!

Had the chance to visit a Michelin one-star restaurant that focuses on Korean cuisine, and honestly—it blew me away. The dishes were crafted with so much care, using ingredients mostly sourced from Korea, and every course felt like a discovery. It all started with a welcome dish featuring pine noodle gamju—super flavorful and surprisingly comforting. Then came a combo of veggies, mushrooms, and seaweed wrapped in this crispy shell that added the perfect crunch. The ham wrap with spring veggies had a light kimchi vibe, not too strong but a great way to kick things off. There was a dreamy clam dish with a unique sauce, and prawn balls that were seriously next-level. One of my favorites was raw beef with pear and a house-made sauce—simple but spot on. Then came deep-fried mugwort greens paired with sea bream—an unexpected but amazing combo. The abalone with scallop paste? Super unique and delicious. The mains kept the bar high. Sea perch with Korean soybean paste and kimchi was tasty, but the pork jowl skewers really stood out—tender, flavorful, and paired nicely with pickled veggies. Loved the balance. Before the beef, we got a makgeolli sorbet to cleanse the palate, which was a smart touch. Then came Hanwoo sirloin, marinated in soy sauce and grilled medium-rare—packed with flavor and melt-in-your-mouth tender. We wrapped up with snapper rice and radish beef soup—comforting and rich. And dessert? A beautifully plated combo of persimmon and plum blossom tea, followed by a traditional yakgwa sweet that honestly made me want to fly back to Korea just for that bite again. Such a memorable meal—creative, elegant, and deeply rooted in Korean flavors.

We had a wonderful time here at Bicena. The view, the food, the service, and the atmosphere were perfect. Best restaurant I had during my time in Seoul. The Michelin star is well deserved.

This Michelin-star restaurant is the highest Korean restaurant you can eat in; you are greeted with views of the Seoul landscape as you enjoy your meal in front of the windows of the 81st floor. This is an experience where you slowly get exposed to the flavors and warmth of Korean ingredients over a multi-course meal. Our dinner lasted for 3 hours. Each course was small but so well balanced that at the end of the meal, you felt that you had eaten just enough not to have any more room! The service was excellent; the staff members were bilingual in Korean and English and described the meal nicely. It is highly recommended if you seek a fine dining experience in Korea while being exposed to traditional Korean flavors.

My husband and I celebrated my birthday at Bicena, and we had the best experience. Their dishes were amazing—innovative Korean cuisine with a fine dining twist, bold flavors, and beautifully presented. The wine pairings were perfect, including some very nice champagnes, special chardonnays, a beautiful Barolo, and more. The sommelier had excellent knowledge of the wines and explained why he chose some that were not traditionally paired. He also offered us a Korean drink that is only served at Bicena. Last but not least, the staff was very friendly, and their way of explaining the courses was very pleasant. They made our lovely night even more special. Thank you for a great evening, and I hope to return one day!
