The 38 Best Restaurants in Seoul, South Korea

"Open for: Early breakfast through dinner Price range: $ Opened in 2016, Cafe Onion revolutionized the Seoul cafe scene with its first location in a converted factory in Seongsu, signaling the beginning of the former industrial zone’s transformation into a trendy hub filled with fashion brands and pop-up stores. Each of its four locations occupies a unique historic building, but the third branch in Anguk stands out for its stunning renovation of a century-old hanok. Combining modern design with traditional Korean aesthetics, the cafe offers a serene escape with expertly brewed coffee from house-roasted beans and a selection of freshly baked pastries. Vibe check: Takeout lines tend to be shorter, but for the best experience, wait for a seat inside." - Matty Kim

This was so so good. We waited in line to sit outside for maybe 15/20 minutes. Once we got inside it was quick. Everything was so amazing. The chocolate salt bread was incredible and the sausage roll was delicious. I wish we could have come back more times. Drinks were fantastic as well.

Onion Anguk is such a beautiful café — the design truly captures the essence of Korea. 🇰🇷✨ Their sourdough with avocado was absolutely delicious, and the variety of pastries is honestly impressive — so many tempting options to choose from! But be prepared: it gets super crowded, and you might have to wait a bit. Still, it’s 100% worth it for the vibe, the flavors, and the photos. A must-visit if you’re in Seoul!

The pasties and ambiance are 10/10. The line was quite long when we arrived, but moved quickly. You have the option to choose the dine in line or take out line. We chose dine in. You are seated and then head to the bakery to choose your pastries. All were delicious. Was hoping for more savoury or protein options.

The cafe is set up in a traditional Korean style housing, very cosy and comfortable. We were lucky only waited about 10 minutes. There are air-conditioning rooms and non air-conditioning outdoor sitting. Once you find your seats, proceed to the service area to select the assortment of pastries and your drinks. There is also a takeaway bag if you can't finish your pastries as you probably would want to order everything. The pastries are delicious and, of course, pretty that you hesitate to eat.

Beautiful setting. Very organized with 2 separate queues for take out and dine in. The pastries unfortunately were not as delicious as they looked. We tried their signature pastry and it was just not to my liking. The cheese filling in the garlic bread was oddly sweet, even though the bread itself was very good.

Neat little cafe. There was a bit of a wait when I got there a bit past lunchtime. You wait outside and they let people in as people leave. You claim a table first and then go get your food and drinks. The hazelnut cream pastry was a cream puff stuffed with nearly frozen hazelnut cream. I think it was supposed to be that way since it came with a spoon. The strawberry pastry was pretty good too.

Modernized Bakery in a very photogenic traditional house. The coffee and baked goods were all delicious. We went around 10am Wednesday. We were a party of 6, and waited about 15-20 min before we were seated at a floor sitting table (needs to take shoes off in that area). It took us another 10-ish min to queue for the food and drinks. It was crowded but the staff were friendly and helpful, and we didn't feel like they were rushing us out.

Atmosphere is great. This branch is very homey and it has lots of indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to stay indoors where we are asked to remove out footwear and sit on the floor. If you’re uncomfortable doing this, they also have usual chairs and tables outside. You will have to walk to the cashier where all breads are also displayed. We liked the sea salt chocolate bread and any pastry with berries. Coffee was also good. I’ve shared the receipt here for your reference. They accept card payments. 💦Restroom has bidet and is clean. There are several cublicles inside. Has soap, has sanitizer 😬
