L’Amant Secret

Amount the best possible restaurant in Seoul. Every dishes are perfect, using seasonal ingredients. Very talented Chef and a great service team.

**"A truly unforgettable experience— one I'll cherish for a lifeti me!** I booked this restaurant after seeing Chef Seon on *The Fridg e Show* on Netflix (lol). Given how popular it is, I felt incredibly lucky to secure a spot on my exact desired date, March 25th— especially after flying all the way from Australia to Korea. From start to finish, the experience was perfect. Every detail was exceptional, but I especially want to thank the kind lady w ho served us. Her English was perfect, and she even surprised us with madeleines when we left! I'm so grateful for her warm h and hospitality. The chefs are amazing from the start to finish. They should be proud of themselves for creating these dishes. I hope to return one day-both for the incredible food and to s ee her again!

This was possibly the best meal of my entire life. I would give it 10 stars if I could! From the start to the end, everything was so carefully thought of and there’s nothing I can think of that could make it better. Menu - I love that each menu is printed with your name, it feels so personal and just makes you feel good. It comes with a nice envelope as well for you to take home as a little souvenir Food - every dish was so creative, and the different flavours came together so intricately. The flavour profile of every dish was amazing and they really don’t skimp out on anything. I’ve been to many fine dining restaurants and some have dishes that are hits and misses but everything here was a hit. Service - didn’t get her name but there was this particularly smiley waitress who I really liked! Her recommendations for the wines, offering a second serving of a sauce I liked, and friendliness was just the cherry on top to our night. The chefs and this waitress also miraculously understood our situation without us mentioning anything, and provided some 서비스 which really added a personal touch and we highly appreciated it. Atmosphere - tables are more than adequately spaced out, window view is awesome especially during the sunset, music is so relaxing and lights are not too dim yet not too bright. A perfectly romantic intimate setting. Ladies’ bathroom also has a pretty view of namsan tower! Everything about this experience feels like a fever dream and I would go back time and time again if I lived in Korea! I cannot recommend this restaurant enough, it has a special place in my heart now. I will forever cherish this memory!

This place is super amazing 🤩 Service is amicable and the whole course was done in perfection ❤️ menu was scripted with guess name. Such small details really add on to a romantic experience. It’s a long overdue review. We had our dinner on 25th Jan 2025

Honestly I could have cried. My first dining experience in Korea (also my first time solo dining) and it was absolute perfection. The staff were lovely beyond words. Friendly and welcoming and absolute professionals. The food was incredible - if I had to pick a personal favourite I’d be torn between the caviar + winter root vegetables, and the scallop + pohangcho. And the Memories of Jeju Island! And the Goodbye Kiss! I was a little worried to hear they didn’t do cocktails as I’m not into wine however the white wine the sommelier chose for me was the best white wine I’ve ever tasted. The beautiful fine dining touches were present - from careful timing of topping up drinks to wiping the table of bread crumbs to perfectly paced courses to providing towels and water for hand cleansing. I implore you to visit this beautiful restaurant - the stunning decor and ambience starts from the moment you walk through the entrance to the building. And if you appreciate wine, it’s a must - the wine list is epic. L’amant Secret has certainly set the bar incredibly high for the rest of my time in Seoul!

I took a friend here to celebrate her birthday and it was an unforgettable experience. This place is a true work of art. Every dish was presented and tasted wonderfully. The interior is lovely, creating an intimate and romantic atmosphere, perfect for special occasions. ❤️

5 star all around!! Every dish is tasty, creative and so well presented. They incorporate some local Korean ingredients which is so fun. Service is top notch. Did I mention they let you pick pretty much as many chocolates in the end as you want? I will definitely come back again when they change menu. Highly recommend!!!

Really liked the ambience of the restaurant. The floral decoration as you entered the restaurant was visually stunning. Their sour dough and butter was really delicious, and I couldn’t help but keep going for another piece throughout the lunch. The pumpkin butter was to die for. I personally don’t enjoy dill, but they somehow managed to make it delicious with their halibut dish. The attention to detail of the waiter was amazing. It somehow came up during our conversation that I was visiting from Canada, and he went back to the kitchen and asked the chefs to add a maple leaf to the cake decor, which I really appreciated. In addition, he saw how much I enjoyed the sour dough bread throughout the lunch and packed an additional loaf for me to take home after the meal. Overall, definitely would recommend visiting, and I’d love to come back for dinner one day.
