Seoul Restaurants (By Neighborhood) Seoul is a great place to experience a wide variety of spicy yet mouth-watering foods, especially the local cuisine with its distinctive tastes based on garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, red pepper powder and fermented soybean paste. Korean dishes, such as Bibimpab (vegetables mixed with rice and hot pepper paste, topped with a cooked egg), Kalbi (succulent beef ribs marinated in a special sauce, then char-broiled), and Kimchi (Chinese cabbage or radish, salted and impregnated with various spices, including red hot pepper powder and pickled fish sauces), are becoming increasingly popular around the world.

Dining out in Seoul can cost as little as 2,500won (US$2) per person to as much as 80,000won (US$73), and even more, for a full meal. For a good, inexpensive restaurant serving traditional Korean food, your best bet is Nolboojip, where you can enjoy a traditional Korean dinner in a country-style setting with traditional live music playing in the background. For just 10,000won (US$9) per person, you can enjoy about 10 different side dishes, along with a bowl of rice and two types of soup. Many other smaller restaurants and department stores also serve great tasting traditional Korean meals at prices starting from 2,500won to 5,000won (US$2-4). These restaurants are located all over the city and easy to find. Kimchi, in fact, is the country’s staple, accompanying almost every meal. Most of the city’s restaurants, whether high-priced or inexpensive, large or small, serve this popular condiment as a side dish. As many Koreans put it, "A meal without Kimchi would be like trying to walk without legs." The existence of some 200 kinds of Kimchi shows how important it is to the local diet. Healthy, nutritious and low in calories, Korean food is made up chiefly from a large selection of vegetables. You will probably be able to eat as much as you want without gaining weight. Traditionally, Korean meals are not served in courses. Instead, all of the dishes are placed on the table at the same time, the main dish almost always being accompanied by a bowl of rice, soup, Kimchi and several side dishes. There is no set order in which the food should be eaten; it is entirely up to personal preference.
