Travelers to Seoul: Here are some restaurant recommendations

Daniel Lee Gray
I feel like I do these posts pretty often, but I don't mind. If you are headed to Seoul, here are my recommendations and links.

To start here is a link on tips for travelers (be sure to get a cellphone at the airport.)

And here are some restaurants I would recommend. Here is an Eel restaurant. http://www.seouleats.com/2008/07/seoul-eats-eel-in-city.html

And you can't forget about the famous Noryrangjin Fish Market

Oh, and Great Korean Bulgogi: Sariwon.

Myeongdong Calguksu is great for amazing noodle soup. It's better than Momofuko

Star Chef is a great place and run by a very popular chef.

And you can't forget about Korean fried chicken...yum

For high end there's Pierre Gagnaire, Wooriga, Jungshikdang, the Shilla Hotel, the W-Hotel, and the Intercontinental.

I'd be happy to show you around. Also, I know some cooking classes as well.

My nemesis Roboseyo also did an excellent post on Korean restaurants. He even marked things on a map. http://roboseyo.blogspot.com/2009/01/just-because-i-love-to-share-get-fat-in.html

Oh, and here is another post I wrote for another tourist.

    To anyone coming to Seoul, Dan's recommendations are spot on. Sariwon has awesome kalbi! Korean fried chicken is sweet fried chicken. It's the best. Everybody should go to Noryangjin Fish Market.
