Hamo

Featuring home-made deonjang, Korean miso and soy sauce, Hamo serves Korean food with ingredients gathered and fermented in the old-fashioned way. It is mainly known for its bibimbap, a rice bowl topped with vegetables, pepper or soybean paste, egg and sliced beef. Their menu features four different courses, but you can also make a selection from their à la carte options.

Dining

Much as expected from a busy Asian metropolis such as Seoul, the city truly has a lot to offer in the way of dining, from traditional Korean restaurants to flavourful and endlessly varied street food, along with, of course, a plethora of eateries serving cuisine from all corners of the globe. In Korea, every sit-down meal is accompanied by kimchi--a spicy pickled cabbage, and some of the must-tries include bibimpab (vegetables and rice with an egg on top), Korean-style BBQ, and the many side dishes (banchan) that come with a staple of steamed rice.
