Hakrim Dabang

One of the oldest independent cafes in Seoul, Hakrim Dabang is a gateway to the 1950s, with its collection of vinyl records as well as black and white photographs that hang from the walls. Its Viennese coffee remains popular to this day, just like the homemade cream cheese cake that both young and older crowds enjoy.

Tongin Market

There is no better place for foodies on a budget than Tongin Market. At several cafes on-site (Box Lunch or Dosirak for example) visitors can purchase tokens which may then be then exchanged for foods and snacks to complement the staple of soup and/or rice. This so called 'brass coin token bento box' is a nice little novelty for those passing through.

Gwangjang Market

Gwangjang is a prime destination for those looking to experience the sensation that is Korean street food. Although it is known primarily as a clothing market, it certainly has no shortage of mouthwatering choices. Constantly teeming with visitors, the market is a great place to savour some classic specialties such as bibimbap and maybe even try something very much out of the box like the dreaded live octopus.
