Ikseon-dong has a unique maze of narrow streets with short buildings. As cafes, restaurants, and bars full of sensibility were created one by one, I felt that this unique sensibility became the identity that explains Ikseon-dong. Here are 5 of the best restaurants in Ikseon-dong that are perfect for winter.
1. Enjoying the sea in Ikseon-dong, 'Jagalchi'

A small-sized seafood pot like a cute neighborhood. It's like sitting on a blue plastic table and eating a cup of soju on a fresh seafood snack will make your heart flush. The main menu is raw sashimi, which is eaten with plenty of vegetables and sashimi cut into large pieces. The rich flavor of the whole bone soup is also very popular in winter.

As soon as you enter the main gate, you can see the lush bamboo forest and Genggeumdashi, where the water flows gently, making you feel as if you have traveled to Japan. In the evening, I leave the lights on along the stone path, and I get drunk in a different mood than during the day. Coffee is served as a drip only. Since coffee is brewed without a break, the inside of the cafe is filled with the aroma of coffee along with the sound of water flowing.

The entire red brick building that plays a prominent role as a landmark in Ikseon-dong is used. The three-story rooftop is very popular because you can enjoy a panoramic view of Ikseon-dong's unique hanok. You can enjoy a variety of breads, cakes, macaroons, sandwiches, bakeries, pasta, salads, and even brunch.
