“삼청동수제비” by Michelin Guide.
삼청동수제비 has been maintaining its position in Samcheong-dong since 1982. The taste of sujebi thinly sliced in clean anchovy broth without any smell is harmonious. It is a light soup, but the texture of the clam meat is good and it tastes like a deep soup. The thin but chewy sujebi goes smoothly. Sujebi and kimchi, which cannot be separated, also have a cool taste and go well with sujebi. Potato pancakes made using only 100% potatoes are also a popular menu, and the chewy and crispness of potatoes is well felt. It is a restaurant that is well-known as excellent food at a reasonable price.

If you love kimchi with Korean food, 북촌도담 is a famous restaurant for steamed kimchi.
북촌도담 is famous for its delicious braised kimchi at a reasonable price. Domestic raw meat, not frozen meat, is purchased and used that day. The signature menu, Braised Kimchi, is served with rice in combination of well-cooked kimchi and well-boiled pork. Three kinds of side dishes are served together, but braised kimchi alone is not enough to empty a bowl of rice. Soft kimchi and meat that rip apart on the grain are rice thieves. Another delicacy is green onion pancake. Jeon, which is made with large green onions, has the flavor of green onions and a crispy and chewy texture, so it is a taste that calls for makgeolli.
