The Delish Dish: 맛있게 드세요

Food Avenue at Myeongdong

By Kate Nelson

We took in the sights at Myeongdong in Seoul and wanted to get a bite to eat. We had tried the dakgalbi featured in the area and wanted something new with different choices for the fam. A food court was in order, so we headed to the FOOD AVENUE in the basement of the Lotte Department Store. Yes, it is still located in the area of Myeongdong and can be accessed by Metro.

A plethora of food choices await you when you make your way past the perfume, make-up stores, and food gifting on level B1 and enter the FOOD AVENUE. On the menu was delicious pho featured by a famous Korean TV show as a “must-try restaurant,” támtam. I tried it and was rewarded with delicious flavors, crisp vegetables, and a generous heaping of ginger and spices to add to the mix.

Another interesting restaurant featured a hefty cup of melted cheese to pour over the cooked hamburger – bun and all! In addition, there were Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, and Korean choices at various eateries within the food court.

*TASTY HINT: Seating is limited. Bring some friends to save a table or eat at the counter if going solo.

*DIRECTIONS: Take the Green Line (2) on the Metro to Euljiro 1 (il)-ga to exit 7. It has an escalator! Stay on the B1 floor of the Lotte Department Store.

*EXTRAS: Open 10:30-21:00. Access for persons with disabilities is available.
