MealFood & marketsIndoorDinner and weekend reservations recommended

Samwon Garden is a well-known Korean barbecue restaurant that serves galbi in a large house surrounded by a garden. Marinated beef short ribs are the signature dish, grilled at the table by staff, and the meat is tender and lightly sweet. The setting, with courtyards, stone lanterns and private rooms, gives the meal a special-occasion feel that suits family gatherings and business dinners.

Prices are higher than at casual barbecue shops, and lunch sets are much more affordable than dinner. Reservations are recommended, especially in the evening and at weekends. Closing days and prices can change, so check before you travel.

Getting there

Apgujeong Station (압구정역), Line 3, is the nearest, though a taxi from Sinsa Station (신사역) is easier. Use a map app for the entrance.
