Seoul's Top 3 Must-Visit Food and Travel Spots | Eat, Drink, and Play All in One.

1. Myeongdong Soy Sauce Crab: A Taste of Korean Culinary Excellence When in Korea, you can't miss out on authentic Korean cuisine. Among the most distinctive and beloved Korean dishes, soy sauce crab ranks high. In Seoul, Myeongdong is not only a shopping paradise but also home to a restaurant known for the 'best soy sauce crab.' Special Recommendation: Soy Sauce Crab (Myeongdong Station Exit 5) This restaurant uses the freshest crabs, marinated in a secret soy sauce recipe. The crab meat is translucent and tender, with a rich flavor that is irresistible, especially the crab roe, which is so rich that you can't get enough! The classic way to enjoy it is to mix white rice with the crab roe and sauce, absorbing the salty and sweet flavors of the soy sauce and crab roe, making every bite so delicious that you'll want to eat several bowls of rice. Tip: This place is often packed, so it's recommended to make a reservation in advance or avoid peak dining hours. If you're a seafood lover, this place is definitely worth a special trip. 2. Seongsu-dong Standard Bread: The Ultimate French Toast The second stop is Seongsu-dong, Seoul's hottest hipster alley in recent years. Known as Seoul's 'hipster hub,' it's filled with stylish cafes, trendy shops, and craft stores. Standard Bread here has become a must-visit spot for its French countryside-style thick toast. As soon as you enter the store, the aroma of bread fills the air, and the warm wooden decor gives a cozy countryside feel. Their most famous item is the super thick toast, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, topped with butter, honey, or various fruits. Each bite bursts with sweetness, filling you with happiness! Whether for breakfast, afternoon tea, or photo ops, this place won't disappoint. Reminder: There's usually a long line, so it's best to come early to avoid the afternoon rush! 3.
