City Guide Photo Gallery: Burger B (Seoul)
Burger B’s delicious pubfare, as well as a decent drinks list that includes IPAs on draft, makes it a go-to place in the trendy Hongdae neighborhood. Utensils and condiments arrive in a metal bucket, and the background music ranges from ’90s pop music to the Black Keys. We recommend Burger B’s signature dish, the Ultimate Burger, whose burger comes with an addictive truffle aoli, thin-cut fries and a shot of vanilla milkshake.
City Guide Photo Gallery: Grill5Taco (Seoul)
From its humble beginnings as a food truck, Grill5Taco now has two bustling locations in Hongdae and Gangnam’s Apgujeong neighborhood. The reasonably priced tacos, burritos and quesadillas combine Korean and Mexican flavors, and they offer free, unlimited nacho chips as well as authentic guacamole. Need I say more?
City Guide Restaurant Reviews: Vatos Urban Tacos (Seoul)
Vatos Urban Tacos is a rising star on the Korean fusion scene. Founded by a trio of Korean-Americans (one of whom is a former Fulbrighter!) after a successful Kickstarter campaign, the Vatos menu offers a creative, mouth-watering medley between Korean and Mexican cuisines. On a usual weekend night, crowds of foreigners and Koreans alike wait on the wooden patio outside the restaurant, clutching pagers and staring wistfully at patrons already munching on the complimentary chips and salsa.
