Hannam-dong's main street (in Yongsan-gu, Seoul) is introducing more interesting restaurants!

Hannam-dong hosts Seoul's version of the Embassy Row, where embassies of different countries and their diplomats live. And most of them reside at the UN Village, which is, perhaps, Hannam-dong's most famous landmark (Dankook University used to be the landmark before it transferred its campus).

For the past months, new restaurants have opened business (and their menus) in Hannam-dong, which is a delight to those living in the neighborhood (expats and Koreans alike), as well as for those living in the nearby areas.

Restaurants like the Banana Grill (sandwiches and hamburgers), Slow Kitchen (rich paired with chicken, etc.), O' Taco (burritos and tacos), Sujus (barbecues, rice, noodles, hummus, etc.), Naked Grill (salads, hamburgers, pasta), and soon, Beluca's table, have all given everybody (including me) lots of choices when it comes to satisfying one's craving for something different.

These restaurants join the 'oldies' in the neighborhood such as Due Cose (Italian), Shaboo-Shaboo, Puffin Cafe (western), Chakraa (Indian) and New York Steakhouse

One can now walk around Hannam-dong street with lots of choices to think about.

And don't forget the cafes, Cafe Appassionato and Paris Croissant, and the sweet shops, Lynn's Cupcakes and Tyche's.

Hannam-dong is less than five minutes away from Itaewon. One can also take the Green Bus 0213 and Blue Bus 110 from Itaewon. These buses pass through the Hannam-dong main street.
