🍽️ 4. Must-Try Restaurant Near Dongdaemun
After exploring the filming locations, fuel up at one of Seoul's most iconic food destinations!
⭐ Top Pick: Gwangjang Market Bindaetteok (광장시장 빈대떡)
Just a 10-minute walk from Dongdaemun, Gwangjang Market is Seoul's most beloved traditional market — and an absolute must for foreign visitors! The star of the market is Bindaetteok (mung bean pancake), a dish with roots stretching back to the Joseon Dynasty, hundreds of years ago. Made by grinding mung beans and mixing them with kimchi and pork, then pan-fried to crispy, golden perfection — Bindaetteok is the kind of food that makes you understand why Koreans have loved it for generations. Rich, savory, and deeply satisfying, it's consistently ranked as one of the top 3 must-eat dishes at Gwangjang Market alongside Mayak Gimbap and Yukhoe (beef tartare). One bite and you'll never forget it!
