Geumdwaeji Sikdang
Jung-gu, Seoul • Restaurant
Michelin Guide awarded 'Golden Pig Restaurant' for five consecutive years. Even outside of meal times, it's common to see lines stretching out the door, attesting to its popularity. The abundant juiciness of the lean meat, an elastic and chewy texture, and the well-preserved flavor of fat are all reasons for its fame. A long time has been invested in finding the right breed of pork, boasting the highest quality. The pork belly with ribs attached and other special cuts cooked on a charcoal fire in a cast iron pan avoids burning and ensures deliciously cooked meat. This common pork dish is unforgettable once tasted. They serve largely rib-focused pork belly where, after the main meat is consumed, the meat on the bones is also grilled, offering a first-rate taste and texture. Among all the pork skins tasted, this ranks extremely high, skillfully grilled to perfection, making it an unbeatable companion to alcohol. Recommended menu includes Bone-in Pork Belly, Snowflake Neck, and Pork Skin. Note the significant wait times; visit in person to register for the waiting list.
