Seeking recommendation for restaurants in Seoul for celebrating birthday
Hello! I hope this is the right place to ask this. I will be travelling with my best friend to Seoul in June, and their birthday will occur during our stay. I am planning to take them to a special restaurant, either for a surprise lunch or dinner.
We would be staying in the Gwanak District (near the Sillim subway station), but I would be willing to put in a reasonable travel for the right place. Would any of you be able to suggest a nice place?
For the cuisine part, I would prefer local but would be open to fusion (or any other worth trying). The only strict limitation would be that the place should have vegetarian options for me, but since they don’t have any such restriction, I wouldn’t want to go to a strictly vegan place. I did try to go through some of the restaurants from the Michelin guide with the vegetarian filter, but couldn’t actually find those options in the menu lol.
Also, is there any really good bakery recommendation in the neighbourhood we would be staying in to get cake for them? How many days in advance would I have to place an order for it? Any help would be really appreciated and feel free to suggest a must do activity/event as well!
