baeknyeonok — Restaurant in Seoul

This famous restaurant has a history of specializing in (soy) bean cooking and offers various tasty tofu dishes as well as vegan cold soy bean noodle soup (콩국수), red bean soups (팥칼국수, 동지팥죽) and acorn jelly salad (도토리묵 무침).

百年屋 - Located across from Seoul Art Centre, a lovely old school tofu restaurant that serves up a number of delicious specials.

Name implies its 100 year old restaurant, not sure how close it is but the food is special here .

Their specialty- oyster pancake is super fresh and yummy. My first time having oyster pancake.

Another first - the sundubu we had is white and non-spicy. Another refreshing first for me. Tofu tastes fresh and homemade.

Very lucky to come by when there was a break in queues, we were seated right away.

Definitely...
