Dimi — Restaurant in Seoul

There were two salad options, and I chose the smaller one, which cost 16,000 won. I also ordered the tomato pasta with thick noodles, topped with some mozzarella cheese and basil pesto.

I arrived around 2 p.m., but since they have a break time at 3 p.m., there was no one on the first floor. I heard some noise upstairs, so I went up, and instead of a proper greeting, someone just said, “We have a break time at 3—is that okay?” It didn’t really feel like a warm welcome.

There's no old jakies mumbling to themselves, no reek of stale pish from the toilets. But undeniably a spot of Scottish paradise right next to Gyeongbokgung Palace. Highly...

The finest culinary establishment north of the river serving Scotland’s Tennets lager on draft. Discovery of this place should make any grown man gasp with joy. At 28 years of age, I have few bigger regrets than having failed to pay personal tribute to Dimi more often during my stay in Seoul.

Walk with the mighty Blue House in the rear and the walls of the Gyeongbokgung palace to the left, until you find the smell of freshly poured golden nectar of Tennents bobbing its irresistible white head, paired perfectly with Dimi’s outstanding...
