Exquisine Seoul

Exquisine sits at 6 Samseong-ro 140-gil in the Cheongdam-dong area of Seoul. This modern Korean restaurant holds a Michelin star. It is a twenty-minute walk from both the COEX Aquarium and Bongeunsa Temple.

The room runs smart and elegant, but the real draw is the pacing. While neighboring Cheongdam-dong kitchens often lean into heavy, performative service, this space prioritizes a quieter, technical focus on fusion flavors. It is a necessary retreat from the high-traffic bustle of the nearby Starfield COEX Mall. If you find the district’s usual intensity exhausting, the measured approach here offers a rare degree of clarity.
