Restaurant Seoul has been serving Korean cuisine in Brussels for over thirty years, from tabletop barbecue to street food, with two shops in Ixelles and Woluwe-Saint-Lambert. At the festival, the house brings its traditional barbecue: marinated beef ribs in a house-made marinade, K-chicken chicken fritters with house sauce, stir-fried udon and jjajangbap with chicken.

How it started
I opened my restaurant in 1992 in Brussels, at a time when Korean cuisine was completely unknown to everyone here. To this day, and for more than 30 years now, I remain the most authentic Korean restaurant in Brussels. I wanted people to discover our hidden culture, and it was a great success.
Where their produce comes from
The ingredients I buy (to make the sauces, etc.) come straight from Korea. As for the meat, poultry, vegetables and everything else, it is all bought here in Belgium. We buy from the best butchers in Brussels. They always sell fresh, good-quality produce, which is very important to me and my customers.
What they suggest you try first
I always recommend our traditional Korean barbecue: the Bulgogi. It is beef, thinly sliced by us and steeped in a homemade marinade that makes the meat wonderfully juicy and tender. The barbecue, cooked right at the table, is served with rice and small vegetables on the side.
