    A hallway lined with glass cabinets of fermenting and aging ingredients, some sitting there for a decade, sets the tone before you reach the room itself. 7th Door is a 14-seat tasting menu restaurant in Gangnam where a former musician turned chef builds contemporary Korean cooking around fermentation as both technique and philosophy. It holds a Michelin star and ranks on Asia's 50 Best list. Three hours, one long counter, one open kitchen.

    • Tteokbokki

      “Expect classic Korean tteokbokki to arrive swimming in a slick of aromatic black truffle sauce or modern dishes, such as delicate slices of aged fish paired with pickled jalapeño ssamjang.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
