My belated posting of findings (in april) of hip restaurants in different quartiers in Seoul 🙂
KEATS HOTEL
Renovated a house into an Italian cuisine and it is located in Namsan. The lunch course was healthy &yummy and the interior was cozy and hip. Loved the small garden as well and it seemed perfect for small parties. My recent favorite so far. oh, and the best tiramisu in town 🙂
A cafe right next to KEATS HOTEL (No name)
Found this place randomly and it had a good coffee with an amazing view of Itaewon/Namsan area. 
SMT SEOUL
Located in Chungdam. Tried the lunch course and it was okay… nothing really special but it seems to be a hip spot these days. 
HIDE OUT
A hip pub with a rooftop. Had interesting fusion menus. Located right in front of KEATS HOTEL.
